I was looking at random stuff on the net and found a blower for a 2.8
HEre is the companys main site the first link is a picture of the blower with some information on it.

cool, but you'll have to convert to carb or TBI first

 

sweet, custom fuel rails, intake adaptor, good to go

or

get an 82-84 car. I know where an 84 SE 6cylinder is right now too!

 

hmmmmm...i think that could work too

 

I almost bought that guys kit back in the early 90's for my S-10 Blazer.
For $2500..........
I can insert a V-8 into my Blazer for 1/2 that much & get more power!
I'm inserting a 3.4 long block with 50K miles on it, rebuilt tranny and "new" used rear axle & gasket & I still come up way less than spending $2500 on just a supercharger for a worn engine.
He's in El Cajon, right?
I saw one of those at a swap meet for like $500.
I was gonna give the guy $50 and help him take it off his hands.

I could put that on the 3.4 I've got in my Blazer, tho!
Anyone want to buy it for me!

 

it only gives 5 lbs of boost at 5000rpm. Thats kinda lame.
now if it had 5lbs at 2500-3000, im am getting excited.

it is real neat and different.

 

put a smaller puley on it

 

sure that is simple but would it last very long like that?

spinning 2-3 time faster than designed for could cause havoc on the teflon seals.

I believe the racing ones do not but the street blowers have teflon seals on the screws.

how long do they last even when its a street blower?


I fear with the same ammount of cash a turbo would be better, if you spend the same ammount for a good turbo 20+ bo0st. not as neat as a blower sticking out of the hood though.

but it would suck having a blower n get wooped on, with a turbo they cant see it.

 

we caint go with that much boost on stock motor ( 9.5:1 or so)
maybe on the bonnie's motor (7.6:1 from factory, but cast pistons)

 

Theoretical question - on the 60* engines 3.4 = longest stroke - 2.8 the shortest. Could you put, say, a 3.1 crank in a 3.4 block to lower the compression ratio & run a massive boost?

 

3.1 crank 3.4 crank are the same, the piston pins are set higher for the compression increase. Rods are the same too.
