The other type of forced induction Options

[thespacepanda]

I have a 95 ST and I hear all over this site this n that about dropping in a turbo on the 7A or the 3S swap (which is not reasonable considering mine is an A series engine/tranny). Well I'm not too terribly concerned with putting a turbo in my ST because I don't want a massive amount of power. I'm trying to make a strong track car so I really wanna keep my power band low.

Basically, I was thinking of going down the supercharger route.

Now I know that they put a sc on the 4A-GZE but I'm not really looking forward to an engine swap. I was wondering if anybody knows anything about the possibility of not just swapping the head off the 4A but possibly the supercharger as well.

a head swap ( FE to GZE ) is a lot harder and I think is a little more expensive than a 3SGTE swap, it may look easier because you'd be using the same tranny, but there a lot of fine details that will need attention in order to get the car up and running.

Take a look at Nik's 7AGTE , he has the head you wanna swap, but he used a turbo instead of supercharger. the out come is great but there is a lot of work involve. If you can pull it off, you'll have a great engine / car.

Good luck !

^^What he said.


But on a side note, as a grip track car why would anyone want a powerband in low rpms. You want a flat top end power band with torque in case you drop to low.
