Forced Induction is everywhere in 2017. Most manufacturers have at least one turbocharged vehicle in their line up, and a select few offer supercharged models as well.
On the enthusiast side of things, I don’t think aftermarket turbochargers or superchargers have ever been more popular. Forced induction has become the go to replacement for displacement.
Like anything else FI isn’t exempt to people thinking outside the box, usually in regards to placement, and today’s Theme Tuesday pays homage to some of the more unique FI set ups I have seen over the years.
This little ‘supercharger that could’ gave this Beetle a shot in the arm power wise (57hp 100 ftlbs). Nothing crazy, but that’s not the point hereThe turbo set up in this Ghia is just a bit more in your face than the one on the beetle – Photo: Kris B PhotographyIn internet terms this photo is absolutely ancient, but it is certainly uniqueA look at the packaging – Via: RedditThis is (sadly) all just for show, but it is quite hilarious to look atStill patiently waiting on video of this Bisimoto project runningFrom the top side, this 300, doesn’t appear turbocharged….…but underneath is an entirely different story with hidden twinsThis Genesis couple employs a similar remote mount tacticHowever I’m not sure if it is the only rear mount at this pointWould you expect a truck like this……to have this in the bed? This Ranger throws everyone for a loopI’ve seen this car on two occasions, at the same showUnder the hood is a McCulloch supercharger, a company that operated from the 1930s to late 50sAccording to the owner this is one of a handful left in running condition
Can’t do a unique forced induction post without including the Latham supercharged Taylor’d DodgeHow about this turbo nail head?It’s a blow through carb set up with an industrial turbo that apparently came from the parts binThis car is just now seeing the dyno with its compound boost 1UZ
Check out the link above for an amazingly built Datsun 620 1uz twin turbo set up. The turbos are mounted in the bed next to his custom suspension set up. Amazing work.
