supercharging your truck for cheap

[89_3&3]

Ok since the new motor is going in me and my budy the junk yard junkie are going to post some pics in this thread over the next couple weeks with a step by step instruction on how to take and modify a truck turbo into a not so roots supercharger
We have already sourced our parts for this build and with a build budget of 500 bucks max we will see how much this stock block can really handle

Ok so heres where we feel on this truck we have enough room to pull this off we are going use the one unused mount hole and the 2 power steering mounts and the 3rd power steering bracket moved from the block to the mounting plate we have to fab up

Now if you think that this wont work or we are pulling you leg theres a company in the states already making these systems for 3 to 6 k depending on the accessories we are just making it for cheaper and less pretty

I'm interested to see how this turns out.

We talked to our buddy down at the truck wrecker and he has set aside a diesel turbo to start with for 100 bucks witch we will dismantle and size for the bearings and pully we will need to make it work

Is this just for small blocks or big blocks also?

Interesting...

Why are you changing a turbo to a supercharger? Why not just use it as a turbo? Why not just source a supercharger? A not so roots supercharger is also called a centrifugal supercharger, but you knew that, right.

This will be an interesting one to follow.

Ok so we have kind of mocked up the bracket that will come off the block and the head and we will use the ac pully and it looks like everything will line up nicely

You can cut the cynical on this site with a knife

So we will start with some 3/8 stock to build the bracket and to answer your question turbos run hot and need controllers and waste gates and blow off valves this is a junk yard build for fun
And thanks for going to the site I provided and then correcting me anyway

So now we just have to pick up the flux capacitor And we can start plumbing it in

Not being cynical at all. You just want it to be. I was simply asking questions to fully understand your line of thinking. I know you are doing it on a budget. It just seems like you could get a supercharger cheap to use, instead of turning a turbo into one. Superchargers create heat and need a wastegate to blow off extra pressure just like a turbo.

Hey, a junk yard build to blow up a motor!
