First supercharged ge8 in usa! Video pics
I've finally done it. I got bored of turbo so I went for the next best thing. See the incredible awesomeness of a supercharged ge8:
WATCH HERE! Includes a walk-around followed by a test run. You really need sound to appreciate it
Warning: people may seem more excited than they really are.

Did your mind explode... ?
Here's a 0-60 run:
***ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting<0-60
Please note that the ambient atomospheric pressure that day was reading 14.3 psi by the map sensor. You can see this when I do my pull without the blower. All of my pulls that night without the blower were recording 14.3 psi also. Even on my normal ideal SRI 14.3 psi. So boost indeed it was.

Okay Pics:
It all started a few nights ago when I did this:
Feeling my inner hillbilly ricer finally emerging, I took the next step:
The tow hook holds the whole thing up.
That license plate on the front isn't even valid, but it keeps the police away. Maybe it'll come in handy one day.
Trigger is just a faux slipknot:
This way I don't have to drive around with it at full throttle. Just pull the cord to go full throtle, let it go to go back to idle.
just close the hood enought to catch on the safety latch. If I had more ducting I could have run it through the foglight void.
Thank you craftsman for your support in my quest to make .5 psi of boost and to shave .3 off my 0-60.

A thing of Beauty... My only concern is, still no Duct Tape. Moving from masking to painters tape does add a variety of color but duct tape adds a certain Ghetto quality.

I was thinking about an invention of the 60s just before I left my favorite conspiracy web site and checked the new post and watched your experiment..... Have you ever heard of "turbonique" superchargers??? You need to check those monsters out... It is a solid propellant powered turbine engine that powers the supercharger... They put one of the turbines (minus the S/C) on a go kart and ran it on the 1/4 mile at Green Valley Raceway and did over 150mph in 1964. This is right up your alley....Turbonique AP supercharger, rocket drag axle and microturbo thrust engine - The Tuners Group

No f'ing way! Now mount it under the hood and run a line to the pedal! Actually don't - that could be dangerous in a lot of ways.
Definitely one of the most amusing things I've seen on the car-web. Hope more people see it than just on this forum.

AWRYTE..Lyon, this is the first time that I've seen your actual turbo kit...I must say you're a genius
The doubt you have about being part red-neck -what ever that means to you- is abundantly clear now... No need worry anymore.Funny stuff..

My 2 stroke fit runs about a 40:1 mix, maybe I addded too much oil to the tank?
CEL is because my EGR is blocked and I removed the second O2 sensor to use a UEGO. Unless you make-a-da funny joke. In which case, haha!

That reminds me, I have to take my car in for state inspection so I need to pull the battery cable off to reset the ECU and turn off the CEL... It'll stay off for 40 miles or more and it is about 12 miles to town... Now if I don't get a ticket for being a day late all will be fine.
