I finally got this project done and it only took me a couple of weeks.
I have been wanting this car to go faster so I rebuilt the motor years ago. It wasn't fast enough so I put the dual Webers on it. It went faster but not fast enough. So I installed Nitrous. It went faster but not enough. You can see where this is going........
I wanted it to still go faster so I supercharged it. Well, it's faster!!


Won't know how much faster till I get it out to the track on Friday. Not sure on the Boost. Won't know till I install a gauge.
The supercharger came out of a Mercedes SLK. Smallest one I could find.
Since I locked the rear end and installed traction bars, the car really hooks up but I still need a set of drag slicks for it. That's my next purchase.


Supercharged 1200


1973 Coupe

mmm two door. what are the carbs off?
Have any trouble with carb gaskets blowing?
video would be aws

looks like a 32/36 weber..... bet that will be a prick to tune for boost

Would It be possible to run a similar set up with dual su's?

I LIKE!

I'll try and get a video on Friday. It was pain to tune. I'd take it out and run it then have to pull the box and tune the carbs. Take it out again and do the same thing over again. In and out of the garage. Finally got it where I want it.
Webers are 32/36's. No carb gaskets blown yet.

50hp shot, do you run like two nozzles, (one per carb plenum) or four (one per cyl)?
I'm slowly fitting nitrous to my supercharged A15. My set up is drawthrough, and I have my nozzle mounted in through the side of the plate which adapts the carb to the supercharger.
What 1/4 mile times has your car run thus far?
What fuel pump do you run to supply your nitrous system? Remember when your manifold is on boost, that fuel supply to the nozzle will have to overcome the boost pressure, potentially reducing the amount of fuel delivered and creating the risk of a dreaded lean out. Not trying to sound preachy, (it looks like you know what you're doing) just offering some advise.
Is your blower an eaton, or some variety of screw blower?


BTW, Your car is everything I love in a 1200. A two door seedan, (DROOL) and a force fed A series on the bottle. It couldn't get much better!

COOL!

i remeber seeing a post on this car a couple of months ago, but i didn't relise it was supercharged!

What time does it run down the 1/4 mile?

I'm very interested to know more about this set up!

Thanks!!

I run one NOS and one Fuel nozzle right into the intake between the two carbs.
I have only ran the car on an 1/8th mile track at 9 second before the supercharger. I won't know new times until tomorrow.
I am running a electric fuel pump that pushes 8-10 pounds of pressure which seems to work fine.
The blower is a screw type and it does look like an eaton. Not sure if it really is. You can google them on ebay. They run about $450. It is clutch drive so I installed a switch on the dash.

It seems to run fine. I am still able to run my RPM's up to 8000 on full boost with NOS. The A15 motor is really holding out.
I do plan on rebuilding it over the winter. I new set of rings and bearings would be worth it since its been about 10 years since it's last rebuild.

Datsa73 - what kind of jetting have you done to the Webers?
