I have a fairly specific need, and question. I have a 5.8 351w from a 96 F-150. I want to supercharge it when I put it in my ranger. The thing is..I want a clutch actuated supercharger (Kind of like mad max). I saw one a couple years ago, but remember neither the brand, or the application. So far I have only found a couple superchargers for this engine. Can someone point me in a direction to finding this? I don't want a full time supercharger because of how small the truck is, I only want the power on demand (NOS would get to expensive). Please help me. There is a z28 that I'm dying to lay to waste.

 

The design of most superchargers would allow almost 0 airflow if they were not turning. I remember laughing at that car on Mad Max when he turned it off and the motor kept humming along.

 

I used the mad max car as an example because I know most people didn't read the article I did. I know I saw this supercharger....I will find it... and I'm sure there is a way to let air through... perhaps the "screws" just turn freely..I dunno... damn, can't read this crap while I'm drinkin anymore.....

 

crash - what does the magnacharger due if the belt breaks.

You've got me sold on the magnacharger kit, now I just have to get the 'HELP ME GET A S/C' fund going and I'll be all set to get it.

 

I saw a earlier thread asking about the cars in Mad Max..

The blower setup was fake in the movie.
