Hey i want to increase my horsepower in my 70 series 13b 3.4 cruiser.
Has anyone put a supercharger on?
Not a stupidly massive one but one thatl give a decent upgrade in power & toque.
Has anyone done it?
What do I want to put in? or is a turbo but my engine isnt plumbed up for it???

turbo is probably easier as you can get all the bits factory aka 13bt

as sig says turbo probably easier if you can track a wrecked cruiser and get the turboe gear off it, or a SC14 blower of a iggze(?) toyota, am running one on a 3.8 v6 and get about 5psi out of it, just need to alter pulley sizes to get required boost.

cheers

As Sig says it is easier to get a turbo off a wreck.

I am running an Sc14 on the 5L and with a 215mm pulley have 8lbs of boost out of the intercooler.

The Big advantage of the supercharger for 4 wheeling over a turbo is the boost at idle when you need it.

I have 4lbs at 700rpm

alright looks like turbo is the way to go then ill start looking for a wreked one.
How much would you say for me to pay for a 2nd hand turbo?
