Fageol Supercharger Build

[pocket-rocket]

You and your dad certainly do some extremely nice and clean work. I hope you enter that truck in some contests/shows. It's too clean not to.

If I do end up taking it back apart We'll likely put some different heads on it that aren't decked to lower the compression.
As far as building a forged* motor I haven't really seen any parts or places that sell them. Is there anything you could suggest please feel free.

With the skill you and your Dad have, I have no doubts you could forge the internals. And there are many here who would help with the details, I'm sure.

That is some beautiful work!!! A truck like that could even get a dirty hobo laid....lol

sweet!

Im wondering what may be common knowledge but what does the fageol supercharger output for cfm? Im workin on a setup similar but im using an eaton m62 and mpfi for my fuel delivery system, but that's awesome I wish I had some more tools in my little shop the curves u cut for your serp idler pulley look perfect how did u cut them?

Here is some info from the fageol site - http://members.cox.net/fageolsuperch.../pdf/ratio.pdf

I imagine the eaton would be pushing a good bit more air then the fageol.
The pulley itself was actually part of the kit I bought and I imagine an original fageol piece. The pulley bracket is what my dad made.


I've been racing with it and really enjoying the set up and instant power. Here is a couple videos of that unmistakeable fageol whine.

From what I've read the eaton and the fagoel are pushing 62 cfm per revolution so there like the same the only difference I see is the fageol is a draw through and is limited to 12500 Rpms while the eaton is about 15000 but I've seen people push them to 22000 but serious cooling afterward... I really like the old school carb. Look way more though looks like fun I can't wait till I get mine runnin but ill stop jackin ur thread... thanks for the info

Thanks for sharing I enjoyed seeing this. Brings back memories.

Wow, you and your dad did an amazing job fabricating the parts to make this system a reality. So many details in the build.

Love the old-school S-10 - expecially the flat brushed-aluminum dash. Thanks for sharing this, really enjoyed reading it.

Enjoyed this thread thoroughly. My Dad's a tool and die maker and had made me a lot of custom parts as well. These guys are really talented.

Just thought I'd mention that I have one of these Max 30 blowers too, but never used it. It's brand new, I paid $900 for it way back when. I'll let it go for just $300 plus shipping now. I hope someone here can use it.

I cross-posted this over at Thirdgen.org for you as well, some of the 2.8L V6 Camaro/Firebird folks may be interested.

Oh and GM Ontario - very nice job with this! Very impressive work by both you and your dad!

Thank you OdieTurbo, I sold it.

Thank you OdieTurbo, I sold it.

No problem! I had been looking for one for a few years, but since I got rid of my 2.8 project and moved up to a 3.4 with MPFI, I no longer need it. I hope somebody gets some use out of it!
