I sure did not know they were on more common cars.
Mechanically driven means that the Supercharger also uses up some of the engine power.
I did an image.google.com search for 3.8 liter gm 3800 series v6 supercharger and it is bulky; takes up a lot of space. That means installation is not going to be easy.
It would be better of it was electrically driven and you could simply install a higher amperage alternator. That would simplify the installation.
I don't know how viable they are but I like 7 years ago I saw what was a Turbocharger Compressor Housing and bearing housing but where the Exhaust end would have bin had an electric motor on it.
The problem there is you would need a DC motor capable of the rpms needed to turn the Turbo compressor wheel fast enough.
If you could do that with the T3 the installation would not be so hard. Just a matter of fabricating some Exhaust between the Exhaust manifold and the down pipe.
You would need to fabricate of modify the existing turbine shaft
It also could be that a turbo compressor end with a larger Compressor wheel would not need to be turned as fast making the motor issue easier.
Go to
