Supercharging an ACD 1600i engine | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Am interested in peoples views on the following Idea, I have a 1600 fuel injected engine out of a 1999 mexican Bug. The question is would it be possible to use a Judson/ VWG40 or VWG60 supercharger to force induct the engine owing to the fact that the fuel is port injected.With this engine the Ecu monitors the air temp entering the throttle body and also measures the mainforld pressure and adjusts the fuel mixture to suit.

I know this may seem a bit off the mark but I am looking to for something different in the engine bay of my Speedster.

Cheers Nigel

May I suggest "shop talk forums"? They have a lot of specific engine geeks over there. Anything can be made to work - just insert money - I am sure it would look awesome!

Many years ago I put a Judson supercharger on the engine of my almost new '65 VW convertible. The engine lasted less than 5 miles.

Be very careful.
