a friend of mine was showing me some pictures of what he was doing 25 odd years ago and i thought id show them around :>

it was a L24 with a diesel supercharger and two 1 3/4" SU's he said it was planed for a 240z.

i hope you enjoy :>

That ought to look interesting in a Z...

Cool idea, I've wondered about supercharging, everyone adds turbos (with good reason)

How did it work out for him? I suppose he had O-ringed his block?? Did he tell you any details?

Very curious... Looks NEAT!

it didnt work he didnt know how to set it up 25 years ago but thats all changed dont know to many details im sure next time i see him ill pick his brain a bit he says he could get it to work but had more important stuff on back then if ur interested i could get a basic out line of how to get one to work from him, id love to do it for the awsumness of being odd and rare it would be easyer to go RB or L24ET

This one is much more recent and should be getting close to road-ready.

I tink the build at some point looks fantastic, i just can't stop wonder if it actually will fit in the car, it looks like it will be to close to the inner fender and what about those SU's, doesen't look as they will sit straight up, more like a 15 degree angle.

Was it ever installed in the car ?

Chris, it looks like the engine has been canted to the right to compensate for the space the supercharger and manifold is taking up. Notice that the engine is mounted on a level crossmember in the second pic. In the last pic it appears that the carbs are in fact level. Interesting build. Man would I love to have a supercharged L28.
