This supercharger was designed for 40hp VW 1300, it runs on a V belt and claims 50% increase. Few modifications and vioula!!! Here are two sites:

Or has anyone thought of using a turbo & plenum off of a 301 turbo Pontiac. The Turbo just has a single port downward goose neck with a carb intake plenum off to the side. I notice the intake manifold on this V8 only had a single little round port dead centre.

 

Poop our carb off put it on the plenum, plant the turbo on top of the intake opening, then plum the exhaust. Or!!! get rid of the intake manifold all together, plop 2 of these turbo setup on each side of those lovely siamese ports on the EA81's???!!!??

I don't know if that little judson could push enough air for an engine with twice the power and 600 more cc

Anything is better than atmospheric pressure, if it aint booosting atleast its assisting, remember its going just to one cylinder at a time. I have a Latham five carburator supercharger, air comes in the front and pushed out the back. Eliminate the top carb so I don't have to cut a hole in the hood and just use one Carter on each side, the other two will just be for show. Line up the pulleys and plum the some intake tubes back to the front.

 

I have EA81 apart in a basket going to bring it to my VW buddy and see what VW performance parts can be re engineered. Like a steel crank, lighter push rods, roller rockers, bigblock valvesprings, and cams. Fuji must of bought the rights off of VW 1200 back in 1965ish and watercooled it. My EA81 looks like a backwards Superbettle to me, IRS transaxle, torsion bar suspension, and struts.
