could be done, but will be a bit of work and may not last to long if the engine is kept as it. would need to fabricate several bits, but pleanty of carby cars have been s/c'd before.

personaly i think ure wasting your time.
3a's are a shitthouse engine. dont waste your time trying to rig up a blower to blow under the carb. too much time to spend on that engine i reckin. plus the power gains would not make up for the cash spent, and if u are wanting high boost, then u will have to re-do the internals to handle it. But if u REALY want to im sure it could be done, and would be an interesting and original setup.

jus put a gze in it...

Like the guy above said... the 3a is a peice of the shite, not worth wasting money on. Of course if you're dead set on doing it then go ahead...

or just put a gze in...

or better yet go turb because s/c is dumb

haha yea i can agree the engine is a shithouse, but the car is worth more with that THING in there than a gze or 4age.

what would be required in such a set-up?

i reall dont want to do it, but putting a 4age or something it is just a shame really, and yes i dont think the 4agze is that great, well the AFM version anyway...

why would it be worth more with a puss 3A in there?

If it was then surely it wouldn't be once a s/c had killed it?

best to do it once and do it right and go ze or 4age

Well if its worth so much with a shithouse 3a in it, then it sounds like it needs to be kept in completely original condition to stay at that value. Which would mean no s/c. Besides, you'll most likely kill the engine trying to run a s/c on it, not to mention how much money it will cost.

its a factory carby mr2...AW10 only 1542 ever produced. mines number 649 lol. these were factory 3alu and most people have put in 4a's. these are worth more with a 3alu according to the people that did my car valuation. but just na power in there is so pathetic, its umm....FREAKIN SLOW!

anyone got pics of a blowen 3a?

If its worth more with the factory engine in then modifying the factory engine isn't going to help it hold any value

i suppose you have a few hundred Super Editions that everyone can come take away aswell??!! a friend sold a mint cond & original one to a collector with 100,000K's for $10,000...must be worth something!

What a waste of money. There is no way I would pay more for a low-spec version of a car if i could get the high-spec version for a fraction of the price!

Must be some rich collector. One of the guys I worked with got an aw10 for $1500 about a year ago. Maybe cos it was auto it wernt worth another 8500?

But yea, as said above. If you want to keep it origional for the value sake, then putting a s/c on aint really the best idea.

were you meaning sold the superedition for $10,000?

cos there was only like 250 of them built and they were the highest of the high spec, would be worth a mint to the right person
