Saw this on ebay

Was this actually made for a sammy, or is someone smokin' crack??

Looks interesting, if it was made/will work on a Sammy.

I have an old calmini cat that shows a 1.3l supercharger

Camden made them years ago. So that is the old version. Camden got bought out and the new owners want to revive the Suzuki supercharger... Check out the message at the top of their web site. They hope to retool the design and release it again.

I'd love a supercharged 1,3 ltr on nitrous.. just for the hell of it :flipoff2:

I emailed Gary@Camden with the Ebay ad.. maybe they'll buy it or something.

billjohn · May 29, 2004

The thing is, they are looking for a vehicle that already has one mounted and running in good condition. They want to run some tests as a base and then improve on the design.

Well hell.. they can pick up a Zuk for cheaper than that blower is going for

I know of NOBODY with a running Zuk with that thing on it.. they may have to do it all themselves..

what do you think that blower is worth? 1,500 sound low or high to you?

My buddy Tim from Gadzuks ( Who helped invent the missing link shackle ) just bought a Zuk from an ex-member ( who had the original set of missing links ever built ) with a Camden on it for $3K. I remember when he first showed up to a club meeting with that thing, took off and almost rolled it coming out of the parking lot hot shifting into second doing a hard left, maxed the left front missing link and got way squirrelly. It worked though!

There was a guy called Dewey (I think) that I met at EJS 99 that had a gold Sammi with a Camden supercharger on it. Seemed to work well throughout the rev range

In reality though...you could do a 1.6 swap for less money and more power. 45% gains...that like what, an extra 25 HP?

ksfastman · Jun 1, 2004

anyone run one with FI?

I knew a guy when I was in Florida that had one on his sammy, it seemed to work very well for him. He got his from Calmini I think.

Are you sure??????

Stock Samurai ~65HP
Stock 1.6 16V ~100HP
=~50% increase
So yea, a little more than a 45% increase, but can you buy a 1.6 16V, wiring harness, adapter kit, redo the wiring harness (either buy the books, or pay someone to rewire), and all the other misc. stuff, I may be forgetting, cheaper than $1500??
Don't get me wrong, if I had the choice, I think I would go with the 1.6. But I think it would cost more money for the 1.6 16V swap, for aproximately the same overall HP.

HUMZUKI · Jun 1, 2004

If you put a blower on a stock 1.6 8v you'd have like 116HP.

Goof · Jun 1, 2004

Maybe engines and stuff are cheaper up here...but doing a 1.6L swap for $1,500 (canadian monies) isn't all that hard. For $1500 US, you would still have money for a header and cam.

But the 1.6 will make the power with a lot lees strain.

I would do this personaly. Get a custom ground low end blower cam and run a smaller blower pulley and get a LOT more horse power. By then you might need some custom JE pistons though

but worth it for all the power. Can anyone say competition for the 4.3????

HUMZUKI · Jun 2, 2004

Hell yea dude, thats what Im talkin about! I would seriously think a blown 1.6 8v with all the trimings would have over 150HP. Its like 80 stock....with a Weber,Summo II head,ported intake,Header/Exaust,Under drive pully,Wires and a Coil Would any one disagree that it would put out AT LEAST 100HP.Then with all that working together put a blower on top thats 145HP and like 200 lbs.

there doesn't appear to be an adaptor under the weber. do you think a guy could take the adaptor to install a weber and use it to put a zuk tb on instead of the weber?
