Default Supercharger

Would a G60 Supercharger from a 91 Corrado be sufficient boost pressure to improve a 85 CGT w/NG 2.3 or is it a waste of time?

For one, unless you or someone previously swapped in the NG code engine, your '85 CGT does NOT have the 133hp engine. It'll have a 115hp 2.2L KX code 10v.

Two, the G60 is way undersized for a 2.2L I5 engine. You'd need to find a G80 or G100, neither of which exist to my knowledge.

Also, where to put it, and how to drive it from the crank pulley? Not much room to mount it, and unless you ditch the AC or power steering, you don't have a pulley to drive it from.

Just get an MC code 10v turbo, and drop it in. Very straight forward swap, its been done several times, lotsa information on the web about it...You can also use the bits from the MC, or even the older KH turbo, on your KX code engine with the proper ECU and have that work out pretty well. Your KX has 8.x:1 compression, and the KH has 7.8 as does the early MC (late MC has 8.3:1).

well, since it does have the NG in it, you can't do much w/out dropping the CR if you don't want to swap a motor again.

Otherwise, get an MC code engine and wiring/ecu. 165hp, 177lb-ft, plus chipable to 230-250hp.
