When reading your post I immediately thought of a simpler CVT arrangement between the existing pulleys, kinda like a Reeves drive on a mechanically variable speed drill press. Would be a fun experiment for someone mechanically inclined with cash to spare.

I’m aware of these, but I don’t know of anyone who has developed one for the 86, and from what I have seen, these don’t drop right in to an existing space, so someone would need to make a custom setup. These are often bulkier, so packaging can be an issue. It is definitely a cool concept, and it would be a lot more efficient than over-spinning the supercharger.
