Re: URGENT S/C oil Question

I think the gaskets around the S/C are leaking, if i wanted to renew seals, Gaskets etc... are there any kits you can buy and how difficult is it to do the job?

URGENT S/C oil Question

I've just checked the oil level in the S/C (the supercharger itself) and its empty! :shock: I need to put some in there asap, no where local seems to stock it, I've found 80/90 gear oil, standard SC oil is 75/90, could I get away with using that or is it completely different? I know the viscosity is...

Oil Catch Tank

I was looking to buy an oil catch tank, its Greddy dimensions: 65x80x185mm.

It has one inlet and one outlet. would this be the correct setup on a Mk1 s/c as i have looked at Rev3 tubby which comes with one as standard and seems to have 3 hoses connected to it.

Re: Mini Cooper SC

If you want an oil cooler get one off an NA, you will need the sump, oil filter bracket adn pipework too. Find someone who is scrapping an NA and grab all the stuff, reckon you could get it pretty cheaply tbh. Its a good design as its a water oil cooler and is well out of harms way plus is fairly i...

Re: MK2 Intercooler(rev3) on Mk1b supercharger

I did see the one on ebay, however im getting mine from goto10 as im doing a swap for an n/a mk1 gear box. out of interest the one on ebay was painted black which seems a silly choice in colour as its trying to cool air.

Re: Mini Cooper SC

I did look at the fensport pulley 12-14psi apparently. May do that as a future mod money willing. I wanted to sort the cooling out first(intercooler, spal fan, possibly an oil cooler, some hideous air intake ;) Have you ever used exhaust rap, the label say 50% heat reduction in engine bay and can yo...

Re: Mini Cooper SC
