sorry pete but im still trying to get my head around why you are going the SC route.As lauren says the SC will become inefficient and create more heat than power unless you plan to radically alter the SC type and intercooling.

.but then this throws up the question about using a supercharger at all? All superchargers demand power from the engine to work so i would have thought with an

"all out big power" 4a it would make far more sense to fit a turbocharger to your engine than an SC? Am i the only one who sees this? The turbo will produce a shedload more power and at no expense to the engine,ie its only using exhaust gas to power it and not dragging on the pulleys.If you were aiming below 200bhp then the SC is fine but i dont see the point in compromising with the very thing thats creating your boost when you are going all out on the rest of the engine,surely you have got to fit a turbo to that engine instead?

If this was me building this i would instantly buy a carl crawford turbo manifold,ditch the sc,make the intercooling as daft as you want,chargecooler,WI.

.and i think you could smash 240bhp never mind reach it.

But im not building it,its your project and if you are determined to keep it as a SC then fair enough,i just dont see the thinking behind keeping the SC which is ultimately going to restrict your power when you are doing so much and spending so much to modify the rest of the engine to free power.You mailed me the spec list,its very impressive,should be absolutely mental.

.

.ive huge respect for anyone doing this type of thing,the above are just my thoughts on it as a professional mechanic,please dont take any of it personally,i still think its a fantastic project.
