Supercharger update

[tonyh]

It’s running, not finished the carb jetting yet but provisional rolling road tests are good, I expect about 210/220 BHP and 250 Ft Lb of torque.


Those of you at the power challenge day will remember we used a large aluminium checker plate box behind the exhaust with the extractor fan hosefor the exhaust gasses, well the first run it blew the box across the workshop, kinda scary, as was the first road test.

Fantastic Tony!

What's the life expectancy of this engine?

And more importantly what's the life expectancy of anyone who drives it?

That looks great, thanks for the update!

I can see advantages with the DCOE being swopped for a DCOE pattern throttle body from Jenvey though for mapped fuel injection

Of course at this stage of development I can see why you have used a traditional carb to keep the cost down & keep it simple.

Cheers,

Mike.

Looks fantastic. Someone once tried to tell me that the Triumph V8 is not tunable at all....

The torque figures are the most relevant, that's what the heavy Stag needs to get it moving from a standstill. It all too easy to tune an engine for more power but lose the torque in mid rev-range (2000-4000 rpm). I wonder at what revs the max torque is produced with the current supercharger tests?

If the tests go well, and this can be fully developed to be reliable, and sold at an attractive price it could be the answer for those that want more go from their cars.

Chris,

guess what job Colin will be asking you to do next on his car!

Very impressive and with all that torque should make it quite interesting to drive:shock:

Tony, very interesting project, is it an Eaton M60? It may be very difficult toturn into an 'everyday use' kit without an intercooler as the compressed charge is going to be seriously hot unless run only on days like today with an ambient of -2c

Care to share with us your boost pressure attained? - Alan
