Nice boring head!

Nice boring head!

It's a good bit of kit! No chatter, really solid and all the bars to go from 25mm to 350mm

Another test fit in the car.

This time the plenum is spaced a further 16mm out (I'll be machining a spacer plate to increase plenum volume) and the throttle body has been rotated 90 degrees to clear the bodywork.

Snug fit but it all clears and sits under the bonnet with 5 or 6mm spare!

 

By the time I'm finished, this engine bay will be crammed full with engine.....just the way it should be!!

We want a V8!!!!!!

Sorry, I want a V8 version.....please?

[richardm6994]

Tim, you're welcome to be my Guineapig....I mean test pilot for the first of two v8 charger projects

[Guest Tim Norman]

OK back to the books for research and more overtime to pay for it.

There's only one place for Supercharger on the V8 and it doesn't involve carbs!

Yeh. And a thumping great hole in the bonnet.

Just been looking in mags at an XJR though.

14kg of aluminium to turn into swarf......should keep me out of mischief for a little while!!!

Whilst steamer has been busy with the charger side of things i,ve been occupied doing other bits and bobs to get the car ready, Last weekend was creating a fuel return to the tank. The stylus uses an mg midget fuel tank which has no return, i didnt want to drill or modify the tank it self so i set about making a new fuel sender with fuel return built in.

the old plastic sender was not modifyable in any way so i bought a universal one and adapted it to fit.

 

next problem was the gauge will only read half full when when actully full due to the shallow nature of the mg tank so the fix will hopefully be this, thanks for the heads up (knights)

Is the blue pipe hard wall or silicon?

Silicon will dissolve in petrol

[Guest 2b cruising]

Dan, does that come with full instructions. The low warning lights are a bonus.

Where did you buy it from?
