Neat supercharger set-up.
Scweeeet job.


Have you got the Brake fluid reservoirs on top of the master cylinders in the cabin?

Blownmk1,

Good job mate! Is it running yet? Hows it go.

Cheers,
Steve

Damn you ! [:x)]

Thats damn cool

Ive been thinking about building a similar engine 4 some time now, but i just dont have the know - how.

Is the intake manifold partly a sidedraft weber manifold ??

u were very lucky to come across a 75 mk1 2dr auto, as they seem to be quite rare [V]

Mk2_2dr_2L
its a std weber downdraft manifold cut off at the end of the runners with a alloy tube welded on to make a plenum.

RS AL
$250 for the supercharger and lots of head scratching all the parts are either corolla escort or the original supercharger parts.

Funnell
consistant 8 pounds of boost no pinging just need to get it on a dyno to get it running smooth as the carb needle was just a guess (a bad one), and the needle I got was way way lean.... lots of filing and im getting close. will get some figures from the dyno and post again soon

Mark
yep got the adjustable setup from quickco in SA and got a mate to refit the setup into a MK1 pedal box.

smccask
got a adjustable cam pulley so i guess ill find out how the cam goes but was very mild originally bought the cam to fit when i was just gonna run efi, but sold the manifold and std sierra computer and bought a su and a supercharger instead.

Well its getting closer to being on the road now had some problems on the dyno (welch plug fell out !) and have just got the car back on the road now, initial figures are 115kw (154hp)at the wheels!

Response's to HMMM
1.)Initailly I had intended on just EFI and built the engine around that, but once I started investigating the EFI parts that I had and looked into what else I was gonna be up for I changed my mind and went supercharged, Im happy with my decision as I dont think I would have the power that I now have with just EFI.

2.)Have had another MK1 2L with a suck thru Turbo setup complete with CD Stromberg and was more "Home Made" than this and it still went quite well, although I never had the chance to get it on the dyno. Ill tell you one thing though the pipe between the carb and the supercharger gets pretty icey once its been running for a bit !

Gone is the standard switchgear !

BLOWNMK12L

i like

Cant believe u made that much power on only 8psi thats awesome !!

I am yet to see the Dyno chart, pick the car up tomorrow from the final round of dyno tuning so ill post the chart then.

Also on driving the car in response to a question posed by HMMM the cam that I have doesnt seem to be lumpy at all.
