Slightly shagged supercharger anybody?

[B-Reight]

Found this whilst surfing the bay, could be of interest to you guys. Is this the supercharger system originally fitted to the SX models?

thinking of possibly maybe selling my un-shagged well-proven blower set up (Opcon blower, MoTec ECU, custom plenum etc etc) which I had been contemplating putting into my wedge...i also have a new 4.6V8 with low comp, big valve heads if anyone wants to go mad and build a beast

I assume you had it running - how much power/torque did you get from it, and at what boost?

Ahem....might be interested.

Ok for engines at present though.
Just checking which organs I don't need.

yes ran very well at modest boost of about 6-7psi. limited it to around 300bhp and about 360lb/ft (at 2200rpm!) with standard compression heads but in its new build (lower comp, ported heads with big exhaust valves) would be good for 350bhp at least (Dennis reckoned 400 should be a doddle!)
