IIRC Ph'r Norman D has this upgrade fitted.

True

Andre in Belgium did the convertion for me some six months ago

I have been helping to develop the kit with a few other tweeks and findout if there are any problems under road conditions

We look as if we will be a position to to offer the convetions in the UK next year.

One thing for sure it will not be at Arden prices

I thought the Sprintex twin-screw superchargers have been available? As well as several yank companies.

Could be wong but a company called AJ6 engineering used to supply them in the UK...

Curious about getting a new supercharger myself. Seems the best way of getting serious power.

Not for the V8 though AJ6

Ah right fair enough. I was told Sprintex did them for the v8 but I've obviously been misinformed.

600BHP? Christ. Is it not a constant strain to get traction or do you have LSD fitted? Do you mind if I ask what engine modifcations you have? You don't seem to have stated anywhere!

That was a smaller top pulley, not realy for road use though as compression was a bit to high.

That I would call my standard road pulley getting 550bhp

That is with the SwinScrew Supercharger, remap, different exhaust and induction tubing.

I have now fitted a 4.2 Lt engine and reduced the compression ratio, also having a mark 2 version of the induction tubeing and a tubeular exhaust headers made.

Shold then get 650bhp+ and would still be tractable for road use.

We are looking into making a LSD diff.

Fair play mate. That sounds a great way of using your expendable income.

It just goes to show how solid the original set up is if you're getting these sort of numbers using the existing fuel system, drivetrain and internals (obv^ not on your 4.2). Can I ask did your 4.0 kill itself or was the decision just made to go the way of the 4.2?

I guess these cars are very understressed! I wonder how I'm going to break it to the mrs that there will be no holiday next year because I want a twin-screw supercharger because "NormanD" has one...

I agree there seems a lot of strength in the V8

The reason I put the 4.2 in that I wanted to lower the compression of the 4.0lt engine to give it a fighting chance with the extra boost I wante to use.

I could have just done that to the 4.0lt but it had already done 120K hard miles, but I did have a spare 4.2 with not many miles on the clock so it seemed a 'no brainer' not to use it

Lol, you're mental mate. Keep us posted!

Edit: I've also found this for those of us who can't afford Arden! I knew I'd seen one somewhere;
