As for the hoping: I think in the end it'll be more than I had expected 
Don't know what you'll get from it, but from the outside having watched you drive/manoever it those couple of times it appears to be delivering a shed load. I guess it just depends how big a shed Edited by PascalBuyens on Saturday 30th January 17:25

glad you said that because that small charger wont make 250 bhp on top of your asperated power of 400 bhp

What makes you say that Dom? I know nothing of Supercharger technology.Dom

Looking at the rotrex units, I didn't realise that they have to have their own dedicated oil circuit and cooler. That'll be the extra radiator that's been put in. I wonder why they can't use the engine's own oil and cooler system?

Dave,
extra radiator already in is indeed for
the dedicated "charger cooler"... (the chargecooler is being made/fitted in the next two/three weeks
why dedicated? It's a different
type if oil (sc runs very high rpm
compared to normal engine oil)
Pascal, is the FFF engine you have in a 4 litre version or of a bigger displacement? and bhp quoted at the flywheel presumably? Supercharger a one off special or from stock?extra radiator already in is indeed for

A very interesting project, looking forward to the first public airing

For now it is a one off, but everything that is in my engine, should be available for other people buying the FFF (I've just ticked all options boxes)

When we ran a supercharged 6 (admittedly for a very short period of time) we weren't looking at anything like 20lbs boost for 600bhp. Assuming the RG engine is anything like stock compression (which is already high) you shouldn't need 20lbs boost. My very low compression cossy 24V was only built to take 20 ish psi. I guess the bottom line is without knowing the CR one can only guess at boost?
