Always willing to help - I am guessing you don't just mean changing the badge but also putting in the blower to go with?

Hmm - creating a following already...

Start off reading up this lot (from the FAQ):

Section for superchargers and turbos (and Nitrous if you're a bit mental)

SX Technical Information
help with psi boost gauge
Supercharging a 350 V8
Twin Sprintex
SX Water Pump Problem

Mr Gun Metal - are you aiming for a faithful replica of the Haughins/Priddle Spintex installation, or a similar one, still Sprintex-based, or just a blower set up (don't care about the exact layout but want it blown?)

In any case a good starting point would be a permanent search on Ebay for an ex-Range Rover Sprintex setup. See if you can geet the ECU too. Failing that any Sprintex S102 would be a start. Is your donor vehicle a flapper or hotwire?

Well Corno, there's an S102 on mine like all the others that Dennis Priddle did through Haughins in 1989. So if you want to go original you should go for that.

Zig spotted one on ebay the other day:

Looking at the pics this looks fairly complete and will save you a lot of hassle in getting the brackets and pipework you will need all together. You might even be able to put it on yourself!

I would make him an offer and pick it up on the same trip....

Yes they are all in the ebay advert so that usually means they are all included - if it was just the blower then £450 would be fair, so I would make him an offer bigger than that but obviously up to you how you negotiate ;^)
