WANTED, pics of supercharger installs
Turbo Mini Forums

As the title says really... if any one has a Vmax kit i would very much like to see how the kit has gone in and what you thought to it, Also if any one has got a jonspeed set up and if they have had problem with it.
Thanks
Alex.

Alex .... get along to the Mini Spares Bonnaza at Stoneliegh on the 8th April .... Jonspeed will be there I'm sure as they are only just up the road.

Having looked at the Jonspeed kit close up at Malvern and again at Bingley I think it would not be byond the wit of even a beginner fabricator to replicate. Get your head done by Benross and there you go ......

There are some fairly basic improvements that could be made to the Jonspeed kit too but it was obviously done as a drop in drive out sort of installation so you have to let them off a little.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

your more than likly right that i could build a supercharger install my self. only really tricky bit is the inlet manifold and possibly the bottom pully mods. But Vmax and jonspeed talk about mods they do to the charger but i don't know what these mods are. the BMW charger as far as i know isn't designed to put fuel though but both people put the carb before the charger and there for fuel is going though.

this would be a good manifold to start on but bit pricey.

Here you go,

cool car by the way, and an interesting solution to the bottom pulley.

The drive belt is an optibelt omega m8 toothed timing belt (they come in loads of sizes, this ones 1120) and the pulleys are readily avaliable if you search google for 'm8 pulleys'

ok... i NEED more info on how you put all that together and done the bottom pulley. If you got a second please Add me on you MSN, emails is alex.heap@hotmail.com same goes for any one on the site. cheers alex.

hi guys - new member from new zealand, although ive been reading this site for a long time theres alot of good info on here,

heres my super set up, not a vmax uses a toyota 4agze blower



still a work in progress, hits about 8psi..... now i just need a clutch that will hold it properly

That should be a good set up... isnt that blower a screw type?

their a routes type (spelling??) it can handle up to 14 psi i think before it destroys the coating on the rotors, around about 8 with the standard pully, another good thing is it has a magnetic clutch so i can turn it on and off (mad max style)

I got the same setup. Yes it is a rootes type.

My car is in the members section now with an engine bay pic.

Supercharged 1964 Morris 850 - Now 1330cc with 7psi.

PS. The toyota charger is not designed to have fuel put through it, but the bloke (good bloke indeed) who makes the kits for that setup here in Adelaide puts water and fuel thru his at 12 psi so yeah no problems!

Hi, and greetings from Norway!
I drive a 72mod, Supercharged 1312cc

Have in mind that I´ve got the mastercylinders on the wrong side of the car...LHD. The conversion was a pain in the ass, but the result is massive!!

Has anyone managed to mount a blower in front of the engine or is there not enough room? could you do it with one of those extended front jobbies?

A guy in Australia has a front mounted blower (above alternator) on a Moke, was in a Clubman front before that, won't fit a roundy though.

It was on I'll search for it some time.

I've seen one done like that in a mini mag or world afew mounths ago... had to cut some of the front out to get the pipes in. I think the carb was after the charger on that...

I'm in the process of converting mine to front mounted! And it will fit under a round nose with no extensions.
My first step is to remove the dizzy and use a ford coil pack controlled by a megasquirt setup.
I've already mounted a pair of ducati 999 throttle bodies on a tapered aluminium homemade manifolds.
When its finnished i'll post the pics.
