That setup does look tempting, for a Clubby body. Doubt it would fit in a roundnose...?

I can't see if it's a round or clubby. I'll have to PM him.

Thanks!

Clubby I think the bonnet latch is wrong for a round nose and it has a charcoal canister and dual circuit brakes both of AFAIK didn't come out on round noses. There is too much room in front of the engine as well IMO

There we go! Looks like it may be a real tight squeeze with a SC12 up front. Have to give it a test fit.

Ben- Is that one of those little electric powered superchargers? Looks like a vacuum cleaner motor :lol:

Is there any limitations On what sort of SC you can Run at all If a A series Engine is setup for high PSI?

14 PSI is pushing it for the SC12, I think. The SC14, which is off the 1GGZE (I think), will go a bit higher, as it is a bigger s/c.

Depends on the type of supercharger
The SC12 / SC14 as fitted to Toyotas and the Lissholm type as fitted to Mercs etc have polymer coated rotors which start to melt at about 16 PSI
