| A successful supercharger
installation begins with careful preparation and planning. In order to establish what can be achieved with an existing engine it is necessary, particularly on older engines, to know some of it's history. Is it in good condition, and within manufacturers tolerances? Has it been rebuilt or modified from the standard specification? Many rebuilt engines have a higher than original comp. ratio, and camshaft changes are often made at the time of rebuild. During the process of rebuilding, fitting new pistons (possibly with different crown configuration and capacity), "skimming" the cylinder head and block will affect compression ratio. A reground camshaft with a different profile may differ from the original and affect eventual cylinder pressure. However, many modifications which work with conventional tuning can also be successfully employed on supercharged applications. Generally we have found that the 98 octane (roughly similar to 93 US R+M/2) fuel available in Australia is the limiting factor in safe power production. As we tailor each kit to suit the chosen engine spec. and available fuel octane, we need to ascertain the actual ratio of each individual vehicle to establish just how much boost could safely be employed. |

of our tailored conversion kits we require the following engine details: |
