Wow, wish i could fabricate things like that >.<

How does the supercharger sound?

Bet it sounds lush with that a-series whine as well

The only disappointing part is the supercharger is quite quiet. They only way of getting more noise is by reducing the pulley to either a 15% or 17%, this way the supercharger will be noise’re. However because I can't run an intercooler with this setup the standard pulley will remain....

Loads of power would be great, but reliability is key, it’s great fun and surprised a few cars already!

The pipe in the manifold goes to the megajolt, this measures either boost or vacuum.

As others have rightly said, fantastic work mate!

I'd like to copy your bottom pulley with trigger wheel. Did you fabricate it all yourself?

I bought the trigger wheel from Slark and got my dad to machine a mateing flange to fix it in place.

Thank you. Cars been running trouble free for over a year now, however the engine will be coming out over the winter as I want to check the cam for wear. I'm using high lift rockers whichcan put a lot of stress on the camshaft...
