Supercharged

[Ginger Tom]

As some of you may know I have plans to build a supercharged 1.7 FRP engine, this could be for sale if the right person comes along with the right sort of money, I have recently acquired a set of FRP cams, no 539 FRP inlet manifold and a milltek evo exhaust manifold so breathing shouldn't be a problem, for the internals I've got h beam rods and bolts, just need to get the dished pistons as I won't be be using a decomp plate.

Parts needed now are supercharger, pistons and engine, I've just gotta pick an engine up from another member on here, the same one I'm trying to buy the charger off.

Any who, here are some pics of the bits that I picked up over the weekend

The rods

I've gotta take a pic of the manifold but there is already a pic in the for sale threads

Looking forward to following the progress Tom .

Are you on the blob, Tom? (Sanitary towels just to the top-left of the inlet manifold) :-D

 

[Ginger Tom]

Yes Rob, I'm actually a woman

Alright, princess - calm down. It's only a little tummy ache once a month - anyone would think you were dying.

Are they s1600 on rods?
Have you had pistons ordered to suit as the s1600 ran a 1mm shorter stroke so you may have serious issues with compression ratio. I apologise im sure you thought of this just thought id mention

 

[Ginger Tom]

No, I've not ordered the pistons, I've not stripped down the frankenstien engine yet to get dimensions for pistons etc. thanks for the shout Ryan,

 

[RyanG]

Not an issue tom sounds like it will be a good engine when done looks a good spec, what ecu are you going to run?

 

[Ginger Tom]

That dta s70 thing I've got, I've got it sitting there so I may aswell use it be a waste of money otherwise

 

[RyanG]

Oh right, the one you were gonna use for an engine similar to mine, we spoke a while ago didn't we.
Like i say this will be a bit of kit in a little puma will be interesting to see how you get on

 

[Ginger Tom]

Yeh that's the kiddie.

 

[Ziggy]

:roll: DTA dont do a S70, they S40, S60, S80 or S100...

 

[Ginger Tom]

It's the 60 then, bought it about a year ago
