This relates to all small sixes
On a blow through system the intercooler is between the turbocharger and the carburetor and there is no fuel in the intercooler.
On a draw through system, the intercooler still has to be after the turbocharger but now it is filed with a large volume of air/fuel mixture which is not safe.

With draw through you get the cooling effect of the fuel vapourisation, so no intercooler should be needed, if you want to go high manifold pressure water inject will do it. Any trubo, super will mix the fuel and air very nicely. you could always go propane!

And the second is that newer turbos do not have the carbon oil seals that draw-through turbos were designed with. We've tried a couple draw-through, but the high closed-throttle vacuum works real hard to pull oil past the shaft seals in non-carbon seal versions. If using a TBI, I'd just do blow-through as it doesn't care like a carb would, or need anything special to do it. TBI with built-in fuel pressure regulator need blow-through to alter boost fuel pressure, the IAT sensor can see actual boost temperatures for corrections, and you can't use a bypass valve ('BOV') for a few more considerations.
The minute that they say electric turbo, you know they are conning you. There is nothing turbo about it, they know that turbo is thought as more power, so they use that name.
It should be called ''fantastic super-duper electric super charger''.
Turbo is short for turbine, Turbine is an efficient like water wheel. The exhaust gas goes through the turbine side ''hot side'' to drive the compressor supercharger ''cold side''.

What about the Eaton superchargers that came on Super Coupes and such?
They are very inefficient which creates a lot of heat but will work at 8 to 10 lbs of boost.

So an intercooler would be necessary?
You can run an intercooler between the supercharger and intake manifold if you use port injection.
The throttle body always goes on the inlet of a positive displacement supercharger.

Better than the old rootes type of blower but still no internal compression, this is where the twin screw Lysholm excels. See

You know that we just post stuff about superchargers just so we can see this picture, right? In all seriousness, though, you did a great job! Do you have drawing of you setup?

Guilty as charged, I have fallen into the trap! Sorry i am proud of what I've done, so please excuse the bragging. No drawings, i did do some sketches for my own reference when i made all the stuff. I made most of it at my work, I had a milling machine and lathe at my disposal, the rest I made at home. Ill throw a picture of the manifold, with the bypass valve.

Been done, Jack Collins import 2 many years ago, someone on this forum has one. IMO if your starting from scratch, get the later SOHC six, this overcomes all the problems of pushrods instantly. Best one was rated at 172kW.I wish I could get your setup. There are no aluminum heads or crossflow heads available here in the states. I wonder how much it would cost to ship one to me
Free half the time, the SOHC is a very under rated engine, the bottom end is very close to a Barra specially in the last version. 450 at the flywheel is very possible with one.
