Mustangaroo Supercharger installed - pictures **Update**

Ben, i know what your saying there.

i have the opportunity to go to a v8 without cost as my brothers old engine, radiator, headers etc are all available to me.

even if i go the v8 route i would still want a Paxton on it 8)

being in Australia I do have access to the 250 2V head pretty easily too.

so please let us know how you go with the power output as i may do something similar to my car :D

as for the girl well my wife is pretty good looking anyway 8)

cheers,

roy :)
 
2.5k? not bad at all! that sounds damn good. i want to get on the waiting list for the oz head. do you need a deposit or something? i wont have the money until next month but i'm sure it will take longer than that to find one.
 
The way I figure, if I haven't blowen it up in the past two weeks without one running as high as 10 psi @ 4000-5000 rpm, my normal cruising at 2000-3500 get's me 5-6 psi why bother? Yes, I have thought about one? I've thought oh lord what am I doing without one on this experimantal engine setup! :shock: :shock: :wink: Besides I hand't thought it would stay together this long anyway 8) :lol:
 
Ben,
It'll run fine without a BOV. However it will eventually wear out the blower and it's just hard on parts. As soon as you close the throttle under full boost, that pressure has to go somewhere, so it'll usually try and go back through the blower.
You can get one of those DSM BOVs very cheap. Or get a TurboXS RFL and really piss off the neighbors! :wink:

Thanks Will,
I have been looking at a valve to release the pressure when I let off the Throttle! Just don't like the looks of the piping needed to make it work. :wink:
 
Ben if IIRC those Paxton systems (in the 5.0 anyway) used a pressure relief valve that came standard with the set-up, probably worth a shot???

For a BOV you could use a radiator cap. You'd just need to find a way to wield a radiator flang to the back of your carb bonnet or get one of those inline radiator cap fillers that you can find in a summit mag. Install it between the carb and the paxton. If you could find the import style cap flang you'd have a larger selection of pressures to choose from. Just a thought.
 
The Paxton people told me unless I run 8 psi or more almost all the time, I won't need a pressure relief valve, yes I can run 10 psi but that's at WOT and I don't do that a whole lot, also they said to just ease off the throttle at the higher boost ranges, and it would not cause any damage to the supercharger. Thanks for everyones input.

I just added a temp gage to the boosted air side of the supercharger cruising around it's about 110* - 120* under more boost its 130* - 150*, my concern is the out side temp was only 70* when taking these temp readings? I'll watch the temp in actual use this week and try to get a feel for what my normal/max readings are. Our hot season is in the high 90* to low 100* most of the summer. :shock: :oops: Any one know at what temp you should use a intercooler, I know they 10 psi but was looking for a temp range to watch for?

Edit: I have a intercooler just trying to deside if I need it and weather it's will be worth my time and effort, as I won't be racing/draging or driving long distances (read over 10 miles)!
 
Damn nice lookin engine .. uhh, about how much horsepower and torque are ya gettn' outta that?
 
I don't know much about Intercoolers or boost, but I used to own a Stealth. Stock they run twin sidemount intercoolers at 9 psi, but that is roughly 300hp out of the box.

I would start looking at investing in an Intercooler if you think you are gonna spend more time along the 8-10 psi range with that motor, since it is only an inline six, and not designed for boost...

That intake charge? Looks like its a little hot though. You may wanna look at that, or see if you could do something about lowering the intake charge...

I would invest in the intercooler just to protect yourself.
 
no matter what amount of psi you run you should have an IC. it adds engine life, reliability, and a little horsepower. plus you can safely turn up the boost some more without worries. its a good investment and most people would reccomend it.
 
Yes I am, but I have been told I may want to plug the hole and just tune the carb without it. But then on the other hand think about making a Holley 2v run lean enough at idle, then run correctly at mid range then also run rich enough at 10 PSI all without a computer controlled fuel system. Really, I now am not sure this can really be done, I am very sure anyone wanting to run 14-20 psi on a blow thru system for street use, will have a very very hard time tuning the carb, if not impossible. If your tunning for drag racing I belive you could, but not street drivable.
 
:idea: Grab the Holley ADJUSTAJET, and hook it up to a Idle control motor used for EEC Fords. Run it off a rack, and you can adjust the effective jeeting under boost via an o2 sensor in the exhast.

The idea is simply that a stock engine without much boost will enjoy running lean, but under boost, it will go to full lean very quickly. I don't know if the adjust jet system may changed on a running engine, but if its sealed, it'll work. Other option is just linking the adjustajet into a IHI/TRW style boost bellow, and link the ratchet to the end of the pipe. It can then move out the adjusta jet the amount of turns to go from a lean 65 jet to a super rich 230 hp plus 75 jet, just by the moving of a rod.

I saw Holley carbs in SUmmit that were SC tuned. The flavor text made it sound like they made some internal changes to make it more SC friendly. I'm outta my league with such things, but wanted to pass on what I saw.

There are many things ($$$$$$$) that I could do to overcome some of the little problems we are talking about here, but my plan was do a Supercharger install to my inline six on the cheap! :lol: With only about $700. in all my parts and me doing the labor myself I am quite happy with the outcome and performance I have gotten. Some of you want to make much more HP than I have been satisfied with on my stock block and stock Aussie 2V head inline six. I could easly see someone getting 300-400 HP using a turbo or supercharger and building an engine that could handle more boost than my little six can withstand. Good luck to you, just remember as the boost goes past 10 psi your problems start to multiply very fast and the cure is lots of CA$H :shock: :wink:
 
I gotta admit- I'm in reverent awe at what you've done with that set-up on that budget. I wanna be that cool someday! Your I6-Fu is mighty
