Dont think speed control is that important really but try to find a sensor to switch it with a small difference between off and on temps that way it will cycle but keep the temp close to what you want.

Hi.
Ive got a stewart industries one in mine. aswell as the std pump. its mounted low down below the radiator level so its always got a good head of pressure feeding it.
Make sure the pipe clips are quality and tight. :shock: dont ask how i know this.

Thanks. I thought it would be a bit small, I wont chase it up then. If you used two of them wouldnt the losses in turning them over be bigger than the gains in power? I mean the blower uses power that would otherwise be at the wheels, twin turbos are effectively spun up for free from the waste? What...

Mini Supercharger

Hi all.
Been offered a supercharger from a new style mini.
What type is it?
Is it to small to do any good on a 3.9?
Thanks

Hi There Standard Rover wiring colours White with red trace is +12v to starter solenoid. This tells the ecu its cranking. Would think you need it. White wire is always +12v ignition feed. the ecu pulls up to 12v on the warning lamp and it goes out as 12v -12v =0v. No experience of the tune resistor ...

Those are all related to running at 3 bar pressure, you can up the pressure aswell to get more from the same injector to a point, but I wanted to stay near standard if you think with boost on top of the reg plus say 5 bar thats allot of fuel to spray around if a union goes. Oh and I wasnt sure about...
