The V8 Owners Forum -

if vacuum is a problem you can use a Diesel alternator off something like a astra, they have a pump built on the back, I think some transits had them as well. Ill make a call tonight to a mate who is a performance/modified car journalist [sp] he will have a good idea who is good and who is not. As ...

Ew! Amazing in a kinda "why?!" way!!! 3 Cranks too...

Yes I was wondering between Street Supercharging, A Do-It-Yourself Guide To and the Corky Bell one, might flip a coin

I think I Really need someone to club me over the head everytime I think about buying something that looks good but is cheap- it seems to be taking far too long for "you get what you pay for" to sink in. You are probably completely right mr dnb and I should know it- I made those mistakes a couple of...

Can anyone recommend the best book to buy on supercharging? I only have FI mentioned briefly in tuning books but it would be nice to have a dedicated book- have heard that the one by Corky Bell is good and have got amazon vouchers to use up though there are several on there!

Think I will just disassemble, clean & reassemble what I already have, do I really just need to check for wear on the shafts? I've also been old I can just flat the slightly worn anvils (bits in contact with the va...

Ohh! More trivia lol thanks for that, they dont look very black then considering the diesel fumes and soot that has gone through them..

So can one assume that they are pretty well sealed against fumes etc and no conversion has to be done before they can suck a pre-mix of petrol & air?
