Topic: Look what I got fellas...

[road2damascus]

One Rick Rimmer supercharger kit, 2 sets of fuel injectors (24lb and 30lb), adjustable fuel pressure regulator, Clifford manifold, oil pressure-boost-AFR gauges, liquid to air intercooler, radiator/pump/fan/reservoir, Split Second ftc 1, Split Second fuel enricher, power steering relocating bracket, and a couple other odds and ends. I will post it in the members projects when I start the install.

That looks like an older one since it's still using the Eaton.  The intake was a Clifford IIRC.  Looks like a fun project.  Getting it mounted up is the easy part.  Tuning it is where most of those kits had problems.

there's only one problem. the intercooler - it's meant for a remote mount supercharger, yours is already mounted on the intake manifold so you would need a "sandwich" type intercooler core that would go between the s/c and the manifold.

other than that looks very nice.

There's no point in installing the i/c the way it is, you're not going to the drag strip which is where you would add ice and suck in the cold air, without ice it won't do anything

good luck with it, looking forward to your writeup.

Yes, I kept thinking about it and it didn't make much sense to me. I kept asking myself, can a radiator (that is cooled by the same air temperature as the air going into the engine) cool the intercooler and make the air cooler than if it was just sucked in without the intercooler? Chasing my tail...beating a dead horse?  Anyone want it for a turbo application?

I'd say keep it and look for a sandwich one in time. Before you get everything installed make a copy of the mounting profile between the s/c and intake, there are companies out there that make them custom for your application. everything else can be reused.

If that's a Clifford intake then it's 4 barrel carb mount, IIRC.

i remembered, what you want is a laminova core - best efficiency

Here's a pic of the intake with out the supercharger on it.

The pulley is rated up to 5psi and the former owner said it stayed around 4.5psi most of the time. I don't think I am going to run an intercooler.

that would most likely be just fine, make sure you run cooler plugs (by a factor of 2),

Yeah, that's the Clifford intake.

i like that is all on 1 side so no piping required.

can't wait to see in action and report on power increase..

[road2damascus]

I forgot to mention that it is 4.5psi by 1700-1800 RPM.

Sharp can you please help me with the fuel injector/fuel pressure calculations with 5psi being the max boost?

new Injector = old Injector X (14.7+boost) / 14.7

23.318 = 17.4 x (14.7 + 5 ) / 14.7

Does this mean I could use the 24lb injectors as long as I have the Enricher?

The former owner used the 24's as well. Please correct me.
