427carguy Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hey have any of you guys ever tried to super charge a 1600 crossflow as im wanting something a little different for my mk1 escort project Cheers Hogan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I've NOT done it to a ford, but I've done it to my non crossflow datsun. All much of a muchness really. I have an adapter to fit a 32/36 weber to an S/C14 if you're interested? (I have the carb and a ramflo too) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Have you got any pics of the setup for interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Have you got any pics of the setup for interest? Thats a couple of pics of mine that are pretty old now. It loves drawthrough, and goes hardies. more pics, I haven't tried the nitrous yet though........................... The toyota blowers are limited to around 10-11psi max with a drawthrough set up. There's a chance of goinmg higher with water/meth injection, but efficency plummets above that level. Detonation and broken motors enuses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427carguy Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 may be interested in the adapter but its a long term project at the moment. do you have any pics of the ford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusherman Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 bloody choice that if all fails with my twin sideys in guna charge it did you do many internal mods? has it been reliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 FFS CLICK!!! runamuck is bart? haha lol....fuck im onto it... seen that set up, quite badass... should go good on a esky... would you need to lower the comp though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusherman Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 any way couldnt get this plan of my mind im thinking my blueprinted 1600 x-flow side mounted supercharger (polished ofcourse) running a side draft. would lokk like sum sick twisted mad scientist idea. panel and paint then boooooost. fuckn ay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 My bad, I meant to say "Ive not done it to a ford". Damn brain fade! It has been pretty reliable, But I drive it like I stole it which has killed a few motors. Yeah I've done a few improvements to the motor. And ddropped the comp with an off the shelf "head saver shim". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427carguy Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 cant find any pics of 1600s being supercharged, im just trying to think where it could sit coz the inlet side has a booster and dizzy and i would prefer to keep everything under the hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 if you can run a blow through or injected setup you could mount the supercharger somewhere else, down low below the inlet manifold, or on the exhaust side then through an intercooler in the front somewhere.

anglia4 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 or on the exhaust side then through an intercooler in the front somewhere. Tis one of my possible plans for my anglias boosty goodness. M90 under the exhaust and then through either an intercooler in the front or a water charge cooler mounted somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 "Nismo-capri" has a TPI off a 3.9 falcon on his pinto. If you were prepared to shell out for an ECU of some kind you could adapt one of those to your manifold. Then you'd be able to run blowtrhough (With intercooler) with max reliabitly.

pusherman Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 just a random thaught i had. i dont know sweet fa about these chargers but if you running it in a draw thru set up would you not be sucking petrol vapours thru the turbines and washing all the bearings of their lube?

RUNAMUCK Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 the bearings are seperate form the Vaccuum/boost part of the blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickyddyer Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 cant find any pics of 1600s being supercharged, im just trying to think where it could sit coz the inlet side has a booster and dizzy and i would prefer to keep everything under the hood Put it on exhaust side where battery is like barts setup. Have ur extractors made around it. Put battery in boot BAm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusherman Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 back to this topic again with a sc12 or 14 only running at 10 psi would i need to drop the compression for less piston meltyness, its a constant bother in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Well hello there. This thread is highly relevant to my interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Depending on what your compression ratio/dynamic compression ration is, you might get away just fine without lowering the compression. There is a chance that you'll be able to buy an off-the-shelf "head saver" shim. Water meth injection can aleviate detonation isssues. Cooling mist make really sweet high pressure pumps that can handle methanol, and are plenty adequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 also comes down to the tune if pistons etc are gonna melt. will be a bit of trial and error, with what boost and timing works best. for example, you could run 20psi and retard the shit out of the timing so it doesn't knock. it wouldn't blow up, but it would throw all the power out the exhaust,be gutless, melt your exhaust manifold and generally be shit. Or , could run 5psi and get the timing where it needs to be, make good power and not blow up. need to find ballance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
