mutantZ Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Wow, looks wicked! Did he offset the oilpan sump? I can't tell from the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenfood Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 yer sry posted in a rush, i dont remember the problem but it was set up wrong and didnt work, it was shelved and the parts are in several places at the moment. he said he would have no problem getting it to work now as he knows how to set it up properly being more experienced these days but there is little point with todays technology. these are the only pics ive seen and i didnt really ask bout the specifics but as you can imagine there was alot of costom bits :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamH Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I wish there was some videos of it running in a car. I bet it would sound amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHO-Z Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) It is simular to the TR6 supercharged set ups. They use a single SU off of a Jag and run about 5 to 6 psi of boost. http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/trpictures/ Edited September 18, 2009 by SHO-Z add link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh817 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It is simular to the TR6 supercharged set ups. They use a single SU off of a Jag and run about 5 to 6 psi of boost. http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/trpictures/ If you built the motor for a forced induction purpose, as in like more than 6psi, then it would be best to intercool it. The problem with the Triumph guys is that they take the motor that they have and then slap a supercharger onto it. You don't get anything with 9:1 compression and 6psi compared to 7.5:1 or 8:1 and 15psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetterben Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Being behind the wheel of a FI tr6 sounds scary. I have spent much time with those cars.....SCARY!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get anything with 9:1 compression and 6psi compared to 7.5:1 or 8:1 and 15psi. You really do not want to intercool a wet system. There is too much volume and a back fire would be dangerous! I just wanted to show some other options out there. Six psi on a 280 motor would work fine without a intercooler. There are some FI wet supercharged Zs that are working great with out an intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I don't know what the term wet system means. :/ I just said intercooler because there was someone on here with a green z that was supercharged and he ran into detonation problems or something? He thought maybe it was due to the heat of the intake charge, especially from the supercharger and the exhaust on the same side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wets when the fuel is compressed isnt it? So youve got a really long track of air/fuel mixture between the supercharger and the intake ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Ah ok, its because of the carbs onto the supercharger thing. I was thinking more on the lines of running a supercharger to injectors, so its the same concept as a turbo... just... supercharger. Cool the air before the injectors sort of thing. EDIT: Maybe not, I'm still lost. D: Someone is bound to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 A wet system is Air-Carbs-SC-Intake-Engine. A Dry system would be Air -> SC -> Carbs/injectors -> Intake -> Engine or Air -> SC -> Intercooler -> Carbs/injectors -> Intake -> Engine So in a wet system with Suck through fuel from a carb in front of the SC theres a fuel air/mix transiting the intercooler in a wet intercooled system. one backfire and the intercooler will be doing a decent impression of a grenade. coolers don't have the structural integrity of cylinder walls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Another way to see it, in a dry system the carbs are pressurized, wet they arent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
