positioning is the biggest problem, even the compact mr2 charger I used is slightly too long to fit where your existing centre mount carby sits (the
ideal s/c position cause its best to keep the charged intake pipes as short as posible).... they do not clear the fan shroud so either a porsch
cooling shroud or off to one side like mine. I would suggest a search on s/c dimentions before settling on any one model, also check that it has its
own internal lubrication system- saves having to run oil lines to it!

here's one that was on Fatso, an early bay bus. Can't remember who owned it but he was on the forum.

I would seriously think about what the tension does to your crank angle and upwards force. I have a had 2 vortech's on different cars and my advice
after playing with these and knowing what a VW's engine bay is like...buy a turbo! They run a much simpler mounting system that can be mounted out of
the engine bay and also keep heat out of the engine bay, no frictional loss with belts etc, smaller and just as cheap.
My Vortech on my V6 commodore made 238@13.5 psi and my friends turbo V6 made 280@9psi. This is because of the frictional loss of supercharging. Unless
you want to do something for the 'different factor', go turbo.

I agree its very simple to mount a turbo and its a much more efficent design.
The reason I chose to s/c is for the extra torque at low rpm (my buggy is a sand basher and low down power is essental with out wheel spin) where a
turbo's power band kicks in at a certain rpm usually somewhere above 1500rpm (unless u are running a tiny turbo) so its not really an advantage to
me.... definatly for the street its the only sensible option tho

I bought a super the other day and am playing around with mounting it and just seeing how it all works and fits its going onto a upright type 4. The
only question i have is that i was talking to a mate the other day and he tells me the ill need to run some vacum bypass system so when i get into it
and back off sharply it wont try and suck the butterfly open i have seen this system and i now i knows what he is on about cause he worked on
supercharged v8 race cars.
The way it works is when you back of there is a vacum senser that opens a bypass that lets the super keep pumping but the air is just circling around
between the manifold and the super but what i want to know is will i need to run one of these on a low boost system like only 6 pound
any info would be great

You only need two tools
Wd40 if it don't move and it should
Duct tape if it move's and it shouldn't

I run what you are talking about- its a blow back valve which I run off a vacum line hooked into my manifold under my carby. its all mechanical, got
it off the mr2 I got the s/c from, the negitive vacum when backing off or clutching activates a valve which lets the compessed air back into the
intake side of the s/c. The other benifit of using toyota s/c's is they run a clutch like that on a air con compressor that is electrically
opperated. I have a switch on my dash that allows me to switch the s/c on and off. Would be natty if on a street car it was a pressure switch under
the accelerator?

Turbo 54 have you seen first hand the result of that
vertical force on the crank due to the belt tension.?
I am interested because I am going to do this style of tensioning.
I imagine the first signs would be Massive oil leaks from the closest oil seal, is that what you saw?
