sc14 in a surf?

Post by skidmark »

got a 3 liter v6 surf that im thinking about adding a sc14 supercarger(yes i know about the headgasket issues...) but with the vaccuum operated add and what not on the front diff,is it going to try and dissingage the front end when the motor is making boost? due to the lack of vacuum?

cheers Alistair

would there be room to add a SC14? also its a bit under sized for that motor.
TRD used eatons (i think) in their kit for those motors.

the supercharger comes off a 2 litre engine. it may flow enough for a 3 litre but it will be spinning a lot more rpm to get some decent boost. they tend to make a ton of heat so you need to intercool somehow. high rpm and high heat are not good for those rotors.
i'm sure you could fit it on a 4 litre but how much boost you make and how long it lasts is debatable.

the eatons, like what the holden engines have, is far more efficient and makes less heat.
