    Base engine has to make 300 to make 450 plus but it should that easy.
    The B I G issue here is the Americans that make the kits use Windsors not clevo's. You might be stretching to find one🤔

    Mine hasn't been run yet and TBH alot of it done thru ideas alot don't agree with but it hasn't affected me before just offended some. 
    I did the pipe work yes. And its out of exhaust pipe which most say should be ally but that would mean more joiners and or welding which Im not set up to do at home yet. I can weld ally with my mig but I only have thick wire which isn'tgood for thin pipe.
     
    Sizing is based on na engine out put and target hp. So as my car showed a true weight shifted 450ish hp I had 3 blowers in my range and I found 1 cheap 2nd hand at the same time. 
     
    Camshaft depends on target and use again and as I want to make around the 550-600 mark (add 150hp safely to your na mark boosted) to run good et's. So im using 658 lift and 264@50duration on unspecified lobe sep with a solid roller by Marshall Custom Cams.
     
    Comp is 11.2 and fired by a MS3 ecu coil on plug via LS coils and burning E85.
     
    Mine is stock with ally head and you can run more comp on ally head deal over iron without detonation issues.You build a ProCharged engine like a NA deal really but if you want it to go you have to rev em and fit pulleys to suit with a solid tune.
     
    So ill be aiming for around 15psi but as I have a very well ported cyl head that shows less boost under pressure but makes better hp and is more efficient It will prob be a lower number?

    V8 centrifugal blower kits are common and easy. The unit above looks to be a Powerdyne or such.
     
    Detionation needs to be controlled to ignition timing retard and a boost referenced carby and fuel system are a must.

    I second the steel toilet roll idea. Bit of pipe, lots of grease.

    If you make sure the jack is pointing sideways you cangently go side to side. Have the jack as low as it can go (keeping chassis etc off the ground of course) to reduce the risk of it sliding off. Keeping the front wheels straight with the steering lock helps reduce twist/roll in the body too.
    Do it at work quite often safe as.

    Michael Charalambous reacted to bear351c in 351c oil leak   
    Silastic wont stick to oil, so use thinners/prepsol to clean heads and rocker covers. Must be squeaky clean.
    Is the oil coming from the front of the trans.?

    Hey guys inspected the car today, the leak has stopped and oil is still full so not to major of a leak. Following the leak up its coming from the passenger side rocker cover so i will replace the gaskets  try get rubber ones and silcone them to stop the leak. If it continues to leak ill jack the car up while the leak is happening to trace it in the act. Thanks for all your help boys much appreciated.
