@Lee @pgunter is this that same one surfacing again?

 

[Lee]

Looks like it might be the one. In hiding all this time.

 

[5harp3y]

cheap but would defo be worth returning to stock and selling all the s/c bits

 

[Gundun]

I don't know. The engine bay looks a bit rough.
I'd try to bring it back to stock too and sell the s/c stuff as well.

 

[Lee]

These particular engines are very difficult to S/C they don't have forged internals like the S54's so I bet its on very low boost.

 

[pgunter]

Yep that looks like the one.. and the price has dropped too. Interesting, but not for me.

I agree Lee unless they've put in a decompression plate under the head which would allow a higher boost to be used and reduce pre ignition. The Pro Charger 2 is a great choice for the engine especially with the intercooling. JIM

 

[Nodzed]

I think the ///M is quick enough for most people just more to go wrong

 

[oldcarman]

Detonation is the worst thing when supercharging @Nodzed That's why the decompression plate goes in to reduce the compression ratio to a controllable level from say 9.8 down to 8.2 which allows running higher boost levels due to reduced heat creation. Also the intercooling plays a big part in that last bit. Heat is the enemy with forced induction of any kind. JIM
