I Remember reading an article in Street machine many many moons ago when Castlemaine Rod shop were marketing supercharger kits for the commonwhore V6. there was a comment about a compressor style clutch, which meant if ya wanted a mad max style on/off switch it was possible. can't see how it would work on a 6/71 tho

With an EFI car especially (RE: crapodore V6)? Different fuel maps/ratios/pressures required? Cams? ECU tunes? I'm no expert but I can't see it being as simple as a clutch switch..  Maybe a little easier with blow through carb setup cos it would simply suck more fuel through pressure?

I read somewhere that a clutch like those on the SC series chargers would fry quickly on anything like a M90 or up.. too much power to spin the charger at speed for the size of clutch it would be..
regardless you'd also need some sort of intake bypass to make it work properly as the teflon coated rotors in an M90 would not allow much air (almost none) though if they were not spinning. |

You should also look at bypass actuators so that when you are cruising, the blower will bypass back into the inlet side.
They are Vac actuated. All you need to do is add a vac hose from your intake manifold to the actuator. When you boot it and the vac drops, actuator closes the butterfly valve and you have boost. on normal cruise or light throttle, valve is open and the engine is off boost. How the set up works Attachment: bypass Valve install normal.jpg [ 25.89 KiB | Viewed 316 times ] Whipple Bypass Valves. I got mine from Yellaterra in Vic. This is the selection of styles that are available. Attachment: bypass valve 2.jpg [ 28.94 KiB | Viewed 330 times ] This is what mine looks like.

You will also need a chip to tune the ECU.
Look at the Moates site and see the gear there. http://www.moates.net/ford-19862004-c-63.html You will need their F3 Chip (J3) http://www.moates.net/f3-ford-memory-ad ... l?cPath=63 and also the Jaybird Programmer http://www.moates.net/jaybird-j3-module ... l?cPath=63 If you want to read your stock ECU and dump the Binaries etc then you will need the Burn2 Programmer http://www.moates.net/burn2-chip-progra ... l?cPath=63 and also the FA Adaptor http://www.moates.net/fa-ford-module-pr ... l?cPath=63 You will only need either the Jaybird or the Burn2, you won't need both. You can then use Tunerpro to do your tuning. I am using the Quarterhorse but I won't go recommending that yet for the 6cyl as I still have further work to do to ensure that every thing works on the Live tuning side. Car is currently running on the Quarterhorse but with a cost difference of $135/160 for the F3 set up and $250 for the Quarterhorse, if the live tuning doesn't work then you have blown $100. I also purchased Binary Editor when I got my Quarterhorse so that added to the cost If you don't want to go through Moates US, then contact BPR in Melbourne, nice guy but can be a little odd. He will help you out. http://www.bulletperformanceracing.com. ... dware.html |
