Supercharging

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270664628332

I have a plan[1], but not for this particular one, but looking at the
propensity of my old T140v to spit bits of engine out/off into the
ether you'd have to be brave assuming you could find an old shorrocks
to fit

[1] Supercharged 1275 Moggy - anyone here done one?

 

Maybe 30 yonks ago a fool of my acquiantance put a 1275 with a blower
into a Morris Minor 1000. Went like stink, handled like shit on dodgy skates.
To my knowledge it grenaded at least twice.

But someone just had to try .......
Sounds like a fun project but beware.

 

Why not use a Beetle? The Drag Waye got on fairly well, but IIRC, that
sometimes went like a bomb.

An old fiend souped-up a Moggy - well, an Austin A35, but similar - with
Sprite bits and stuffed it into a BSA 3-wheeler. Went like the
unshovelled proverbial crossed with a jackrabbit.

But it wasn't blown...

 

IIRC, Shorrock superchargers used to be a factory option on SII Minors -
for high altitude applications.

 

Sounds like what we called "normalisers" on our Cats for working
high up on the Antarctic plateaux.

A normaliser is usually a turbocharger used to maintain sea-level
pressure at the inlet manifold, rather than boost power.

 

SII Minors tend not to fly about a lot these days. I thought it was an
Anglia that flew to Hogwarts anyway.
