Could put a hose extension on it and build a metal box to house it with some dampening. I'd move that Cone Air filter to the front of the radiator so you have a bit colder air intake. The supercharger will add more than enough heat to the charge. Looks COOL as hell but not functional.

A BIG coalescing oil to air separator is a must if you are feeding the PVC back into the air intake side of a turbo/supercharger. Even more so with an Intercooler. You do not want oil mist inside the vanes or cooler. On my Subaru Turbo's, I run 1 on each side 10AN line from the valve covers up...

Blow-By is always an issue on pressure fed engines. Ring control goes all wonky with pressure and HEAT. Someone asked early in this post if you had opened up the top piston ring end gap.

With most turbos you can plumb the blow-off valve back into the air box, or as Subaru does it, just before the turbo but after the MAF.

EBooger's Green Brick tech pages had a lot of good info back then. Crossmember mods, torsion bar info, powersteering mods....... But I do not remember if Steve was involved at all. I'm thinking not.

On the supercharger kit do they offer different crank pulleys? Mix and match pulley sizes can be fun (NOT) but you can dial in the shaft speed and PSI. Sometimes a 1/2 inch change on just the top pulley can be too much. And you want as large of pulleys, matched of course, so the belt has better...

And something else shrinks when it gets cold but I can't put my hands on it ;)

You do not need to hear it, you will FEEL it.

And there is NOTHING like a LRT in a long tunnel and punch the go fast peddle half way through.

What makes a Classic car "CLASSIC"? In 1965 Plymouth made 22,000 Barracudas, many with slant sixes. In 1968 Chevy made 208,000 327 powered Cameros, many 6's too. In 1978 only 2,500 LRT's In 1979 only 3,500 LRT's. So 6,000 for both years ?????????? .

Rumors were rampant but 90% were wrong. With only 2500 1978 LRT's made for the whole world if you have one keep it. With around 3500 1979 LRT's made it is almost guaranteed a 1978 is more desirable. Now a short story. In 1990 when I was stationed at Ft Lewis WA my Company Commander had a 1979...

This will not help the question on 1979 LRT air pump. But my story on what cam is in mine. I have the EH1 from my 1978 LRT on a stand buried in the garage. The engine was pulled and regasketed around 1989 due to leaking coolant at right headgasket. Has steel dual chain cam sprockets, Windage...

5 years ago I seen a 2010 Kawasaki Concours 1400 for sell in Kellogg Idaho. Seller said he'd hold it if I gave a $250 deposit. I had a local LEO friend check out the seller and all seamed OK so I paid (PayPal).... Day of the 5 hour drive seller said the bike was just serviced and was ready to...

Not a clue which Tractor Fluid we were using. It was from NAPA stores in 1994 when I was going to collage for my AS's in Automotive and Welding. Can you remember what oil you used 29+ years ago for cutting and grinding if it was not your equipment? I know it was clear. colorless and did not...

In Community Collage we used cheap Tractor Fluid for the same Black & Decker machine. Instructor was a FORD machnic during summer time and said that when Type F was hard to find they used Tractor Fluid in the C4's and power steering......
