Default I'd rather be blown

Hi All,

I was at the Sheparton swap meet on the week end. One of the things that caught my eye was a small supercharger from a 2 litre Toyota. This little blower had an electric clutch on the front of it similar to an AC compressor (images of Mad Max come to mind).

The little motor it was off happily turns 7000 RPM and the price was right and it got me thinking. I could relatively easily adapt 2 of them to feed the LS1 I plan to use. The LS1 spins a bit slower than the Toyota so I could machine up some smaller serpentine pulleys to turn them a bit faster. I wouldn't want huge amounts of boost since I'll be using a stock mofor. With the LS1 in the Cobra there is heaps of hood clearance so an intercooler could sit on top of the motor geting cold air from the hood scoop.

Food for thought.

Cheers
