Thanks for the comment. Did you do anything specific for controlling heat? I'm currently mulling over a cold air intake routing from in front of the radiator.
@@Exhausted-autos my intake is forward of the rad as well. So far, if anything I’d say that I’m too cold. My S/C engine runs best at full operating temp and since I installed less than a month ago ambient temps here in late fall have been cool (7-15C). With my intake & carb placement the S/C never gets hot at all thus far and the carb itself is almost ice cool, too the point that it gathers alot of condensation on it during a drive. The last 2 weeks I have blocked off 3/4 of the grill with cardboard and that gas helped keep temps up. Next summer will tell the tale but I am fairly certain that temps will not be an issue. My Ex header is heat wrapped as well and I suspect that is a factor. I tagged you in a FB post on my setup which is very close to what you are planning.
Great video I have my eye on the Vmaxscart option to so I'm hoping it's an easy, pain-free fit! Will be very interested to see how you find the tuning process which seems to be a challenge...
interested to see if you feel like the extra work for the SU was worth it over just using the weber that he designed the kit for. Great video though, very interesting since Im planning to go down this road with my '74 MBG GT in a year or so... as of right now the VMAX CART kit looks like a great option.
Thanks for the comment, apologies for the delayed response I'm just catching up. I'm not sure, maybe 30 to 40 hp at the flywheel if all goes well, which is a big increase ... only one way to find out is to get it finished and over to the rolling road.
They're quite different in many ways. Im 6ft and there's plenty of space in both lengthwise, although the B is narrower with the door closer to right side. The ability to move the steering wheel up and down is good in the TF. With the TF it feels like you're sitting really in it, the mid mounted engine make the back end feel quite high, if I compare it to my memory of a B roadster, also the screen frame on the TF is thick (as it needs to be strong) do that takes a bit of getting use to initially but its not an issue. Best thing to do is sit in some.... happy to help if you're anywhere near the Midlands
I don’t know much about superchargers, but when you cut the rear of the supercharger off, doesn’t that remove the rear support bearings for the rotors?
Hi, I don't know too much about superchargers, very little in fact, but I always though you needed a low compression ratio for a supercharger. I also thought 10:1 was about tops for an MG, but that's just a guess. Wouldn't a supercharger put it over the top?@@Exhausted-autos
hi there, would love to have a chat about this project and wondered if i could reach out have u got other social media or an email address i could speak to you on? thanks

Watching for sure, thanks for taking us along.
Nice, looking fwd to this series.
Hope you enjoy it!
That is an interesting chart, never seen that before 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve just completed basically doing exactly what you are planning to do, with the exception that I retained my Lucas dizzy. Yer on the right track. 👍🏻

This looks really good
Thanks for the nice comment...
nice
keep your work
Hi Craig, the HIF 44 carb is good for 150 bhp with the M45 supercharger, the boost fitting needs to be after the rotors, before the manifold .
Hi Stuart, thanks for the comment, I did see that in your earlier video. Happy for you to keep me on the straight and narrow here as I found my way. 👍
Quand verrons nous la suite ?
Great video

.... thanks for the comment, as long as I can get it started. That's the first step.

Thanks for the comment, I'll find out soon I guess... 👍

Thanks for the great comment 😀👍
Very interesting! What sort of power are you hoping for with this set up?

Craig would like to ask which car has the most space in the drivers seat mgb gt or the tf

Thanks for the comment. No they're still there, just enough material to not compromise their function I hope 😀
Maybe I missed it, but what compression ratio does your GT engine have? Great looing GT.
Thanks for the comment, I don't know exactly, I can find out when I take the head off.... but I think somewhere around 10.3:1 or so.

@@David-wy9jl yeah it is too high, that's why I have to take the head off and fit a decompression plate.... that's my next job.
