Have a Hillclimb Mate who is doing some research on Supercharging a Ford X Flow
Does anybody know if its already been done and if so, does anybody have any info' or links to have a read of ?
Thanks in advance for any help
It's being done at the mo' in PPC magazine. It's been going on for well over a year so far...
16 issues and counting
Blimey these superchargers are getting rather popular!
yes do seem to be popular, am i the only fool doing saab 2.3 turbo?
I stopped using crossflows in the late 70's, isn't supercharging one a bit like giving viagra to your great grandfather?
It most certainly has been done! There's a chap (HoraceM on the WSCC forum) with a Westfield in the Northampton area who has a supercharged 1.7
crossflow. It went on the rolling road recently.......235hp at the wheels I believe!!!
The car was on show at the WSCC outside tent on Monday at the Stoneleigh show.

Because we can!
Otherwise we might as well all go out and buy a honda civic thingy or mini cooper whatsit or perhaps a mercades something.

It's in no way better, poorer economy, probably less power, more expensive to build, less reliable!
