Good point Grimbo. Except for the web wheeler part. Dunno where that came from, but that has never been my opinion.

However, if a RHD version of a vehicle already exists then surely it isn't hard to throw in a defferent wiring loom and donk into that RHD Vehicle if that engine is already proven in ...

It's obviously something you've done where the wires have been cut. Find a FSM or live with what you've got. If your not sure on wiring and power then you shouldn't really stuff with it. You can only end up with more problems.

If I did consider a SC I would only want about 3-4 pounds of boost. My train of thought is that it would help greatly for highway speeds making it easier to overtake and hold speed over hills whilst "maybe" giving better fuel ecconomy on the flat because I wouldn't have to push so hard into the wind ...

So would the AMR300 work well for a 1300 efi? Supercharging is something that i've been consedering for a while, but have never found a good amount of info that would suggest fitting one to efi without having to change too much would be an easy conversion.

Send Oondy an email at andrew@gammatron.com.au

Let him know what your after and what you've been quoted and I reckon he'd beat it no worries. He supplies Dobbinson and ToughDog springs. For me the ToughDogs might be a little rough for a light vehicle like my jimny.

Good luck mate

Personal oppinion but I'd close the rear. More protection from the elements and easier to secure any gear inside. little bit of weight on the back wont make stuff all difference to the performance in the end.

You could ask Andrew @ BigO 4x4. He has looked at making some for me in the past but I didn't have the cash at the time. He is making some quality arms for Patrols and Tojo's at the moment.
