Super charger on 100 series

[stevet]

Supercharger on 4.5lt 100 series , I have a supercharger fitted to my 100 series . the problem i have is heat soak , after i shut it down , between the charger intake manifold and throtal body . Does any body know of some material that i can put between them , only have about 3/8 " to work with.

Thanks

Nolathane, rubber, in fact anything that is an insulator should do the trick.

Maybe even a cork gasket?

Thanks for that i will give it some thought.

how does the super charger go on the 4.5 and how much was it

Go to an exhaust shop and get a section of the ford manifold heat shield material, they would have them from any falcon 6 cyl they had fitted an exhaust too.

Cheap, and works great, can layer it too.

Supercharged 4.5's go great, nearly as good as turbo ones

[Have a supercharged one now, had a turbo intercooled one]

Supercharger was about 7grand, had water to air inter cooler made 2.5grand , extractors ( coated) exhaust system, Auto box beefed up,
Dynoed twice, because i wanted smaller pully on charger for more boost.All up 13 to 14 grand. Have had a few problems with heat ,fitted bonnet scoop , and water sprays . i think it is under control know.

10% over standard

Dyno results were 210 HP at the wheels, 415 pound toque, the toque is a lot lower in the rev range now . the results were done tuning 35" muddys

The ACL GTR Heatshield stuff is the go, you can even buy it at Supercheap.

This stuff (off ebay)



I have one layer bent over my stainless extractors, after driving I can touch the material with bare hands.
