We picked up a blower and hat at a nice price but we need an intake. Standard 426 Hemi intake pattern, and 671. Ideally used.

Thanks..

Drag Racing / New to supercharging, need some pointers
« on: August 01, 2019, 08:06:00 PM »
Hi, I've been using fuel injection (Enderle Bird) and methanol for many years but I've never had the opportunity to do a supercharged application until now. We've got Duster bodied tube chassis car that weighs right around 2600 pounds. Loose converter, hopefully it's appropriate for the situation, and we picked up a stripped 671 and an additional Bird with the "K" series barrel valve. It's been suggested that it'll need to at least be respooled or just use the cube. We use iron 440 Block, bored and stroked to 500" and Stage V Hemi conversion heads. We'd like to see some low 8s and maybe an accidental 7 would really make my life complete.

I understand that a good blower cam, like a good nitrous oxide cam, is rather specific to supercharging. We have a very aggressive solid roller that I need to see what the specs are...maybe it'll get us by.

My first question to the blower guy was "what compression ratio should we use?" He said that with methanol you can go all the way up to 18:1 but he suggested we'd maybe want to stick around 12:1 and start by spinning the blower 25% overdrive. Fine with me if that's correct.

So those are the question I need to start with, you guys may need more info but I need to start by know what compression ratio will be the most friendly so I can get pistons and rods ordered. We're going to need lots of parts and we also don't yet have a blower intake. So if anyone has some good used stuff we can use, let me know.

Thank in advance,

Wayne

Drag Racing / surge tank
« on: September 28, 2018, 07:11:10 PM »
Hi all, I'm Wayne, this is my first post on this forum. Spud gave me a pretty good description of what my surge tank needs to look like and I'm starting to seriously look around for the size fuel cell I'll need to start with. I know that I'll likely want to start with at least a gallon and a half of methanol in order to feed an Enderle Bird Catcher on Indy Cylinder heads, shaved, with about 500 inches, give or take. I typically run at about 15.5:1 compression, if I can figure out how to get the video onto the desktop from my phone I'll do so. It runs great...the problem is that I just don't have the space to fit the front mounted cell I was running in the previous full bodied car I had last. This is a tube chassis car with a little big of Plymouth Duster body left and lots of plastic bolted on. The front clip is a one piece plastic job, the clip don't quite match the year of the quarters and roof but it's close enough for drag racing. I'd always run about a four gallon cell in the Omni, and surprisingly to me anyway, there's actually less space in front of the tires in the Duster than was in the Omni! I have a very small amount of available space for a surge tank, it needs to hold 1.5 gallons in order to avoid starvation although the rear cell and pump are pretty stout. I know I'll need to have an AN12 quite low on the surge to feed the belt driven pump, 80a-1 Enderle, it'll have to be sealed up and a return line fed back to the fuel cell and the poppit returns will probably need to be "Y'd" into that return...if possible. I'm sure many of you have had a similar situation and had to build one. I can't see paying nearly 600 bux for one because it has a float with a switch that turns off your rear pump. Besides, I like making my own stuff. In this case I'll have to farm out the welding as I am only a mig welder and have no spool gun. So rather than building an anchor our of steel...I think I'll let my aluminum welding buddy do that part. I mention the expensive tanks only because their dimension works out well for me. I think it's something like, 5" deep, 8" wide and 11" tall. Before I go any further I'm going to make a box that size and make xxxx sure it'll work for us on this car but I think it will.

So, anyone who's made their own surge tank that just returns back to the cell as opposed to using a holly float bowl or an electric switch I'd love to see it, hear all about it and even hear how many different cars it got used in! LOL

This is going to be an "over the winter" project so I'll try to work like xxxx and get it done before it gets cold here in Mid Michigan...I have enough to do when it get's cold! LOL

All help would be GREATLY appreciated I'll try to get those clips on her asap. I have a little clip on youtube of the omni if you like, it is, dodgeomnidoorslammer   all one word. The Duster I have a pic or two of but only one vid with it running and the fuel injection on it.
