superchargers

Post by Dean Jensen » Sat Jun 18, 2005 6:46 am

Let me jump in here and say one more thing about the Judson, it has a lot of mass, everything about it is heavier, just try and fit the parts on the car, because of this, it seems to me, that you have more vibration, because of the rotating mass, which may not be completely in balance. Because of the mass, if you step on it, you would be putting more of a stress on the belts. I feel that the belts are worn out faster on it verses a Shorrock. Take the main part of a Shorrock, it is much lighter, as is the whole unit. Regards Dean [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hello all, I found Monsieur Redman's article on the Toyota blower, and have heard there is a M45 that works........however, there appears to be a LOT of extra tubing involved. Anyone happen to know where a supercharger can be found (with some fabrication, OK) that mounts on the same side as the Moss, etc. units? I would like something that looks somewhat original....or add-on original, I should say! How about you Aussie magicians?? Best, Ray "Quid, me anxius?"

G'day Ray, I have a mate with a TC running a Tojo blower same as the one in the photos, mounted R/H side. Much simpler and neater, however the unit is upside-down when mounted this side. It doesn't seem to mind. Will try to get photos up.

SUPERCHARGERS

Post by Barry Cook » Sat May 14, 2011 7:17 pm

Hi All, I am leaning towards supercharging my TC, however I know very little about them except they will get you up the hill better. I have a couple of concerns and questions about them and like to thank you all in advance for your opinions and expertise. There are several different makes and models out there! SO, I don't want to modify the hood. I want something that is more sound and reliable than the others, and something in which parts are available? Also by supercharging the engine, is it highly recommended to beef up everything downstream from the supercharger like putting in a chrome moly crank and axle shafts, etc. ? If so, are there any other recommended parts to replace to carry the extra torque? Your opinions, experience here, recommended reading and supplier names will be much appreciated. Many Thanks, Barry TC 2324 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

There are any superchargers out there , Marshall, Judson, Schorrock etc these are old period units and can be hard to get , there are a few guys making new units, Moss had a nice set up a few years back but stopped ( but I hear rumors of a new run) There is a fellow in California making some kits too. Yes you would be wise to beef up any units down stream as well as make ssure the engine is in nice shape . I have one on my TD most of the units fit under the bonnett . If you want you could gicve mea call 718 762-7878 9-5 EST and I can paqss on some info Joe -----Original Message----- From: Barry Cook barryc8950@yahoo.com> To: MG-TABC@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sat, May 14, 2011 10:17 pm Subject: [mg-tabc] SUPERCHARGERS Hi All, I am leaning towards supercharging my TC, however I know very little about them except they will get you up the hill better.
