NOW! The latest move includes (I think most people should work it out early :P
My old 1500, fitted with 1300 head for low compression

Toyota Roots Supercharger from a charged MR2

This sucker should be good for 11psi

Crank adaptor, to drive the sucker.

Drilled PCD's

Tapped and bolted

Fiddling with some dodgy mounts I was given, to give me an idea of how it goes

Sorted the belt tensioner

Bought a stock JZX80 intercooler and a MegaSquirt ECU to run it all

Latest saga is adapting another distributor to the engine for the signal pickups

And that should bring everything up to date with everthing thats happened in the past year (almost)

Enjoy
