SUPERCHARGE MY RED MOTOR

[dianne]

hey Guys,

i need some help as ive got a 149 motor that i want to put in my fc, i want to supercharge it any ideas of what type of manifold and blower?.. i was told a 471 would be good but if anyone has any pics or info on this can you please let me know..thanks signed the Rev Head Chick..

Dianne.

I think that you will find that a 4-71 will be too big for a 149. the 3-53 blower or the 3-71 would be better. The numbering system that is used for the GM type (or roots type) for a 3-53 is 3 cylinders 53 cubic inches per cylinder. a 4-71 is 4 cylinders and 71 cubic inches per cylinder.

Alternatively either use a Toyota blower, I think that they came off a Supra.

As was fitted to FC 427's car before it was removed and sold on.

Alternatively there is are superchargers like the Eaton M90 as fitted to FCCOOL's car shown below:



Hope this helps

The Mate ran his old 202 to a 7.7 second quarter mile and holds the national title took it of a Rotary no Nissan in sight  ::) ::) not bad for an old taxi engine  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.
Rev Head Chick have a look in General Technical about 12 posts down under heading "GETTING BLOWN" for my new 144 B&M set up .......FC427......

FC427 where is the proof  ??? I bet it could not be driven on the street though and would destruct very quicky whereby a 1j 2.5 or a rb 2.5 could be run over and over....and over...... I had excactly same thought as Hoon ,must have been a 1/8 mile.

If it was a blue with all the aftermarker heads and everything else u can buy for them, it doesnt look much like a holden anymore. What car was it in? Are u sure it was 7.7, must be over 1000hp or something cos evert .5 seconds under 8.5 ius very hard to achieve.

Your nearly as funny as Hoon  ;D ;D ;D 1/8 mile  ;D ;D ;D I was at the start line when Joe ran the 7second pass and then backed it up two more times to clam the National title if you are a disbeliever check the ANDRA records ......Rigoli and Ramsey  is working on an RB set up with almost 50 Lbs of boost to go in it should make 1500 HP + easy ;D ;D  but just lets compare Apples with Apples and remember how old the Holden 6 technology is and what an achievement it is to run a Holden 6 in to the 7 second zone .......FC427.......

its good to see i can cause a stir, ive brought out the rev heads out in all of you...keep it up...lol.. :) :) ;)

[ratbox]

what FC427 talks about IS real and WAS run over a quarter mile, you'se may not be to familliar with what happens on a drag strip being jap engine enthooziasts you may be more up on the driffting scene ;) :D

This is a methanol motor and hardly a holden part left on it  :D. im talking about cars doing good times with something that will pass for a street legal car. Anyway, Im not really a fanm of this or that motor, i think it depends on what you are building. fastest isnt always best.

[FCRB26]

I have seen a FC wagon 202 turbo,d a few years ago and that was the nicest sound i have ever heard i ran a high tem from memory but i thought you would be pushing to do a 7

Even the rails running blue sixes werent going that hard.



Im all for any engine i just like the reliability and smooth no fart cold running of a jap motor...



Settle petals beats walking...

Rev Head Chick specifically asked for information and pictures on Supercharging a 149 Holden 6 and you have not contributed nothing but bull shit whats your point  ??? ??? ??? ???....FC427......

Fc 427 she didnt seem to mind, but I take your point  :). perhaps our bullshit sessions belong in the shed  :D

[dianne]

woooahhhhh i didnt realise my question would cause such a stir, im so flattered that you guys have got into it and debated about it..thats what a forum is all about... :) ;)....thanks  xxxx

Dianne, have you thought about what compression ratio and fuel you will be running, i.e will you be running high octane unleaded or additives? I would be interested if anyone on here has a bit of a table of what compression ratios work with what level of pressures/ boost whatever u wanna call it etc?

[dianne]

i just wanna run it on the street and still be able to give it a squirt now and then, it will be on unleaded and the valve stem seals will be done to take unleaded with no additives. As for compression it will be 8 to 1 compression high induction intake (hopefully im right). Basically its gonna be a 149 block with a 179 hp head on top if that works.
