Terry King knows his Holdens. Title: Re: good engine shop for supercharged red motor wo Post by: Dr_Terry on April 30, 2005, 05:23:52 AM Hi Guys.
Gotta agree with Ed, I've used Terry King for years, he knows his Holdens, especially the Grey ones. Dr Terry Title: Re: good engine shop for supercharged red motor wo Post by: NO NAME on May 01, 2005, 06:30:52 AM I rang around this morning to get some quotes. I spoke to terry but decided to go with another guy due to price, I might use terry for my other FC wagon wich will be a grey with triples as it is hard to find shops with grey motor performance knowledge now.
The place I am going through was recomended by a user on the www.dragster.com.au forum who had his motor built by this shop. The guy at the shop claims to have built 3 of the red 6's for the currently running red 6 powered rail cars, the guy that recomended him had a red 6 built by him with a GM 6/71 blower and it is running in the high 8's wich is pretty quick for a 6 even if it is in a rail car. only problem is he is further away being at cambletown. After speaking to Terry I am now wondering if I should go with the blue crank or use a red 202 or 179 crank. The 3.3 blue crank is smoother with its counter weights and will probably give a longer life but its heavier weight will slow its revs and cost a few hundred bucks to machine. The red 202 crank will not be as smooth but with less weight it will rev quicker and still will cost a few hundred bucks too machine. The red 179 crank will rev quicker than the counter weight crank and give higher rpm but lose power with the smaller capacity, also I am going to be limited with rpm as the blower should only rev to 10000 rpm meaning if it is running at only 2:1 the blower will have reached its max safe rpm at 5000 rpm engine speed, therfore I wont be able to benefit from the higher rpm but it would save a few hundred bucks in machining that could be spent somewere else. I am kind of leaning towards a red 202 crank wich will mean my motor isn't really anything over a red 202 except for the hp marking on the side. Man its expensive now to do these motors up.

Title: Re: good engine shop for supercharged red motor wo Post by: jaunt on May 12, 2005, 01:05:51 PM I just brought a 1G 6 cyl super charger on e bay for $350. CRS wanted $1950 + freight for a complete kit, for a red motor. For much less than $1600, I will have one extra cool car.
Title: Re: good engine shop for supercharged red motor wo Post by: NO NAME on May 13, 2005, 10:58:02 AM thats the same as what I have, some people mistake it for the sc12 of the 4agze 4 cyl.
I have been trying to get prices for the parts in the kit individually, he wont split it so stuff em, I will make up what ever brackets and stuff I can and have the rest made locally. I will put up some pics as I set it up to. Title: Re: good engine shop for supercharged red motor wo Post by: jaunt on May 15, 2005, 12:06:26 PM Good on ya Fccool, I also say stuff them also. They think that there kit parts are gold platted. I will also do this job myself and with help from my fellow members.
With there own parts list and pictures in there super charger section. ;D |
