Title: Norman Superchargers Post by: NZHumpie on May 13, 2006, 08:18:50 AM Gday Guys, just wondered if you know where are all these N/Superchargers hiding, or are they not for sale, thought I might need something like that for the standered 138 or am I better of with a 202, any thought
Title: Re: Norman Superchargers Post by: fccool59 on May 13, 2006, 09:00:12 AM they are only suitable if you want to pay big bucks for authenticity, by time you find one and have it rebuilt and then fit it up you would be looking at more than the cost of fitting a v8, if you just want a small supercharger to suit a grey a sc14 toyota supercharger should give you all you need.

Seriously tho, if you found a Norman here in Oz, I doubt the seller would be able to "legally" send it to NZ. Under "The Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage Act 1986" the seller would have to apply for a government permit to export it, as Eldreds gear now officially falls into this catergory. Only 1 permit has been granted since then, and that was for temporary export only(for exhibitions) They're out there, it's just a matter of finding somebody willing to part with it. I wouldn't sell mine, no matter how much cash I was offered Cheers Tony Title: Re: Norman Superchargers Post by: NES304 on May 14, 2006, 10:52:48 AM was this a supercharger built for the grey?
Has anyone whacked a turbo on a grey with any luck? Title: Re: Norman Superchargers Post by: TorqueFC on May 14, 2006, 10:55:19 AM turbo charged grey has been done, just a matter of getting manifolds made . 8) 8)

grey motors have fairly low comps so turbo's are an ideal boost to performance(pardon the pun),you will need the head done up with oversize valves ,crank supports also needed to handle the extra ponies and revs,stronger pushrods ,better ignition system,how far do you want to go? but a low boost turbo and strong engine rebuild should give you a very nice power increase with reasonable reliability. cheers Nick |
