A friend of my son is doing some fabrication for me. First thing he did was make intake pipes for the supercharger using the Mexican end castings

That guy can weld and the 'packaging' looks very neat, lots of thought on your part.
Well done

Hi

I’ve been spending a bit of time on my Oval.
Its now running a 1916 with a SC12 supercharger, Haltech Nexus2 ecu and drive by wire and a Flex fuel sensor to run E85.
Its running a 4-inch narrowed beam with Monroe air shocks and bags on the back

I had the Oval tuned the other day on a dyno at Tunesmith
Engine specifications
1916. Stock heads 110 Engle cam (not ideal for a supercharged motor) and 1.25 rockers, Vintage speed exhaust. 4 LS coils, Dubshop crankangle sensor and CB cam position sensor. Haltech Nexus 2 ecu. 485cc injectors with a 5th injector before the supercharger and drive by wire.
SC12 supercharger with custom pulleys.
Best 98 RON run was 98.5 kW or 132 hp at 5550 rpm and 80% throttle.
We then swapped to E85 and did a few power runs but a gasket leak at the inlet manifold prevented anymore power runs, but it still made 108kW or 145.6 hp at the wheels on 90% throttle.
The best thing about the drive by wire is that the throttle can be used to limit boost. The drive by wire is also used as a rev limiter, it rolls the throttle off near redline before a fuel cut
I'm using Mexican efi manifolds that were modified by Ben Wallker from Third Strike Fabrications
