Supercharger - how long can it run constant?

[highiq]

1GGZE with modified s/charger pulley giving constant drive and reduced by 18% in diameter. New pulley belts, ignition leads, etc. Also have spare block and sump.

setup something similar to the factory where the SC is only on when manifold pressure is greater than ~ 5InHg.

im sure once you got moving on the beach above 40km/h, the load drop significantly

How hard is it to fit a diesel engine to a petrol car?

I always thought diesel engines were very $$$$ also.

I'm not sure, that's why I'm going to buy one that's already got that lovely turbo-diesel torquey pull in the engine bay lol. In all seriousness though, I suppose you'd have to get new fuel lines, new/washed out fuel tank, and some other diesel related ancillaries in the engine bay, to tell you the truth I can't ever really remember these 2L or 3L motors being advertised in the Trading Post or anything. Might go and dig around for some prices just out of curiosity though.

That sounds like a go-er, make the S/C work when you need it, then it can taper off once a consistent speed is reached.
