nice brakes.
work around holdens all day hsv's are an ss with a bodykit (biased i know).
congrats with the hsv purchase.
keep in mind that most of the hsv's that come in for a service has had 22+ ltr per 100k's.
but you might be leaving the car in the shed when the 1u is done. |

Yeah maybe. mine will be keeping the Aircon aswell so its a bit more tricky but i'm sure if people start asking Neil maybe he'll start putting some together so it's alot easier for other people to TT their V8's in future |

Josh I might be making new turbo manifolds. If I do I will let you know a price for mine. They are bolt on and miss everything.
I have done away with aircon now so if these manifolds can't flow 900hp I will make new ones. |

Has anyone looked at a kenne bell Liquid cooled supercharger?
2.8Litre
After lots of waiting and change after change i'm looking at scrapping the Twin Turbo idea and getting a big blower for the simplicity |

Would that charger run on its own water to air cooling system with an electric pump? |

I believe that's the idea. It pumps water around the supercharger shell to cool it |

It will have a biscuit inside the manifold , like a cooler core .
Handy for keeping temps consistent . |

So it looks like the Kenne bell blower running 15PSI and supporting mods and good possibility that it'll also be T56 manual behind it |

Kenne Bell will not sell the blowers on their own, friend of mine has been through it with them, even tried going through a recognised dealer in Mustangs, still no deal. Good luck if you can get one.
The case is actually liquid cooled, rather than going through a tube and fin cooler. |

Ahh that new a model ... Nice blowers .
Have you tried contacting any ford performance shops here who deal with Kenne Bell ? Try Blue Power in vic , or Xft tuning in Perth .
Or even Rob Herrod @ Herrod Motorsport in vic . Worth a shot |

I think those water cooled blowers are total and utter wank, better off with water injection.
pick up a ford motorsport TVS2300 out of the USA and just get a bullet manifold and custom plate. |

If you were to feel how hot my blower case gets, you would consider putting one of these blowers on, any thing to help keep things cooler. |

you will NEVER get the blower case below engine temp while it's bolted to the motor, run a TRD thermostat and you will get more of a drop!
This would be my suggestion:

Mmm that blower seems alright Allan. I'm looking at doing something that's Different and simply put ridiculous lol. Only Way to get a hold of a Kenne Bell liquid cooled blower is to buy a kit which i've found a kit for a camaro going for $5,000 which is alot but i am willing to pay extra to be a bit unique |

I have seen a Whipple 3.3 litre fitted to a Celsior, my Whipple is a 2.3 litre, so there really should not be to big a problem fitting a TVS 2300. |

there is such a thing as too big... will end up with a MASSIVE pulley on the end of the blower |

2.8 would be the better size, if you could get one. |

Josh is running a forged engine tho, capable of high boost.
Get the big one IMO. |
