Supercharging a 235

Another RO34 Wade Blower

Guys - go and buy issue 2 of Chopped go to www.chopped.com.au as this 54 is featured in the mag.

 

Still putting it together hope to have it running by the end of August.

 

Oooooooooh......Shiny! That's an awesome setup. Are ya gonna put Velocity Stacks on that thing? -Just kidding.

 

Is that an old hunter Performance manifold?

 

I feel a future tech week post in the making! Very cool set-ups indeed.

 

The manifold came from Dick Larrow in Oregon.

 

Shiney indeed.

Blower-ified.

 

I believe they are from the same pattern - neither source makes them anymore

 

that's a cool looking setup you have there, I recently purchased one of these pumps from eBay and have been trying to work out what i have, the one i bought looks to be the same as yours, so at least now i kinda know what i have.I am still setting it up so i hope it looks as good as yours when finished.
I started out with an Eaton m90 on a Holden inline six but after seeing the b&m on eBay i decided that that's the pump i wanted.
here is the engine with the old m90 setup and a couple of pics of the b&m i purchased, it would be good to confirm that the b&m i have is a 152.
cheers barnsey.

Barnsy:

I love the things you Aussies do with those Holdens. If you ever want to sell that Eaton setup let me know. What Boost numbers are you looking for? Keep us posted on your project.

 

I thought Larrowe & Sons were producing that manifold again.

 

I thought theirs was for the later model sixes rather than the 235. Either way, there are some sweet motors on here!

 

That could be too.

 

well my .02 cents is that an electric supercharger is 100 bucks on ebay! haha i actually got one for free from a friend and put it on my 55 3200 235. didnt work for shit! oh well it was still fun to say it had a supercharger. plus when you turned it on it would wrap up and sounded cool. anyways.....

Anybody got any pics of any crank mounted blowers on a 235?

 

Started the blown 235 last week. After some minor distributor installation, belt tension settings, fuel leak problems, she now starts and runs perfect. I haven't pushed the blower past 3 pounds yet but damn it sounds strong. Next step is finishing the drive line. Hopefully the chasis will be drivable in the next couple of months.
