But it generates enough extra heat to be a potential problem. I'm considering supercharging my SVX engine eventually, but for several reasons will go the Sprintex (a belt-driven unit) route. No complex exhaust plumbing, no incandescent heat production, no real need for an ignition run-on function. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut |
