Smog pump supercharger

[sparkwizard]

I can get you an ammo can, almost any size you want (Camp Lejeune). Cut a hole in the box, bolt the box between two gaskets on the intake, now carb is inside box. Close the air tight lid. Pressurize the box. The bad part of doing it like this is the carb adjustments are inside the box.

If you want an ammo can, just say so.

By the way I messed around and found out!

But not in a bad way just annoying the intercooler is needed to get easier bends for the intake tube. I’m still clueless as to how I will do this myself without a log manifold going straight up and down.

Walk away for a day. The solution will come to you. I already suggested pre bent heater hoses.
It would look like a hose clamp farm, but you could do it.

Now I wonder if I can unscrew the fitting in it and screw a 90* back in it’s place.

 

[Thepaetsguy]

The outlets are pressed into the pump and non removable.. I pretty much have it figured out. Not the happiest with it but it doesn't involve a log manifold.

And it’s the shortest easiest path I can make from the pump outlet to the intake port. I had to flip the pump. Don’t like that either but I’ve gotten to this point so I’m rolling with it.

I pinched my side working in this thing it screwed me up.. don’t know what’s wrong or what I did but under my right ribs there is something super wrong. i’ll give it a day then off to the doctors.. (I’m terrified of them)

I've been following your progress on the supercharger. You sure have everyone's interest.
Hope that you feel better soon.
Thank you for keeping us advised.

Pinched a nerve and I need to cut back on caffeine. Actually a whole lot is about to change for the better.

I have not ordered a pwk or found the pieces to make the exhaust.

The belt I have could be an inch shorter to help raise the pulley away from the ground just a little more. Everything but the pump needs completely disassembled and cleaned painted..

I don’t know if I want to throw all the go fast parts in it or just get a super stock enduro rod and use a 3hp flywheel.
I might need a pump pulley youtube: mgb smog pump test shows only 3lbs at higher rpms

I’m going to have to cut the flange off that intake tube. put one of those double clamp boots on each end and clamp one end to the pump inlet and the carburetor will clamp into the other end.

I can’t find an adapter reducer long enough so this is what I’ve come up with.

 

[Thepaetsguy]

New plan and parts for testing ordered will be here the 2nd the parts ordered where a pwk 21-28mm adapter boot and a vm22 intake pipe.

While I’m waiting on that I’ll grab a belt and start cleaning/paint

 

[Thepaetsguy]

Ok new new plan... The whole thing fell together in an instant when I had an idea I did not even think would work... All I need is a 24mm carburetor from eBay to finish the whole thing... while I’m waiting for the 24mm clean/paint.. I’m actually pretty happy with the way the intake came out. Short and simple.

 

[Thepaetsguy]

These people already did it and figured out everything I have wanted to know.

Then figured out ways to do it better.. Smallest huffer I have ever seen..

 

[Thepaetsguy]

See it’s 4AM and I have been up since 5... I hyper asphyxiate on my hobbies and that’s probably not the best thing...

If this little pump works and produces any kind of boost I plan to do whatever it takes to replace the v-belt pulleys with cog belt pulleys.

Cog belt pulley welded straight to the pump driveshaft and a cog belt pulley welded to a raptor starter nut.

 

[Thepaetsguy]

A belt and a pwk 24mm is all that’s left

How about you spin that pump without the engine running, cap the outlet and see if it is capable of making any pressure?
They were air movers, but not sealed very well internally.

I just sold the drill press and off the top of my head have nothing on hand to spin it up with.

How is your side feeling? I've been meaning to ask.

How is your side feeling? I've been meaning to ask.

Heck ya thanks for asking! It‘s much better! I’m drinking a lot more water instead of sucking down caffeine and that alone made things clearer. I‘m hoping it also is gonna help me start sleeping better. I suck down enough caffeine to stay up all night sleep from 10am to 3pm then stay up till 10am that’s not gonna work anymore.

 

[sparkwizard]

That sounds like a plan. Take care of yourself and feel better!
