Long gloves :p

Hahahahaha..... Man that's way out of my league :wacky:

It's not about proving you wrong, Dougal, as I don't see the point in trying to do that, I know your right. This is about having fun, making something. But you're right again, I am persistent. As per the Audi, it's taken me a month to plant the seed in my wife's head so she "thinks" it was her...

I have every intention of doing just that :D

@gerg , to me it's about having some fun, playing around, thinking about how to do something. But it would be nice if people would actually give me a chance rather than telling me what I am going to do, without actually knowing who I am. The work I do will not be posted this afternoon, but...

The other problem I see here, is you... When I say you, it's the fact you are the main one telling everyone, and I think with some people it is an issue they seem to have with you. Sort of like a personal challenge to prove you wrong, because you are so clearly just another internet expert. To...

Hhmmmmmmm.... Need to sort pennies out

Oh and before anyone mentions it, I did not design turbomachinery, just had to get involved with it on the last project I worked on. You've got to be a very special kind of nerd to do that job. :confused:

OK, first things first. Dougal, I have read your posts, regarding turbo-superchargers vs mechanical superchargers. And I completely agree with you. This is not why I'm doing it this way. The project I have decided to do is try both, do a real world comparison and post the results here for...

Yeah a lot to think about, but it'll be fun ;)

Found plenty of stuff, lots of food for thought. Will certainly post a build thread for it. Although It will be separate to my HJ60 build.

Well I think I've found my new project, just need to finish moving house first ;)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll have a good look ;)

Given no one has supercharged a land cruiser it's difficult to get any suitable comparison. From my understanding, turbos are cheaper in every way compared to superchargers. But I do still think it's worth exploring, if one can be produced that compares cost wise with a turbo. Besides, just...

5000 bucks, just does not compare with the turbo alternatives. As per parasitic loss, it's no more than you'd get from an A/C pump.
