I don't see anything preventing that. An intercooled turbo setup could be used to feed the twin screw supercharger.

Mike has it right... When running 93 octane I will limit my built engine to 12psi via the pulley I have... when and if I feel some sort of injection (water or alchohol) is suitable I will have a larger crank pulley made to run at tops 18psi. Tom |

Far better to do what can be done to a level of excellence. It is good to see this work progressing in a realistic, considered and careful manner. My own Eaton blower has a higher tendency to heat than the Whipples, so I will be using water injection with mine, because I have to. I've my sights set on 9 lbs boost, which I hope will deliver 320+ hp in an idealised installation. I am more focused on the torque increase rather than the horsepower, both are welcome. I'm sticking with the auto, although most people going forced induction tend to want manual gearbox control. However, I am leaning stronger to changing the final drive gearing to 4.11 or maybe even 4.44. My brother has a manual Forester Turbo from Japan. Big turbo, it makes 240 hp or so. However, it always felt stronger than my 270 hp Legacy that had two sequential turbos. I put this down mostly to the lower gearing. Legacy was 4.11, Forester is 4.44. The high top ratio of the 4 EAT makes it road usable. Joe

The lead time on the valves was specified as 8 weeks when I ordered them. That has not changed to my knowledge.

well i ordered a set of Clevite bearings and NO dice... they only had .25mm over and .50mm over so I went with High Tech bearings... basically the same thing as Clevites and they are the only ones who carry std sizes. anyway I ordered them from partsamerica.com for a 1992 subaru legacy sport(turbo).
2 Main Bearing kits - Hi-Tech Engine Components: MS2062AL 2 conn rod bearing kits(not sold individually) - Hi-Tech Engine Components K1657AL4 Total of just about $200. Glad I got my ordered straightened out before it was too late... Just figured I would post for the rest of u guys tom |

I just checked partsamerica.com and you are right, the standard size clevite bearings aren't coming up. I'll post the part # for them when I dig them out.

Good Info.

I'd still like to do the ARP bolts and copper head gasket. Still considering closing or semi closing the deck as well. That will probably do it though.
