G'day all
My MM is supercharged at 15 PSI, Major brakes on front, 1000 rear end with 4.22:1 centre, alloys and all the other stuff required by VSB 14. Will post some pics when I learn how to.

Cheers Bob

G'day

Sounds interesting, I look forward to the pictures.
The standard MM has a claimed power of about 21kw, how much improvement do you get with the blower?

Cheers

Hi Graham

Standard MM claims 27.5 HP which is 20.5 Kw. When mine was set up on dyno it recorded 33.3 Kw. at 5000 rpm. I have had the motor up to 7000 RPM for a short bursts. However it goes a lot harder using a 4500 to 5000 limit due to the tremendous low down torque but mainly due to the fact that faster gear upchanges can be made at lower revs. The synchros at higher RPM are almost completely useless, requiring double declutching. This is painfully slow even with more than 2.5 Kg. removed from the flywheel.

Cheers Bob

Hi all
My quoted figure of 33.3 KW. was rear wheel Kw. This equates to just over 40 flywheel HP. Bit better than Mr. Nuffield's 27.5.

G'day again
My last post should have read 33.3 rear wheel Kw. which is a bit over 40 flywheel Kw. This equates to about 54 flywheel Hp. Not quite double Mr Nuffields 27.5.

Bob,
Would be nice to see some pictures and to hear a little more about the supercharger.

Hi Kel
Will post pics as soon as I learn how to. The blower is a roots pump made by Asian and is designated AMR 500 because it's displacement is 500 cc's per revolution. When driven at 1.936:1 times crank speed indicated boost is a bit over 15 PSI (a little over 1 bar) and results in 33.3 RW Kw @ 5000 RPM. I am doing a little experimenting at present and have reduced the drive ratio to 1.66:1 resulting in the boost dropping to 30.1 RW Kw. at 5000. This is not a proportionate drop and is what I am trying to understand. Even so 30.1 Kw. equates to 48.6 FW HP which is still pretty good.
Cheers Bob

G'day Bob

A very neat looking MM with a sting.
I am guessing that the internals of the engine are not quite as Mr Morris made them.

Cheers

Hi Graham
Not as much sting as your rotary. Internals as you said not what Mr. Morris used. Crank is stock standard. I knew of a couple of Morris 8 engined specials racing in the GEAR or classic events that were blown at 12 to 14 PSI and circulated all day at 7500 RPM. One was using standard rods. The biggest killer is the excessive weight of overbored pistons. I modified a Morris 8 with 2 mm. O/S bore and the JP piston, rings and pin weighed in at 260 grams compared to 200 for a standard pot with rings and pin! My rods are Argo CNC machined and shot peened from 4340 HT alloy steel with 17 mm. fully floating pins instead of standard 15 mm. pins. Fitted with ARP 2000 series rod bolts - the all up weight of one of these rods with cap and bolts is 479 grams as against 486 for standard rod, cap, bolts and nuts. Pistons are forged from 2618 aluminium alloy. The all up weight of one of these 3 mm. O/S pistons with rings, pins and circlips is 211 grams - just 11 more than standard and 49 less than JP's at 2 mm. O/S. The rest is textbook - porting, O/S valves, cam reprofiled, good balance, lightened flywheel. With the bottom end and pots like this if I were to have it normally aspirated with 11/4" SU's and a suitable cam and springs I would not hesitate to rev it to 8000 plus. However the low down grunt the blower gives it is a waste of time going much over 5 to 6 thousand RPM.
Cheers Bob

G'day Bob

Mine might have 3 times the sting but I bet you got a lot more satisfaction from your efforts to get nearly 100% increase in power , with the original engine.

Very well done and it looks good too.

Have you any pictures of the in side?

Cheers
Graham

Have only one pic so far of inside




Original clock, tacho, boost gauge, temp gauge and Redarc low coolant alarm. The siren operated by the Redarc is also operated by a low oil pressure switch which can be seen on the oil filter block.
Cheers Bob
