Looks pretty good. What engine mods have you done and who manufactured the SC? What's the expected HP?

The engine management system is an SDS, crank triggered ignition(spark module on passenger wheelwell). Ignition is variable on boost(will retard). The injectors are 19lb/hr Ford(also variable on boost). I did head work to lower compression ratio to 8.2. Everything rotating is balanced. I am starting with all stock parts(see what happens)I will be running 7psi boost which should give approx 150HP. The supercharger is an Ogura Clutch model TX07, being overdriven 1.7.

I'm interested in seeing how the hell all that stuff is going to fit in the front of a Fiat!! Can't wait to see the finished pics.

150 Horsepower is great. But it looks like it has over 400 Horsepower, thats what counts when you open the hood :shock:

So Hal, are you lowering the car onto the motor and trans, or lowering the motor and trans into the car?

I will be taking the engine and trans back apart and putting the engine in from the top and the trans from the bottom.

hey Hal
Frankenspider. Its alive.

You said you did head work to lower cr to 8.2
Did you use a different lower end than the FI 2.0? CR on the FI. Is normally 8.1.
How did you settle on ford 19lb. Injectors over the standard 17 for the spider. are they more compatible with your computer system? Just doesn't seem like a big jump that's all.

Very nice and can't wait for a youtube video of it starting.

Everything is different than a FI 2.0, its a 1608.
