hi everyone, great site, great info.

Could someone please tell me if a suck through supercharger setup can be changed to become a blow through intercooled setup.

i have a jonspeed kit and am in the stage of making everything sweet before i put it on, but i am wondering if i should make it blow through so i can inter cool it or just leave it as a suck through setup?

thanks in advance!

With or without the charger ? With the charger you'll need a grey diaphragm in there.

yea, with the charger. grey diaphragm, ok. cheers for that. much appreciated.

Another thing, haha, sorry. What do i do about some of the breather points on the engine? for example the breather near the heater tap is going to be in the way of the pipe running from the charger to the carb. do i just block it off?( well it breathe enough then?) And what psi facet fuel pump is the best to use?

thanks a lot.

A suck through set up is just like a bigger engine as far as the carb is concerned. SU float valve's operate at 3psi.

Crankcase ventilation is always good, at the very least replace the can with a hose running to a catch tank.

Put a decent sized breather in the rocker box to a catch tank if you're losing the cannister.
