Smog pump supercharger

Can you use that steel plate to make a blast shield for the front of the block?
You know...just in case?

Belt from the old PA panzer was a direct fit!

Ohh I’ve been thinking about blast shields

I gave up on the forced induction idea, about 10 years ago when a chain broke at about 40 MPH and a Tecumseh 7 horse rod came apart in spectacular fashion.
Someone tried to tell me that old tractor wasn't meant to go that fast.
Have fun and be safe, my friend.

Ok so it also hit me that mounting an alternator (at least to an I/C 5hp) is probably just as easy as mounting this pump.

 

[Thepaetsguy]

You know when you lift the hood of a truck and there 7 ring terminals on the positive terminal clamp bolt??

That’s that this intake is about to look like but with 1/4 fittings.. drill/tap
primer cap
boost gauge
wastegate

I’m contemplating skipping the boost gauge. Honestly don’t care if it makes extra power. I just want it to run right enough. I plan to weld together another no bend mini bike this engine needs to go on it..

 

[Thepaetsguy]

I’m about to go grab a junk shroud and start figuring that out. Even if I have to square slot the shroud and put grommets for the belt to pass through. I hope I can just keep the pullstart.

 

[Thepaetsguy]

I have to trim just a bit more from that top slot I do get to keep the pullstart..

I couldn’t cut up a clean I/C 5hp red shroud.

 

[Thepaetsguy]

Over on the gokart forum I was told to mix a bit of oil into the gas to help the pump.

Noted

 

[Thepaetsguy]

I figure stuff out eventually... Justin W did not typo in his YouTube video description he actually did use a gm smog pump specifically from a 396..

His pump had three ports sticking out of the back instead of two like my pump. Before I went with an intercooler I would have just blocked the furthest pump outlet and made it a two port.

Gahhh custom intake it is I am having a hard time getting the right bends for the hose.

 

[sparkwizard]

PVC pipe? Sink drain elbows are really tight. Some are chrome plated brass. They use telfon, or nylon compression gaskets.
1 1/4 and 1 1/2.
Most parts stores have a WALL of radiator hoses and heater hoses with different twists and bends. You could aske them to let you go back there and look. Buy hoses, cut out what you need, put the rest in the project bucket.

I already setup a convoluted not simple intake but just hated the look of it... ripped it all back apart.

I’m now welding in intake that drops down and will use one small 90* elbow to connect the two pieces together. As I said above I do figure out stuff eventually.. Looking at the intake I had I just sighed and said I can do simpler then that.

 

[Thepaetsguy]

Here is what I have to make.. Flange bolts to the intake port and a tube drops straight down. Two small pieces of flextube. Keeping it short and compact as possible (I hope)

 

[Thepaetsguy]

This intake is kicking my behind everything else was so simple... It’s looking a lot like I’m going to need a pipe bender.. I can drive around all day and ask (people around here are not the most helpful at times) or figure something else out. I honestly don‘t know at this point. not giving up. Hardware is closed and I’m out of options at the minute.

Over on the gokart forum I was told to mix a bit of oil into the gas to help the pump.

How would any of the oil mixed into the gas make it into the internals of the pump?

 

[sparkwizard]

Air will be drawn through the carb, then to the pump, then into the engine.

I was assuming it would be plumbed with the compressed air before the carburetor like this.



Yeah, diagram is a turbocharger not a supercharger.

I can’t do a blow through setup as i cannot seal the carb in a box even if I tried that’s wayyy above me. As sparkwizard posted it is a draw through pump.
