Re: Old School Meets New - Supercharged LSA into Grand Natio
Sorry about the lack of photos - I exceeded the bandwidth for my cheap (but generally OK) site for the month, won't show again until 1Feb. I should have some good progress to show, if I can finish my honey-dos!

Been porting and cleaning up the engine bay.
Set up a porting station in the basement:
Here's the snout I just finished - needs final cleaning:
From the rear:
Tomorrow I will start porting the blower itself.

Should have posted a "Before" picture of the snout before I attacked it:
Pretty congested in there!
Here's the stock blower casing:
Lots of stuff the air has to go around to reach the intake ports.
Here's my first cut on part of one side:
I am going to do minimal cutting with the carbide grinder in this tight space, then do all the medium and finish work with sanding drums on a flexshaft grinder. The electric grinder/carbide bit combo is too dangerous to get into those tighter areas - it will bite - scares the hell out of me. The sanding drum is way slower but if it jumps in your lap you only have to wear a Band-Aid, not pee through a tube the rest of your life

Let me know if you decide to let it go I may be interested.

I don't think anyone will miss the old motor with this in its place.
