Opcon Autorotor WBX

Post by silverbulletbus »

Introducing my supercharged engine project to go in my 1990 T3 bus:

It's a "period" installation from the late '80s on a pretty-much standard MV but in desperate need of re-working to modern standards!
The compressor is an Opcon #2076 from what I can make out, should move enough air for ~240 bhp if I can make the rest of it hold together. I'm not quite sure how hard to boost it (crank pulley not original) as these compressors are very efficient from quite low rpm and really hang on up to max revs (18000). Likewise I really need some advice regarding cam selection, I really want it to be as clean and efficient as possible for daily road use here in the UK. Definitely going for twin water/air chargecoolers though, one each side and a somewhat bigger plenum as that thing on top is about 0.7 litres, should be more like 3 litres to let it breathe!
It's early days for this one, I'll keep you all posted as it progresses.
