Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Avon CR6ZZ Tyres

   Thanks for email , I  understand that the tyres are not suitable for your requirements, as you say the Avon CR6ZZ are ideal for a Cobra .

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Superblower/CRS Front Griile Mount

« on: December 16, 2016, 15:40:58 »

Gary,
   The stiffener from memory is from flat sheet, maybe 3mm thick and about 12mm wide and follows the outer profile of the upper half of the grille. The tabs are either formed from the flat pattern then bent at 90 degrees or possibly formed separately and pop riveted to the stiffener and mesh. I recall some of the details as I refitted my grille earlier this year having ran my car for about five years with it removed as I preferred the open look ! It then occurred to me that painting the grille matt black may achieve a favoured appearance whilst affording the radiator some protection from the stones and debris encountered on the back roads of Worcestershire.
    If I get an opportunity during the Christmas break I will remove it and forward a picture or two to assist.

From memory there is a sheet metal stiffener which follows the top half of the oval grille, the three right angled tabs are formed as part of this item. The grille is mounted to this with pop rivets. The open edges of the grille have a split rubber moulding around the perimeter. The grille is then mounted at either side and at the top with threaded bolts, as you say anchor nuts or threaded sockets are welded to the tabs.

Gary,
   My Superblower is much the same, however the tabs incorporate a threaded socket to accommodate chrome dome headed bolts rather than self tappers.

Hi , My Haynes manual for the Ford Mustang 302 efi states 17-22 inches Hg at idle. My Superblower certainly idles in this range.

« on: November 07, 2015, 11:35:43 »

I fitted trigo 15" wheels on my superblower, very good value and had no issues at all.
   I am aware some members claim they had a brake clearance issue,however my car has the Peugeot and Bmw brakes and I encountered no problems whatsoever.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Electric cooling fan relay

« on: July 31, 2014, 14:53:42 »

Graham,
   
   Following your last post and further investigations, the other 20amp maxi blade fuse appears to be to the charging circuit. When it`s removed my ignition light illuminates.
   I have recently had an issue with my car where an error code indicated that the permanent live to my eec iv pcm was being interupted, it transpired that my car was wired incorrectly when built, the required permanent feed was switched to the ignition.
   During the course of my investigations I examined the control box behind the screenwash bottle, this like the fan on my car appears to be a standard Ford Mustang item, and is actually refered to in the mustang workshop manual as a "constant control relay module". It contains relays serving the fuel pump,pcm,and two for the cooling fan for both high and low outputs.
   I have not dismantled my unit but google images indicate that each of the two cooling fan relays are rated at 40amps.
   
   Regards
   
   Paul

Graham,
   
   For your information my `98 superblower has two fuses in the engine bay, 20 & 60 amp. Not yet sure what they serve however they are located on the bulkhead above the battery.
   The cooling fan relay appears to be part of a control box arrangement mounted in the front of the engine bay behind the screenwash bottle.
   Apologies for delayed reply , hope it is of assistance.
   
   Regards

Gary
   The scroll housing does indeed rotate.
   By all means give me a call if you want to discuss further.

Gary,
   
   As with Peter`s car my Superblower`s Powerdyne BD11 runs clockwise pulleyside, however the ebay view of the rear intake side showing the impellor would be running anticlockwise and sucking as required.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / MK 1V fuel pump access

« on: February 01, 2014, 13:27:57 »

Nick,
   The fuel pump is easily accessible, mine is mounted on the inside face of the offside chassis tube just in front of the diff housing.
   
   Have you checked the fuse? From memory it is the single fuse that is positioned between the back and middle bank of six.
   
   An issue I had with my car was an immobiliser fault which was not switching power to the pump, I wired a bypass until I could get the immobiliser sorted.
   
   Hope this helps,
   Best of Luck

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / MKiv ride heights

« on: September 06, 2013, 15:38:14 »

Graham,
   
   Last year I was playing with my Superblower`s suspension setup as I had always considered it too low at the rear, at that time I sought Thunder Road`s advice. Upon checking my notes I was advised as a starting point to set the ground clearance from the chassis crossmember to the ground at 4" front and 6" rear.
   
   Regards
