Ben64tr4 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hello, This is my first post. I purchased the car a few months ago. The po had restored most of it over the past few years. It ran ok, but I was having some carb trouble. I decided to order the moss kit. It took me 2 days to install everything .I did the radiator, electric fan,supercharger, fuel pump, plugs, wires, coil,tubed header,and a few others. The install was very smooth. The car started right up and idles beautifully. To anyone considering the kit, if you have basic wrenches and a pry bar you can do it. Ill post again once I've driven it to compare power. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianhoward Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Looks interesting Ben! Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ben, Congratulations - neat installation. I think you'll be surprised by the improved performance. The most rewarding way of spending two days in the garage in my opinion. There's space on my blog should you want to record your observations on the installation, photos. etc Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superaquarama Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Am I right in thinking, though, that superchargers can only be fitted to lhd cars ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Am I right in thinking, though, that superchargers can only be fitted to lhd cars ? There may be minor changes needed - the air filter and the servo capsule for the bypass.

Superaquarama Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Belated thanks, Peter, useful to know it's possible with rhd cars. Back in the early '70s a colleague ran a supercharged Cortina GT Mk 1, went like the clappers and probably faster than a Lotus Cortina, but he blew it up after a few months, ended up dropping in a crossflow engine and selling the supercharger. It was also very thirsty but that was due to how he drove it, probably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Less heat, mechanically much more robust. And a true comparison is how many over-reved Cortina GTs blew up ! With an informed owner there's no reason why a s/c TR should not last as long as a standard engine. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
