Twin charged Ford F1 pick up 606,603 pump.
Hi there,my name is Trevor and I am from the south of England.I came across this site after building my truck and thought it may be of interest out there.So here goes .Started with a 48 Ford with 49 Merc flattie and stock axles etc. Fitted 606 from a 98 W210 and pump from 603 turbo.Has the 6mm elements swapped etc.and set up on pump rig.Injectors shimmed for a bit more pressure.Turbo converted to pressure operated poppet valve.5 speed box and flywheel from C250TD and auto 2 piece prop.Huge Cosworth RS500 intercooler and all hard pipes.Remote twin oil filters and cooler.Set up at 10psi at moment. Hiedts Mustang 2 based front end and power rack etc. Ford 9" axle and 5 link rear on coil overs. Land Rover Discovery pedal box. And the blower, M62. ..........Designed to blow into turbo intake on low RPM.But doesn't make enough boost to help.1-2 psi just off idle! So am looking into a smaller pulley set up which is still early days,(ANY IDEAS WELCOME) so there you go,this thing really flies and sounds awesome (3" open exhaust).Hope you like it if the pics are visible.If not http://s277.photobucket.com/user/trev040/library/
hmmm, my idea is bigger turbo
that truck is so sexy!
Edit: did a littl research, m62 pulleys all over the place! Google m62 supercharger pulleys and you will find everything you need to go to a faster setup
Oh damn, that's sexy.........
1st off it looks good. Love the truck. I think that you are not really able to make boost with the supercharger though by the pictures. You would need a bypass valve or reed plate to prevent the air from blowing out the turbo inlet pipe the wrong way. You could put a throttle actuator on there and have it activate with the supercharger clutch.
Oh also did you just flip the stock intake manifold over? You must have made an adapter plate for that. Great idea for fitment.

I found this on one of the Subaru forums some one who made a smaller clutched pulley for a similar supercharger setup

Hi,I did block the end off with a bypass valve,those pics bit out of date,I think it needs a smaller pulley from somewhere or something,the intake flipped straight over,just needed a few holes drilling and tapping,only one or two wouldn't line up,good enough for me !!

The problem is those superchargers are just to small. I used one early on and machined an alternator pulley to press on the bearing and then welded the drive to the pulley basically. It would make about 6lbs of boost but it was just spinning the supercharger to fast. Lots of heat and blew a few of them up.

The one on the Subaru video is still clutched
No. I just made it a fixed pulley. If you want a larger clutched supercharger get one off of a C32. That would be the right size for what you are trying to do.
(10-26-2013, 06:22 AM)Tito Nice ride! I love it. But in my opinion it needs a bigger turbo.

Nice build! The old Ford pickups are glamorous.
If you want power, you'll need to change both the supercharger and the stock turbo.
The original turbo's wastegate is vacuum controlled because it is open on light throttle to prevent high backpressure and to increase mpg. That alone tells you that the turbo is small, converting it to normal boost controlled means you'll got "enough" heat on the turbine side all the time. The turbo is good for around 200hp, no matter if you twin charge it because the turbine just won't flow more..
Also, if changing to a bigger turbo, make a proper exhaust manifold. In my experience, stock manifold won't limit power when under 400hp, but it slows down spool-up several hundred rpms.
Supercharger on OM606 needs to be big to make any sense. But since you are running 6mm elements, I see no point in supercharger whatsoever. 6mm elements won't get you to 300hp, and under that, a properly sized turbo will spool up quickly. Adding a supercharger makes things just more complex with arguable benefits. If not bypassed on high rpms, it also eats up power.

Have you throught about compounding by feeding the supercharger directly from the tubo? The pressure at the inlet of the supercharger provided by the turbo helps to offset the fall in efficiency of the supercharger as revs rise because as the supercharger inlet pressure rises it maintains a lower PR across the SC keeping seat down (somewhat).

that's the same methode that EDH used on his 190D
and that worked great.
I think thats the best way
IMO you shouln't squeeze even that with stock turbo! The factory setup gives 18psi on low revs but boost goes down to 11psi on revs. That is because of the tiny turbine housing making decent backpressure, and with increased fueling, the situation gets worse. It not about the boost gauge reading, it's about how much air is flowing through the engine. 12psi boost/14psi backpressure is much, much better than 15psi boost/30psi backpressure.
Get exhaust pressure (or temperature) gauge before blowing the engine. It's a bit different since you have supercharger, but all the exhaust is still going through the turbo.
