    Default charger on/off (any sugestions)

    this is a hard to word what i wanna say, but is there any way i can disconect the charger or fit a boost control or something so its easy to use a switch to turn the pully on and off as i please, as evry one who has a charged commy knows they drink. 14 litres per 100 clicks is hefty and i wanna use the power as i please. (edited bcoz maybei this wording makes more sense)

    what?

    anyway, I think what the guy wants to do (I don't speak stoned bogan very well) is put a clutched pulley on the supercharger, so he can engage, and disengage it as he needs/wants.

    which wont work because its a positive displacement blower... aswell as the most pst a clutched setup can hold is something like 8psi and wont fit an eaton..

    ah yup, that would be true.

    perhaps he should "upgrade" to an SC14

    this is why superchargers shouldnt be put on cars from factory. turbos are very different from a supercharger. why dont you go buy a VL and dose down chapel street instead

    The supercharged cars are fitted with a fuel/power control feature from the factory. It's located just to the right of the brake pedal, usually just under your right foot.

    If you don't want to use as much fuel or ram as much air into the engine, you should set the fuel/power control valve to the lightest setting when you're accelerating.

    if you have the car modified at all, and have just bought 'a memcal', you should consider a proper dyno tune to suit your modifications, as this could improve your fuel economy significantly.

    If it is a factory (L67) S/C, there is already a 'cut out' feature included from the factory. At the rear of the S/C is a butterfly valve (like a throttle plate) that at low engine loads allows air to bypass the S/C. The S/C then freewheels and only a very small amount of power is needed to drive it - overcoming bearing friction etc..
