There was an article in MG World magazine (Aug/Sep 98) about supercharging an MGA. Not exactly the same thing, but the info might be good background material. The car uses a Judson supercharger. --St

Many years ago, my slightly-warped older brother acquired a '59 Morris Traveller panel that was rusting away in a farmer's field. Since the original 948 was less than stellar, he acquired a 1275 from

Remember though - somewhere around '73 or '74, MG started quoting their cars using the Brake HorsePower system. The BHP system rates the engine output at the drive wheels. Before they switched to BH

But a supercharger would not be the most $-effective way to get back your lost 20HP. Manifold, exhaust, teeny headwork and an uprated cam will give you that easily. It will cost you less than the mod

Don't be too discouraged.. All you need is a nice engine, not a super-duper one - as long as you don't try and crank too much HP out of it. That is what boost control is all about! Mike

I'll stand by my original statement(s). And not just in the case of supercharging an engine. ANYTIME you up the HP output on ANY engine, it needs to be strengthened. And I will do that even with a c
