diy intercooled supercharger conversion

* * *

“This is the best modification I could have done for this car, and still keep it streetable. The increase in the fun factor is exponential.” — Doug McConnell, CA [1275 MG Midget w/supercharger cam]

“My car came with the engine in a basket. While building the motor, the supercharger mounts were fabricated, the supercharger fitted, and the serpentine belt drive installed. With the motor out, the VW radiator and Audi intercooler were installed. The car was then driven for about 150 miles while the ducting for the supercharger was fabricated and fitted. 

“The whole project took most of eight months, evenings and weekends, including about 4 weeks of delay waiting for parts. I estimate around 200 hours labor, and $2000 out of pocket. I could have reduced the hours a bit, but I used a surge tank mounted fuel pump, and suffered a few “false starts” getting the plumbing worked out.

“All in all, the project went really well, thanks to all of Joel's development work. His proprietary parts, installation instructions and customer support are simply first class!” — Jim Christian, CO [1973 1275cc Midget]

“I can’t fault Joel and Creative Spridgets one bit. He has a fantastic knowledge and his Supercharger with Intercooler kit really demonstrates this. Its not totally straight forward and you need some engineering skills but Joel is so helpful and really wants to help it’s been brilliant doing this project.

“The parts he supplies are real top quality (not a DIY feel or cheap import) and I’m surprised if he makes any profit on them… [Joel] just supplies the parts you REALLY need and can’t make or find as a single DIY car enthusiast in your garage. He’s totally committed to the project and wants to continue to perfect it.”

—Nick Goodall, Edinburgh, Scotland [Mark IV Austin Healey Sprite]

“I have upgraded from 1.5” to 1.75” carb. That carb adapter is super. My only complaint about the new shiny part, is once it is installed you can't see that beautiful finish.” —R.K. Yonder, OH [1275cc Midget]

“The brake upgrade to my Vintage racer was GREAT! Most notable upgrade to my race car. Ran at VIR 3 weeks ago and I was able to go deeper, stop later and straighter. I have Tilton brake masters, so brake bias was right.” —Dan Dougherty. Powder Springs, GA [racing-spec Bugeye Sprite]

“I am amazed at the quality of your brackets, and how exacting and precise your directions were for installation.” —Matt. Lake Stevens, WA [1500cc Midget]

"Looks great!" --Erick. Columbus, OH. [SCCA racing-spec 1275cc MG Midget]

*     *     *

"We had our first race of the season on Saturday and the rear discs worked well . . . the front to back balance was very good even without a bias valve, but I do use much bigger front discs, calipers and pad area." --Simon. St. Albans, UK. [racing spec Sebring Sprite]

*     *    *

"Everything went together really slick . . . Thanks for all of your help.  Your brackets worked great." --Leo. Lee's Summit, MO. [Bugeye Sprite]

*     *     *

"The brackets for mounting Sentra disc brakes to the Spridget (and Morris) came today.  They are fantastic, probably the nicest looking parts to go on the whole car!"  --Gene.  Santa Margarita, CA. [1275cc MG Midget, Morris Minor]

*     *     *

"I have American Racing 13" Spectres no fit problems . . . very happy with the quality of the adapter plates." --Coco.  Corapeake, NC [1275cc MG Midget]

"My parts just arrived and look fantastic, I will put them on as soon as I can."  --Jamie.  Kamloops, British Columbia [MG Midget 1275cc, Rostyle wheels]

"Great looking. Fast delivery. They will work great on a street midget ..."  --Ross.  Lakeland, FL [MG Midget 1275cc, alloy minilites]

"I highly recommend the Creative Spridgets brackets. Very well manufactured and easy instructions." --Jeff.  West Bloomfield, MI [MG Midget 1275cc, alloy minilites]

*     *     *

"The brackets turned up four days ago and they are even more beautiful in the 'flesh' than on-screen. The finish is excellent and they are a pleasure to handle." --Roger.  Melbourne, Australia [MG Midget 1275cc, wire wheels]

*     *     *

"I do notice better braking with the rear discs as opposed to the 7" drums.  The pedal is firm and takes very little effort.  The brakes are also easy to modulate."  --Charlie.  Magee, MS [Morris Minor, four-wheel Nissan Sentra disc brake conversion, with custom owner-designed front brackets]

"Thanks for all the help . . . the units fit and look great." --David.  Fort Worth, TX. [MG Midget 1275cc, wire wheels]
