Welcome to the new vmaxscart website , home of probably the worlds best supercharger kits for the 'a' series engine .


 Since 2004 (see miniworlds report of the L2B run) , I have been fitting the Eaton M45 supercharger to the classic mini , with over 220 kits and conversions sold I am probably  the world leader in 'a' series supercharging.

 My kits although copied by competitors  ,  have been continually updated and improved  giving you the most up to date developments ,best value for money and superior performance in all conditions .

 My manifolds are made in house ,Tig welded, and use 316 stainless steel  full bore bends .

Carburettor choices of SU, and Weber , or fully developed Emerald K6 based fuel injection options .

 Even if you are unfortunate enough to have bought from one of my competitiors I can almost certainly improve it !

What can be supercharged?

 

    Most A series can handle a bit more power , If  adding a supercharger to your current engine It must be in good condtion to handle the extra power . If you are building and engine decide on the power you want  to achieve and what use you want out of it , eg motorways , track days occasional fun etc . With the increased torque available you can usually pull a taller diff ratio without loosing any accelleration time . Straight cut gearboxes with close ratios are not ideal for road use as the gears are generally close ratios, better for road use with high torque figures are 'boxes with wider ratios. ultimately straight cut gears do handle more power. A 4 pin diff, minispares 2 core comp radiator , suitable fuel supply  are all essential . Forged pistons are definately  recomended on engines of 150bhp plus . keep Bore sizes small to increase reliabillty. Wrap manifolds to reduce heat transfer and keep underbonnet temps lower.

 Fuel injecting over carb /dizzy.  carburettor set ups mostly produce the same power  as the same size throttle body , gains with injection are being able to acurately measure fuel and time the ignition without relying on a mechanical input. Major gains are seen in  fuel economy and throttle proportions , these are  more precise /easier to adjust for , making it smoother  to drive . If you are using the carb /dizzy then always use a vacuum type distributor  to give the variable timing a road use engine requires for varying loads and conditions . 

 Cam shaft choices : aim for something milder than you would use in a non supercharged engine as the charger extends the range above and below its normal specification , wider lobe center angle is recomended to reduce fuel being wasted on overlap ,112 lca seems to work well . Supercharging works with everthing from standard to race profiles  , but in varying degrees.

Starting in 1987 at Avonbar racing  , and turbocharging my mini in 1989 , I left there to set up Vmaxracing in 1991 . We (myself and Mat Smith) where the premier 'a' series tuners in Surrey , modifying cylinders heads for most of the top 5 mini tuners , and even then boasted in house dyno facillaties .
