So I can see where it goes but what's it for? I thought compressed air got hot so you needed an intercooler not an interwarmer? Enlightenment required :-)
Hi Jason,
Me thinks it's a homemade item designed to allow the fitment of an 1 3/4" SU to the 1 1/2" SU manifold.
In the first photo you can see the 1 1/2" SU 2 x stud fixing hole arrangement, and in the second photo the 1 3/4" SU 4 x stud fixing hole arrangment.
For whatever reason they then fitted a water jacket arrangment around the flange.
Shirley it would have made more sense to cool the manifold after the supercharger...?
I think you're right, I can't understand why anyone would want to warm the air up - carb icing would not be a problem in a blower application.
