Ancillary Components

Vehicle performance can be enhanced in many different ways; sometimes absolute power is not the only goal, it must be tempered with reliability. High revving engines can overtax the alternator or dynamo; the larger pulley will slow things down nicely but will require a longer fan belt. Alternators can provide more power than dynamos but you will need the special bracket to attach the rear to the block, we also offer a heavy duty alloy version of this bracket. Modified engines need a steady supply of oil at suitable pressure, an uprated spring will boost the pressure at which the oil blows back into the sump and the ball valve is less prone to sticking than the standard valve. Fine control of this blow off pressure can be attained with the adjustable oil pressure regulator kit, this allows fingertip adjustment whilst the engine is running, watch out for the hot exhaust! It is always nice to know when a problem is approaching so why not fit the low oil pressure switch, it cuts in at 20psi and can be wired in to a nice large warning lamp to catch your attention.
