Looking to supercharge a Reliant Robin engine, can't find one on the internet but I know there have been a few turbo charged ones which will have similar mods, mainly lowering the compression ratio. Can anyone tell me which issues of PPC had the turbo'd Reliant Robin in? Any other info or links would be great too. Thanks, Phil

No idea of which mag it was in but assuming this is the one.....  built by someone involved with said mag i think? taken at Curborough, very much a WIP, along with this.....  ...as part of a 3 wheel comparison, old and new, for some online publication for the US market. although as far as Morgan were concerned it was absolutely only on a normal road test, nowhere near a Track of any description and definitely not Videoed, pictured etc |

Hello. I'm the chap in the Morgan 3 wheeler pictured, the one who set up the 3 wheeler versus 3 wheeler thing, the publication is British although one photographer was American so I think that's where you got that from. One day, when I no longer need to keep on the right side of Morgan (who are kindly lending me a V6 Roadster very soon), I will share my 2 wheeled cornering technique  The feature is in last month's issue of MotorPunk with a little info on both cars you might like, read for free here; www.joomag.com/magazine/motorpunk-april-2014/0826203001396362523?page=6Mark who owns the Reliant is a good mate of mine. He (like me) occasionally writes for PPC too. If you have any specific questions then stick them here and I'll see if I can get his attention. He's also coming to the MotorPunk trackday at Blyton on August 1st and I'm sure would be happy to talk about his madcap creation. It is utterly lethal. I love it  |

tdk, thanks for the offer, the main thing I'm wanting to know is did he have to lower the compression ratio? I assume he did so could you find out how he did it please? Any tips on the engine build would be great, in particular, any weak spots to be uprated? Many thanks, Phil.

I've just recycled my recent PPC mags, but if I recall they are using their own home brew fuel so they can keep high compression. Someone please correct me if i'm wrong though

Correct. Mark is brewing his own fuel, and developed his own ECU too, nothing standard on it really apart from the shell.
