Thank you.....Henry, sorry I spelled your name wrong....fat fingered it

[Bigtoe32067]

That is the cleanest straightest line of Curil T I’ve ever seen. I get it all over the place. Henry is a Curil T artist. Props

John does great work and I tend to stick with what works/has worked.

Thanks Henry

More than you want to spend but less than you think.

Singer (Ed Pink) stratosphere numbers.....no
Shade-tree numbers.....no again.

Henry do you have your cases vapor cleaned? It still appears that some controversy remains ,as to whether its "safe"

Spent the afternoon at Henry's shop and this engine looks even better in person. It's a work of art!

Jee-zus!
Always a tasty build from Supertec!

Thx for sharing!!

[Kemo]

thanks for posting! Awesome build, I bet it pulls like a beast!

Not high butterflies, but here's my beautiful set of rebuilt throttle bodies for the 70E sporto I'm putting back together. Henry and his crew do some nice work.

The pump mods are items we've developed over the years to enhance reliability and function, not to mention a touch of WOW. The trick bits are ours but the magic tuning was performed by Mark Jung @ MFI Werks.

First the RSR replica cover was designed and manufactured by Aaron Burnham exclusively for Supertec. As you can see, it's work of art. It varies from the original RSR cover in that it has a boss to mount our enrichment device. The original thermostat can also be mounted.


This is a cable operated enrichment device that allows the drive to control the mixture for start up. This is the 3rd generation and we believe the improvements move it to the next level. If you own a 1st or 2nd generation device, we would be happy to up-grade yours for no charge. Simply send it back


Years ago we decided that hot engine oil in the pump made sense only if you ran a cold start thermostat. So with a enrichment device, sealing the pump was a no brainer.


As the pump heats up, pressure builds inside so if you seal the pump you have to run a breather. We made this breather a bolt on item the make it user friendly.


The fuel fitting were originally designed to accommodate the tight space engine compartment on a 917 replica. We were so happy with the results we decided to add it to our list of products.


Making custom fuels to match the fitting was the logical next step.

fantastic!

Nice looking bits there Henry!

Henry, tell us a bit more about the ITG vs the K&N filters used in your earlier high performance builds please.

Do the ITG’s have superior air flow? Does it just come down to aesthetics?

I note the ITG’s come with base plates that allow custom mounting/machining to mag, plastic or individual stacks to match the intakes. This seems to be more flexible than the K&N option which is predrilled for carbs.

Regards,

Andrew

The choice has a little bit to do with a multitude of variables.
First, dyno sheets show an increase in performance with air filters installed vs. no air filter. We did not do a comparative dyno run with K&N.
Aesthetics is always a consideration. ITGs offer high quality filtration with a "period correct" feel.
Perhaps the largest factor is the universal appeal of the ITG. They allow us to custom fit them to a plethora of custom intakes.
We're really happy with the way they fit on our custom high butterfly stacks.

Without air filters
