Grant's EFI Supercharger project...
December 12, 2005

Once finished and installed, the Mad Max engine proved to be a potent performer. The final horsepower figure is unknown at this time, but the big 351 V8 Cleveland powered XA coupe (dressed in XC battle-dress) is now possessing performance beyond even its previously impressive un-supercharged output. Happily and as planned, the finished motor sat at the correct Mad Max interceptor height. The absence of the carburettors and the presence of the both menacing and functioning Scott Injection hat perfectly finish off the flawless lines of Grant’s impeccable coupe. Grant's car might not be an Interceptor replica but along with its undoubtedly different but still sexy movie star good looks, it is certainly packing a real life legitimate heavyweight punch!

Grant's EFI Supercharger project...
September 21, 2004

Grant Hodgson is currently working on a supercharger system that will run the Scott hat and deliver the fuel via fuel injection mounted below the blower. This is a serious deviation from the traditional supercharger operation that works on compression of both air and fuel. This a radical system that in theory should work! As far as we know this has not been done before. Grant has designed the system and the complex fuel delivery plate that shall be mounted above the Weiand manifold. In essence the supercharger will compress the air and then pick up the fuel from the injectors mounted below.  Fuel delivery requirements shall be controlled by a regular TPS, and the injection controlled by a  programmable "Wolf" system. This is a big personal gamble on Grants part as he is personally funding the development of this system. If this design works the system will retain the Interceptor film "look" above the hood and so the potential applications of such a system to a MAD MAX interceptor are simply awesome. For the complex engineering work both Gordon and Grant wish to acknowledge the help and assistance of Robin Johnston and all the guys at Robert Cameron and Company Pty Ltd.

Budget Replica Finished!
March 19, 2004

Looks OK eh at just a bit over half the 
price of the "real" replica. With a 
smaller V8 engine and not the top 
shelf gear box and diff, and not a full 
rebuild, all parts were replaced as necessary.
Also it models with a "whatever we have, we 
have" interior. All of the same correct 
"real" Mad Max replica parts were used 
in the rebuild of this replica (nosecone,
spoilers, siren, lights, etc).

Big Block Replica Update
January 21, 2004

The Big Block replica was due to appear at the local "Motorvation" car show in Perth 17-18 January 2004. In the end the car was available for show but it was not running. In short we just ran out of preparation time. Although not even 100% cosmetically finished the car did still look the part.

To have had the new Interceptor replica 
up and running would have been
excellent, sadly just not to be. However 
we did make the Friday morning press 
session alongside two legends of the 
Australian street-machine show/sport circuit 
in Gary Myers (Supercharged Mustang) and Peter Gray (Supercharged Camaro).

big block replica.

New Max Factory!
September 10, 2003

September 6, 2003 we moved into this factory-type unit, although surprisingly this does not indicate a scaling up of the replica building. If anything we are slowing down. The Max thing has been consuming a bit too much from life, with very little return for the time invested over the last few years. We are still in the game, but the days of building three replicas at once are past I think. We plan to still tick things along but we are going to be allowing more time to build a replica.

Big Block Interceptor Replica Under Construction

It now has the roof and trunk spoilers fitted although the final blendings still need to be done. The hard work on those two attachments is done. The 460 engine is now under construction and that will be ready for fitting within a few weeks. I will have a picture of the finished and ready-to-install engine soon.

"Budget Replica" under construction

A replica at less than half the full re-build and movie correct replica cost. There is a lot of interest in this already, yet it is still to early to determine the final price. Please watch this site for progress on this replica.
