    Supracharger Project

    Well I’ve gone and done it now! I was browsing ebay, and came across a brand new Eaton M112, 1,835cc per rev Supercharger from a Jaguar XKR 4.2, at a price I just couldn't ignore. This design will fit around the distributor nicely, the intake includes a vacuum operated external bypass and the exit flange mounting is square which will make fitting easier to meet with an aluminium, air-to-water cooler inlet manifold. I really like the recently installed Suprastick, so have worked out a way for this ECU to control the stronger T.T. transmission, so this Supercharger conversion will include building an up rated and Suprastick compatible N/A-T.T. hybrid. (Click on 'Supracharger Project' link in 'my garage' for build thread.)
  2. My Crystal Balls tell me that unless it's all Greek to you........... Casting this Hexagon of spells, XXXX. WILL make the most magic from your A340E transmission. (Makes it GO FASTEST) XXX XXXXXXXXXXXx
  3. Epsilon: Increasing engine rpm can increase horse-power without increasing torque & consequently, is another perfect engine upgrade to complement this torque-limited auto box. (Makes it go faster) How-To Raise Gear-Change rpm here. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?discussionid=230&do=discuss XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Zeta: Fitting lairy-cams, or budget-upgrading T.T. head with N/A inlet-cam, (proven good for 7,100rpm with stock valve-springs in Dan's video clip) mapped without lairy-boost or ignition-timing, can increase horse-power without increasing torque and consequently, is another upgrade to complement this torque-limited auto box. (Makes it go faster)
  4. Gamma: Correct regulation of ATF temperature, maintains these faster-changes at their fastest. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?discussionid=209&do=discuss Delta: Increasing exhaust-pipe diameter to 3.5", can increase horse-power without increasing torque & consequently, is a perfect upgrade to complement this torque-limited auto box. (Makes it go faster) Dyno evidence here. http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/engine/modp-1102-exhaust-test-tech/ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  5. Alpha: Using Premium ATF & adding Lucas SS, both make gear-changes a tad faster. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?discussionid=188&do=discuss Beta: Shim accumulators to speed up gear-changes. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?discussionid=143&do=discuss
  6. To compliment shimmed A340E transmissions livelier gear-changes. A Gizmo that automatically blipped-revs @ change-downs would be a cherry on your cake? Not only would this mod be trendy. Better-matched clutch-speeds @ down-changes would reduce heat-generated & increase-longevity of clutches.
  7. I am expectant to create a 650ftlb capable transmission with Super-Fast gear-changes and if desired, raised rpm too, for what will add up to be 25%? the cost of an R154, All being well, this build should be configurable for plug & play compatibility with either N/A-T auto and/or T.T. auto installations.
  8. New page opened for "650ftlb 'Universal Compatibility' Hybrid". http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?gmid=2867&do=discuss#gmessage2867
  9. I am expectant to create a 650ftlb transmission with Super-Fast and if desired, raised rpm gear-changes for what will add up to be 25%? the cost of an R154, by mixing & matching Tiptronic components into the T.T. & N/A components mix as explained in the link below. The build could be configured for plug & play compatibility with either N/A-T or T.T. auto installations. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?discussionid=229&do=discuss
  10. To learn the answer for my curiosity, I have bought myself a Tiptronic box with torque-conveter for 0.99p on ebay. Currently this in the care of Benjy and as soon as I can get my hands on it............... I can confirm if the casting is same as T.T. & N/A boxes, or the next gen A650 castings? If it turns out to be same as A650, this idea will be laughed off the forum as a Brain Fart. Regardless, should it be found compatible with T.T. & N/A valve bodies, I will be able to add these components into the ever growing possible variants of Hybridised transmissions. The addition of these stronger components could raise the bar of these cheap as chips transmissions up to 650ftlb. Not the 700ftlb I was asked for, but nevertheless, it would be as strong as an R154 for 25% of the price.
  11. This page had retired to become the last one on the last page and that is where I thought it would stay, but maybe not? This tip is a little ahead of it'self, nevertheless, I should soon have the answers to report. The strongest A340 in the series that I tinker with is the Tiptronic, Knightrider has been leathering one of these around with 600ftlbs? for some time now without destroying it. However, I have yet to see the casting behind the brain in one of these?

  13. If it turns out to have same oil-ways as A650, the components won't interchange and this idea will be laughed off the forum as a Brain Fart. Regardless, should it be found compatible with T.T. & N/A valve bodies, I will be able to add these components into the ever growing possible variants of Hybridised transmissions. The addition of these stronger components should raise the bar of these cheap as chips transmissions up to 650ftlb.

  16. I am moving home and now have a level 2 x car concrete drive. Which means you can now bring your Supra to me to have this conversion done. :)
