Good news - bad news update. Bad news; The power steering pump I found on a burnt out engine has a bent shaft and is no good to line up the s.c. pulley. Good news; Shane has offered to lend me a power steering pump and alternator for the jig engine. Bad news; My original supplier of stainless pipe bends has let me down. Good news; Now on their way from Demontweeks. Bad news; The MA70GTE ICV has arrived, but is not quite right for the job. Good news; Have found a JZA80GTE ICV and it's on it's way. I have ordered a 4.2" supercharger pulley, and that should arrive next week. As soon as these odds and sods are here, I can prepare the final pieces of the jigsaw. The glue it all together day is looming.

Just be sure that you can live with LED torches shining into your eyes whilst night driving, before even considering a pillar pod.

Open to sensible offers on these.

Looking far a TT ICV mounting block please.

You will need a timing strobe for that little job.

It may be worth a try backing it off to 5o BTDC to see if that helps.

If the coil doesn't cure it, maybe it's the knock detectors cutting in. What RON fuel are you running, and what ignition timing BTDC?

Some pics. I have made the charge cooler mounting brackets, the ends will be fitted with studs and trimmed to match tags on the c.c. The silicone elbow needs to be an inch or so higher to clear the chassis rail so need to reposition the t.b. but need to wait until the larger s.c. pulley has arrived.

Not completing any of this growing 3x3D jigsaw of components is frustrating, yet I must delay any permanent assembly before all of the pieces of this puzzle are here. There's room for the components I am still unearthing for the project, but no room for error, they all have to be snuggled up with each other, then given a tack of weld. Now I have the silicone induction elbow and a Lexus cruise cable there is a conflict of space, and the throttle body mount will need it's 3rd on car locating tack together session to angle the front upwards by around 15o. As the conversion evolves I am developing finer ways of my first ideas, and this evolving DIY Supercharger Conversion jigsaw I am collating, is like a great big Airfix kit, not plastic, but chunks of steel and aluminium. When all the bits are ready, it should glue together in a day.

Thank you Steve, looking in wrong section, but couldn't find it with 'search'.

I am surprised that Nic hasn't leapt up with the answer. I have been looking for the 'which wheels fits over U.K. brakes' thread, but can't find it?

Have you checked that the ignition coil is O.K. and do you have the correct heat range spark plugs?

The 3" - 4" silicone elbow to connect t.b. to K&N has arrived, and also the old type HT lead connectors, :) but still waiting for the stainless steel bends. All of the holes in t.b, knuckle branch and s.c. elbow now have the correct threads and I have also found a sheet of 4mm alloy to fabricate the chargecooler. :) My efforts to cut the ICV out of the N/A t.b. did not go well, there is a cavity in the casting that complicates the job, so I have decided to use an ICV from a Mk3 turbo Supra, it is exactly what I was trying to make. Waiting delivery of that too. Can't complete the induction or S.C. mounting bracket or begin on charge cooler until the bends arrive, :( so will make the charge cooler mounts next.

Bonjoir Tom, Vous ecrire Anglaise tres bon I am looking for an integration relay, it is the size of a cigarette pack and is located on the back of the fuse board in the drivers kick panel. Cream in colour and has the number 82641-14050 on it. Cheers David

Will these 17" Momo wheels fit over U.K. brakes? Anyone know the offset of these?
