Shane Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Just got in from a day that started at 5 am, horrid drive back from London but at least it's fitted. http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q220/shaneg7ewl/DSCF0156.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q220/shaneg7ewl/DSCF0155.jpg Took it off to drive home but the way we have done it means it is only two bolts to remove the top of the sandwich plate. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couv3z Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 be good to see it when it fully done and running, your leading the way for N/a drivers, fly the flag high just looking at the photos: clear to to see where the super charger connects to the air intake but where does the charge sux the air from?

mr lover Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 nice to see someone trying something different, what sort of power are you hoping for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta, the inlet port is on the back of the supercharger. In fact the way the outlet manifold is on the photos is unlikely to be how it will end up. "nice to see someone trying something different, what sort of power are you hoping for ?" At the moment the limiting factor for power is the transmision and the fact I intend to use stock compression ratio, won't be running any more than about 7 psi, but who knows for the future:search: __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couv3z Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 you coming to the meet on the 30th like to have a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 yeah that would be something good to have a peek at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 you coming to the meet on the 30th like to have a look? Yes I might be able to get over. Did I see it was at sixfields? It may not be fitted though, if not I will bring it in the boot so you can see it. Problem is that when it is on I cant fit the air filter until I do loads more fabrication. Depends on how much I can get done on Saturday. My bird is already moaning that I haven't seen her for ages because of the time I spend on the car... blah blah. If it doesn't rain on saturday I may be able to get it back on and then hook up a temporary induction arrangement so I can use it without the charger connected. Will be a few weeks before I get it anywhere like hooked up, I need to do loads before it is ready to connect. But am a huge step closer now and for the rest of the build I will be less reliant on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargo Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 good work,, FYI and youve prob researched this anyway, my last car was a lexus IS300 which is also a 2jz ge, over in the states there are 3 or 4 companies offering turbo kits for the IS300 (srt, phr, turboeast off the top of my head) and only one offering a supercharger kit, prolexperformance.com, using the vortech charger unit. had you looked at using this kit, as i assume very little if any modification would need to be done.. ive just been trying to get on ther website but with no luck, maybe problem my end..

Last time I looked it wasn't available for the ge. It's the location of the dizzy on the ge that causes the problems. I believe the kit you are thinking of was for the later engine that didnt use a distributor but coil packs. But, could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyer864 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 been looking down the supercharger route for age's now, and been put off by different commen'ts on the forum, so i'm very interested in what the outcome will be !! good luck. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_supra Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 That is looking great. Shane, very impressed. How long do you think it will be before it's up and running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 That is looking great. Shane, very impressed. How long do you think it will be before it's up and running? Cheers Jim, Still lots to do, not only fabrication/pipework, but also engine management/fuelling side of things. So I dont know really how long it will be, but the good thing is that I am now not reliant on others and the rest I should be able to do myself. I still have 19 days holliday left so might take a few days off and get going on it. That's if it ever stops raining! Just been looking at the SAFC2 paperwork, cant say that looks like the easiest of things to drive or install either. You going to JAE again this year?

b_have Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Is the charger housing watercooled? If not its going to get pretty hot sitting on the exhaust manifold. Are you using an intercooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Are you not planning on using any form of cooling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
