Just won this on ebay, cost me a little more than I wanted and postage is going to be a pain where the sun don't shine, but once it arrives let the engine build commence.


Supercharger

Do you know it works ? it says in the description they dont know if its in working order. Good Luck with the rebuild looks great.

Took a bit of a gamble. Done a bot of research about the charger and unless the rotors are completely fubar'd there isn't much else to go wrong with them. Just bearings and seals. Which I should be able to sort.

Sounds great, Good Luck

I'm jealous.

Got to figure our how and where to mount it now. Do I go for suck or blow though. Still got a few pieces together for the engine build and I need to find someone that can make some custom manifolds for me once I figure out where its going.

Also you my need a new clutch! All three people I know had superchargers fitted and all their clutches went.

go blow through then can use a intercooler and no need for any custom manifolds ,just need to get hold of a metro turbo carb and plenum

modify plenum so in put at a differant angle and fit blowoff valve otherwise will over boost on idle

and all you need the is some tubing and off the shelf silicon hoses to join it all together

and a few simple mounts for charger

blow through is easy to do, easier to get set up and will give more power

and best of all will work out cheaper to do

thats why i am doing new one blow through

Stig, you read my mind. I've got an idea of how and where to mount it, I just need to get my hands on a turbo carb a phlenum now.

[THE STIG]

theres been a few done already

i like the set up in the white minus very neat

[BoboGib]

Cheers for the pictures mate. Given me an idea for routing the pipework.

As for overboosting on idle, the charger I have just bought has an Electronic clutch on the pully so i'm going to see if there is anyway to wire this up so its off at idle. I'm thinking of a microswitch on the accelerator pedal somehow but i don't know how?

[THE STIG]

easier to fit dump /blow off valve

as the supercharger that are swithable run a by pass so the engine can still draw air to run with out the super charger

air wont pass through the super charger if its not turning so unless you have a bypass wont work

Ah, cheers for that info mate, hadn't realised that. The charger is of a Supercharger MR2.
