Are you going to cut the bonnet so the top mount gets some air. cant wait to see how this goes. Radiator fits ok but I'v had to ditch the fan cowling and mount the fan directly to the radiator, The aircon has been replaced by the supercharger, I will be fitting a Pulsar bonnet vent but the opposit way to normal, I intend to duct air under the TMIC and vent out of the back of the pulsar vent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious E Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wow I thought this was a troll at first but this guy is legit haha. Awesome project though, definitely one of the more interesting things I've seen on VS in a while. What are you using for a supercharger and how are you mounting it?

claymore Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 the charger is off a mercedes (eaton m45) it's mounted where the aircon was, using brackets fron the original aircon mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloves850's Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wow, it's not often you see twin screw mounted like that! I love it. Will be keeping a close eye on this build :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Wow I thought this was another Faulty at first but this guy is legit haha. Fixed it for you. I don't think the top mount will work out for you. Airflow looks very restricted. You would be better off stacking the intercoolers in front. You could mount one below the current one you have installed now, although you may need to change your lower bumper setup. There is a reason the Subaru guys ditch the top mount on install a front mount on their cars. I would also think the turbo would restrict airflow to the super at low RPM. If you are running nitrous already, what internal work on the engine have you done and what are your power goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InitialDriveGTR Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Any more pictures of how you mounted the supercharger? When I was thinking about how I could do a supercharger I thought putting it where you did, where the PS pump goes, and then instead of the spark plug cover. This is so cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claymore Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Time will tell on the top mount (keep watching), this engine is a standard 220k miler, but I have another bottom end waiting in the wings which will have "H" beam rods. I'm not after silly power 350bhp will be plenty. the plan initially is to see if it will work, then improve as I find deficiency's. Any more pictures of how you mounted the supercharger?

This is so cool I'll take some picks for you on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcone Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I would totally ditch the top mount, I can't see it having any positive affects down the road. How do you like the unichip? Any more pics of your nitrous setup? And twin charge systems are teh breast, hopefully you get her running soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you do, since the car would jump lanes with nitrous onset without one :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
