Regardless, nothing is equal to just having it in a car and seeing how it fits. It's the difference between holding a shirt up to your body and trying it on.

I'll do it of course I'm no were near you but....
giving the fact that I have built my own supercharger set-up for a 2nd gen v6 I think giving you an accuracte explaintion of whats going on and what needs to be done if anything will be easy. I can also make adjustments (if needed, I'm a tool and die maker, with a full welding shop at my use as well)
as you know when I had the supercharger on my car I think me and rick were the only ones that were doing it. some 2 or so years ago, he was the first that I know of. but he is my stepdad and we shared alot of ideas, hell I machined the final intake piece of the supercharger inlet. (actually I made my own and he liked mine better then his and took it) it's all good though, I guess he liked the idea of full radius corners that I used on mine.03 frontier family car/dd

well it was pretty much same thing as ricks, only a little dufferent. he said "you should sc'er your car" I said ok. then he said "look thats were it goes" so as much as it was his set-up I did all my own work as far as maching and getting everything lined up.I knew I had to remove the a/c and make it fit in there, but thats about all the help he gave me. I sold you my old charger it was probally good for only a core but...
there were slight changes between mine and his, I tried all kinds of different things to get more belt contact,different things with piping sizes, and yes me and rick both J.B. welded steel tubing to our vaf to hold them together. this was all before megasquirt.
with him being so old we would talk about different ways of making it better and then I would use my car to test things. probally why I changed motors so often that year. when I would prove something to work better I would make an extra one for him. but he is the man that came up with the idea to even use that charger in that spot. I was just the young guy that he could trust to do the work and not tell anybody till we knew it was good.Last edited by harvey93gt; June 11, 2006, 01:42 PM.03 frontier family car/dd

Adlorin do you have any pictures of the mock up so we can see. I think it would be great to see what the item may look like.95 PGT HOLSET HX35 AND 10PSI daily driver

But yes, I still have your 'core' supercharger. It produces a whopping 4psi with a setup which creates 11psi on a good blower. muwaha! Perfect for fitments and stuff though.

Actually, I got spare gears from a 89PGT (5-speed of course) - if you need them let me know.

well yeah my last set-up it went to an intercooler so it didn't run up by the head.
I have a fifth gear assy. just have to put it in, I have a 6 month old daughter so I don;t have much free time.
thanks for the offer though, and if you want me to test fit one of those let me know. I'll even send you the money for shipping.03 frontier family car/dd

Atleast with the 5th gear you only have to remove the pan, dropping the transaxle completely isn't required.

Did you try posting in one of the forums for your location? I'm sure if you put it out there someone will be willing to get this thing test fitted.95 PGT HOLSET HX35 AND 10PSI daily driver
