supercharging

[stoker100]

well i didnt have time over xmas to scratch my butt so ive started today working on fitting my supercharger, heres what ive got planned and what ive done thus far:

- MS1V3
- Wideband
- remove charcoal canister
- fit catch can
- 1 way PCV check valve
- weight reduction - rear interior/ac

not done:
- relocate MSD (not done yet)
- get SC A/C bracket (not done yet)

obviously theres a lot more to do then whats broken down here but today i fitted a catch can going from my CAI to the rear bank, because i used a cheapie catch can and cheapie steel wool (for gods sake just buy a proper catch can) i had to add filters on both sides of the catch can to prevent the fine fibers of steel wool getting sucked into the engine, at a later date i will replace the steel wool with the one piece thicker type and remove the filters. i also removed the charcoal canister today (see latest pic)

if anyone has any suggestions/comments please feel free to post, this is my first time supercharging a car so its going to take a while. as always pics will come as changes are made, below is the setup before i started today:

ooooh, another Mr.SPeed in the works. Steel wool/brilo pads is no bueno. Need the thicker stuff as mentioned.

oh and about the MSD, you'll have to put the power tower in a different spot for the disty cap. Like inline with the other towers. The only place is drilling the hole were the existant tower is on the inside going to the internal coil.

[stoker100]

thanks for the point about the disty, thats going to be fun!

ok changed my plans, went to fit the SC driveshaft today and basically got annoyed and gave up, i was tossing up if i should sell the kit or not, guess i will be (i know it seems like ive just given up but its a bigger descision then that).

[stoker100]

ive once again changed my plans, going to try to mount the M62 in the AC location (if i can get a bracket), this means pulling the AC which is fine because as of today it looks like this inside and its not my daily anymore:

I'm Keen to see how this pans out should give your Subi a good run for it's money. Just one question are you planning to put traction bars on it as I'm starting to get axle hop from my freakish de since converting to MTX, it has new struts and bushes so the only way to correct it will be traction bars.

[stoker100]

no current plans for traction bars, (but suspension made a huge difference when i lowered 1" and went to pedder's, not that i like the feel but theres 0 wheel hop) we will see when she is boosting if i need the bars! heres the latest phase of weight reduction:

(was a fantastic afternoon alone with the car)

i have a dyno day on (hopefully) this Sat so ill get figures before i do my muffler/cat/sc/brakes im not expecting much, car has not been running fantastic lately and i haven't had time to iron out any bugs. going to guess between 110 and 120wkw.

Sprocket3 can i see a pic of your billet burp tank? where did you get it or did you have it made? im looking at getting one made but would rather buy something off the shelf as i have enough work ahead of me

[Sprocket3]

I made the billet burp tank myself it came up really good painted blue, I have a toolmaker background and my own mill and lathe so it wasn't a drama milled the bayonet fitting on the rotary table. added on facebook.

it seems supercharging isnt getting any closer, im taking on all the small projects to get the car back to perfect before i boost it.

[Sprocket3]

Sweet, do you still have lights?

[stoker100]

yes, all essentials are still there including lights, i removed the following:
- rear boot light wiring
- rear wiper wiring
- tilt switch wiring
and probably more i cant remember

also shortened the wiring to the rear demister which was 1.5m longer then it should have ever been.

next is a immobilizer wiring issue to fix that causes current draw when the car is off and then fix VRIS#2 (ECU wont activate it under load but it works through diagnostic testing), then im going to strip back the wiring in the engine bay the same way.

Great to see you are still going to Supercharge the probe

I've been dealing with the house still for the past 2 years so I haven't been able to do much on my probe as well which is a shame she's in need of a lot of TLC she looks bad

[stoker100]

yeah im getting there very slowly, i know what its like with a house, mine takes up 90% of my weekends (for the past 6.5 years now) it never really ends. be sure to set aside a day to clean the probe up and post some recent pics!

currently still looking for a M62 A/C location bracket.....
