zane9000 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 So I finished my mount yesterday. Its not pretty, but it is really strong and it make my giant S/C fit in the engine bay, so Im happy. Plus now I have a working proto type that I can get something nicer made from. Anyway, It is not plumbed yet and I dont have the pulley bolted to the crank yet, but this will giver you an idea about what I have been doing with my past few days (not that any of you even know who I am lol) -Warren ^thats who I am!

pallnet Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Looks interesting. I would shield the SC and piping from the exhaust heat and you better beef up those brackets... Otherwise it's a good project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zane9000 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Yea, I am going to try and fit up some sort of heat sheild. As far as the beefyness of the bracket goes, that metal surprisingly strong (and expensive!) But yea, like I said, this is just a prototype so I can get the car running and have a templet to work off of. After the MSA show is over I plan to get a finished bracket made.

cygnusx1 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Very cool. I investigated that approach a few years ago but I decided to go with an L28ET instead. I really wish you luck and I can't wait to hear how she runs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zane9000 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 I actually used the L28ET motor with the s/c. I decided that I wanted somthing that would make more boost than the stock turbo and that seemed like a good way to do it. Peak pressure output is supposed to be about 1.2Bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Looks like in interesting project. Keep us updated. I second pallent on the brackets. You wouldn't want that thing moving around while at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 WHAT no A/C! lol Just kidding:lol: looks good, let us know what kind of HP you get....oh and how much is 1.2 bar:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 1 bar = 14.7 psi. 1.2 bar = 17.64 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scott Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 It looks like a cogged belt? Not sure of the traction of the drive system, but I second the additional reinforcement. Its amazing how much stress a belt supercharger puts on the mounts. You can see in my personal photos, the custom brackets I made, though V6. With an 8 rib ATI, I was using 1/2" aluminum, mounted to three points on my head, the front of the SC, and the SC housing.. Then adding more angle bracing, turnbuckles etc, above 14 psi, I still had deflection and belt slip. I was using my weight and a 2' breaker bar to set the tension. Try and see? Always make it beefier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 17.64 pounds of boost, that should help in the passing lane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
