azcarbum Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well, after about a year and a half of collecting and thinking, I've just about have everything figured out, and parts in line for my Custom SC project. quick run down: JCR Supercharger setup ( thank you 1TUFFZ ) Wolf3D EMS ( Ron Tyler - PrimeEMS ) 6 IGN Coil setup ( PrimeEMS ) Cutsom CAS for Lseries ( PrimeEMS ) There alot more little special pieces that will make a very one of kind setup.. I can't tell you how excited I am to get going on this. I should start the process soon, and I'll make sure to keep posting progress reports as I get along.

mario_82_ZXT Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Looks cool, but why the 7th injector? Is that charger meant to be run wet? Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcarbum Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 yes.. its ment to run wet. Thats my way of taking care not only lubrication, but reducing the heat. Pete Sanders is running the same setup on his car dry. He say's he hasn't had any problems, but his intake temp has been 300 deg!!! ( yike!!) The elbow/ TB is from a late 90's mustang. It takes care of a bunch of things in one big swoop!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X64v Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Looks awesome! What kind of injectors, or injector housings are those? I love the idea of an fittings for feed rather than a fuel rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIKWEAR002 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 nice welds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcarbum Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Yes, the welds turned out awesome!! I found a local shop, and they only charged me $60 to weld both TBI elbow, and the intake manifold. Thats a dam good price in my book! The Injector bungs are a CNC unit made by SDS. They are $37 ea. which insn't bad. What makes them unique, is that they craddle the injector and seal it inside each unit. This way, as you said, I will run individual braided lines to each injector. They hold the standard 14mm GM injectors. I'm going to run 440cc for my setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 79ztuner Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 looks nice...good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardkid280z Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 So, are you just running fuel to the lone injector? Or will it be methanol, alcohol or water fed? I have a JCR kit that I'll be installing soon, and am still trying to figure out the whole fuel situation... I'd also love to see some pics of your fuel lines once they're all installed, should be a work of art. Any issue with hood clearance with that Ford TB setup?

azcarbum Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'll be running just fuel to each injector from a distibution block i've found. With the WolfEMS system I'm using, I will have extremely fine control over Ign. and fuel, which will allow me to fine tune the entire system for maximum gains and reliability. The 7th injector is fuel also for cooling and lubrication of the SC. The Camden SC is a "Wet" style supercharger, and is not recommended running dry! Anyther hybridz member has been running it dry on his track car. He say's he hasn't had any problems with the SC, but his intake tempratures were around 300 deg... YIKES!!

boardkid280z Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Sorry, I wasn't entirely clear there. I was assuming the 6 injectors in the runners would be for fuel, but I was wondering if you had any intentions of using the 7th injector for "cooling injection" using a fluid besides gasoline, like water, alcohol or methanol. Thinking about the hood clearance issue, I was searching for different scoop possibilities and came across some pics of the classic blower/carb scoop with 2, 3 or 4 butterflies sticking way up. You know a car's bad, when it's got one of these babies sticking out the hood: What if we applied the same principle to the Z, and I'm not talking about no V8 + blower + scoop setup with the scoop sticking straight up out tha middle. I'm talking inline 6, JCR supercharger kit, scoop with three red butterflies sticking out the driver side of the hood at a 45 degree angle. I photoshopped a little sample of what it might look like as follows: I might have to try it, comments? In fact I dare you all to dare me to do it, then I'll have to do it.

azcarbum Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 There's no doubt it can be done. The real question is why, and for what effect.. You can spend alot of money on things that don't help you any. You would never need 3 butterfly's for an intake on a L motor.... Infact, you would most likely run into mixture problems, especially off the bottom end. The required size of the TB is something that is tuned for your setup. Like alot of things, you can create issues by going to small, and to big without gaining anything. The 75mm shown on my setup, is way more than I'll ever need!

boardkid280z Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Well, I was planning on using some type of TBI setup for my first iteration of getting the supercharged engine running. The TBI would just sit on top of the supercharger with a spacer. So the scoop would just force air into the TB. And the scoop butterflies wouldn't actually be functional. You could have one with the two or three butterflies that just open along with the actual throttle, or you could just have a scoop that scoops and filters, with no butterflies.

azcarbum Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 I see what your talking about. I personelly don't like the look, but its all up to the individual. I'll be running a intake out the front of the nose pretty much in the same position as the OE filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo240zguy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi, I noticed you have had no new posts on your supercharger project. Have you completed it yet? If you have, could you post some pics and info on how it is going?----Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
