That's why i'll be rebuilding my entire intake to drop it slightly and then incorporate a charge cooler.

Here's two more of what she looked like, cops gave me endless hell because the charger stuck out the bonnet.

This is what my setup looked like before i stripped her down

Right now i'm having the block rebored to 40 thou over size to fit the new forged pistons i got, just need to get some forged rods with some arp bolts, i already have a 288 degree cam with some 1000cc injectors.

Hey Man, been way to busy to carry on with my project, but things are looking good for early next month to get some work done on the hooligan!

I'll post some pics of my new intake design once I have all the components. This is my first supercharger build so I'm still new to it all. Still trying to figure out what would be the best cam duration for it, but that-ll come in time as it's now time to rebuild the whole engine as it was never...

The heat coefficient is my problem right now as i don't have a charge cooler, my intake temps spike at 150 degrees C on some hot days here. For this reason i started removing my engine so that i can start redesigning my intake that has a charge cooler built in. The most boost i can go right now...

Here's two links of my videos on youtube. link1 Link 2 If i can get my pulley ratios i was hoping a M90 running slower would be better than a M62 running faster at the same PSI output.

We saw an increase of between 4% and 5% by porting and polishing on the standard system before we did the other work. What i can say is that the response on the diesel was better but not world changing.

Thanks for the useful info TCJ, But what would be best for a supercharger engine?

It's an interesting argument actually, take the ford 2.5 turbo diesel for example. Standard 93Kw and 329nm, after flowing the entire intake side it went up to 104Kw and 361nm. After doing all that we changed the boost pipes to 72mm, fitted a larger intercooler, upped the boost to 1.0 bar from...

I have one friend that has been busy for the last three years on his build, a twin charged vaux 1.6i.

I very serious about this as I'm the first here to do it so and I want to do it successfully at the same time. It seems the guys here are a bit afraid of a supercharger. I'm still running the manual f15 gearbox which is a little light for the job (saving grace is the slipping clutch). I...

Man that's a beautiful car! I'm busy tracking done all the tuning info that gm released for making a monster out of a puny little 2.0L. I'm sticking to my n/a block as the water jacket is stronger than the ecotec one.

My engine started out as a N/A 2.0L That came in the opel kadett 200is. I would've loved to have gotten my hands on a LSJ ecotec from the states! It would've made my life a lot easier. I'm running the standard 9.0:1 compression with 9 PSI.

AAAHHH, to live in a fantasy world where real world weights don't exist.

Thanks Waynne, I just don't want to put random stuff up just for 10 posts. Okay so after fitting the vaux rear discs and seeing how amazing it looks, I went to price the larger discs for the front i need to balance out the braking as it tends to lock up on the rear when i hit the anchors hard...

just waiting for 10 posts ronbros then i can load some.

So after having belt alignment issues i'm removing the intake manifold this week to fit a charge cooler core and to re-align the belt. (two 6pk belts in a day is a bit rough) and i might be fitting a m90 charger with a electric clutch if the guy is willing to part with it. I've also completed...

That's what i'm aiming for T9

Thanks Herb, After watching the video, i realised i should've said that it's a vauxhall engine as it's known around the world. Vauxhall in south africa are called opel.

Hey guys, This my project car that i have been working on for the last two years. Started out as a 1.4L which somehow didn't like me much so after that blew i sourced a 2.0L 8 valve from a 98 model opel 200is kadett. All was running well until i got bitten by the boost bug again and was offered...

I would like to know how to work out what cam duration would work best with my setup as i have no one i can ask here. Superchargers are used very little here for boosted applications, as far as i know there are two of us this side using roots style chargers. He is currently busy with a twin...

Hey guys, I'm Tristan from South Africa and i have a 2.0L supercharged opel corsa b. Hoping some of the older guys might impart some of their wisdom on me as there are very few guys here that know superchargers
