A couple of photos of the test fitting of the supercharged version of the 1UZ in my Rover.
The engine in the photos is a dead sample I use for mocking up parts.
The supercharger set up is an Eaton MP112 mounted on a water to air aftercooler which is mounted on a custom manifold.
The bonett will need surgery to go over the top of the blower.
The M112 off the Cobra would have fitted under the bonnet better than the Lightning MP version but then I would have had trouble mounting the aftercooler.
The starter has been relocated to below the engine as the aftercooler unit sits in the valley where the starter used to live.
This swap will take months as my new engine can't be assembled until we sort out the Group buy on conrods. Once that's done it will all be screwed together.
Whilst doing the new engine I'm swapping to an Torqueflite auto to soften the load on the diffs and axles.
