Mockup Still waiting for some parts Does anybody know what size is the OD of the TB ? also the OD of the MAF? Just too lazy to unscrew the intake pipe and measure :p

True enough Steve, i guess i was in a hurry, then there's also the fact that it's very difficult getting any spare parts here in Sweden. Anyways, i'll be getting an Adaptronic or F-IC8 and it won't matter anymore. I got my dual electric fans, they are 14": and a dual fan controller with...

Fuel pump mod I had problems with warm starts. My car would start and die after a few seconds. If i however gave it a few good pushes on the gas pedal, then it would work normally. After the ECU-mod this problem went away, the car feels alert when accelerating and i listened carefully that the...

Hi, I guess that as long as the engine is on it's just like it was before. Plenty of other ppl did that mod without having any issues, what would the danger be? I'm not really sure when the pump gets 12V, i did not check with a voltmeter, i assumed that this has been checked since it's an old...

Updates Hi guys, I changed the fuel pump today, got a little help from a friend, but did most of the work myself, this is the pump, 340 l/h: I got so excited that i'm actually doing something related to the supercharger project that i completely forgot to take pictures. Sorry 'bout that...

Yeah, sorry 'bout that, i played around with the webserver, forgetting that the pictures were linked. Fixed now.

Hi Martin, Thx for posting, in your pictures i could see something that resembles a bypass valve before the MAF. Any ideas on what exactly i should buy ? /Mike

PCV valve We're having a discussion over at clublexus regarding the correct use of PCV valves and how to route crank case fumes when in an FI application: Care to comment on this image? What i haven't figured out is where exactly the orange line should be connected on the intake manifold...

Fmic This came in the mail yesterday: Bar & plate design 69cm Wide 23cm High 6.5cm Thick 2.5" Pipe Inlets/Outlets

Why Steve, I bet you say that to all the boys ;) Hi guys, Thank you for following this thread and for your patience, i know things move slowly, i've had a few setbacks, the package from Vortech took more than one month to arrive, one of my friends who has an auto repair shop had a stroke a...

Vortech supercharger This came in the mail today

Update Hi Steve and all others following this thread, It's winter in Sweden and i think very little progress will be made as long as it's cold outside. atm my car is at the workshop, they are fixing my A/C. on wednesday my Vortech snail will be arriving in the mail. I visited a company who...

Got some stuff today Look what the postman brought today:

New headunit Well Steve, i'm getting closer, i just bought a new Vortech V3 SCi, CCW, straight discharge. Max Speed:53000 RPM Max Boost:17 PSI Max Flow:1050 CFM Max Power:725 HP Discharge OD:2.75" Inlet OD:3.5" Discharge ID:2.38" Inducer Diameter:3.1"

End result Well it didn't help very much to wash them in ultrasonic bath, i don't think degreaser transmits sound waves as good as water, i had to clean them manually.

Look what's cookin' 8x315cc injectors in my ultrasonic bath, swimming in degreaser. Yummy ! Thanks Blizzy !

Supercharger pulley Hi guys, I placed a bid on a Vortech V2, S trim, CCW rotation on ebay 1250 US$, which is a reasonable price for a rebuilt unit. Now to my questions: 1. What size would the pulley be? 2. How many ribs? 3. Ratio ? /Mike

New interior I just got the car back from the upholstery shop,--> not very happy with the result, however it is way better than before. Here are a few pictures:
