Nice!!! Mat

Hi guys, Thanks for the replies looks like it will be feasible. My car is a lotus, has a very low bonnet, already a small bulge fro the 1uz, so the fish bracket won't work at all, and a blower on the plenum will be too tall as well. I'm still considering attempting to put the charger pulley...

At £80 a go it doesn't matter so much if they don't last forever! I've got a W58 in my car but thinking of an R154 in the future if I tune the engine. The problem is not just the cost of buying the R154, as on my car the W58 is the standard fitment and an R154 would need some thought and...

Hi, thanks for the replies, i'd be really interested in seeing a photo of that, and knowing where you got the pulley from. And knowing how you figured out a belt tensioner for the charger belt. Btw does anyone know if a double sided 6 rib belt can be obtained in the same size as the standard...

Hi, Has anyone on here ever mounted a centrifugal supercharger off a separate belt driven from an additional pulley in front of the existing crank pulley? ie using a separate shorter belt and not the existing aux belt. On the car I've got there is tons of room in that area in front of the...

Hi all, Has anyone got the dimensions of a procharger P1SC? A CAD drawing would be brilliant, but just a rough guide to the space it takes up from the pulley centre in all directions would be enough to go on - I'm looking into fitting a P1SC, need to know if it will fit in the engine bay...

Hi Gloverman, Thanks I got it - the lextreme forum used to send an email but I don't get a notification of private messages any more. thanks for going to the trouble of sending it, I'll give them a go. Cheers, Mat.

PS sorry for the spelling error on your name! Mat.

Hi goverman, thanks that is reasonable! The bore looks good - I guess that's the benefit of the stainless sleeve, normally slave cylinders go rusty so you chuck them and buy a new one. You seem to have a more "can do" attitude to fabrication and customisation over there - over here people would...

Thanks, can you me know who you would order a piston and seal from? If you can give me a website or a phone number, over here people just say "dunno - whats the reg number" If you know of a good place to order seals and pistons fro a clutch slave from that would be great. Cheers, Mat.

Hi, yes there are lots of suppliers of seals of all kinds - the issue is you need to know what it is so you can order it.... thanks, Mat.

There is a picture of it on the bullet website but I will take a photo and try to stick it on here. http://www.bulletcars.com/parts/gearbox-conversion-kits.html Thanks, Mat.

Hi all, Does anyone know what the slave cylinder on the bullet kit is from? Mine leaks, not really been used yet, but a few years since i bought it so I don't expect they will honour any warranty. I emailed them to ask what it is from, they said it is "custom built for this kit" but it must be...

Thanks - I have yet to take any of it off but good to know it can come off in one piece and not be split. I've also yet to take the injectors off for cleaning, I've not done any work on this engine yet. Mat.

Btw the starter is good. I give the engine a few spins on the starter every few weeks to keep the oil going round it.

Thanks - that's good thinking - a lot easier to get the plenum off than get to the back of the block. Cheers, Mat.

Hi all, I'm starting on wiring up my 1uz engine, The engine is from a soarer, with the live battery feed presented on the left front of the engine. It would be useful to me to be able to re route this live feed to come from the other side of the engine - does anyone know the route the live...

Hi Vince, thanks that would be great. btw did you get my message about the loom? Cheers, Mat.

I think that car does have style!!! and a supercharger - what more do you need? ha ha Mat.

Hi, Thanks for the replies - so in that case the white wire that is labelled "to AC relay" must be from the ECU to the relay that turns the AC on and off. If so I'd like to wire that, rather than have the AC direct off the button on the heater panel (not a soarer one - but a direct button for...
