Super Runner,
Did you notice the top plate of the new manifold bolts on.
I'd remove the bolts, remove the top plate and bolt the charger on then bolt the top plate back on, but that's just the way I'd do it.
Zen,
Have you thought about the uneven distribution of air between front/rear cylinders? This has been a problem with the twin screw superchargers.
My front cylinders ran lean and blew #1 cylinder.
re how it bolts on..yep your spot on..oh..i see what you mean superrunner...the sides are made of angle,welded to the lower plate,nuts are welded on to the underside of angle( would have tapped the angle,but decided it was not thick enough..) ,the angle has been drilled through..the bolts will have locktight applied when sealing down and copperwashers under the heads..wont leak past them!!
and yes uneven air dis...i have thought about it..but not yet come up with a good solution..but it will involve a baffle to get more air towards rear ports.(which will have to be bolt on,so as i can get to the lower manifold to new upper bolts..).your thoughts??....(my sc outlet is towards front of manifold.)..i wont be using flow bench..you get an idea of the workshop at work..we run plant machinery,sweeper lorries to 22ton diggers..we fix the lot..i am the sparkie (which i am good at...save the boss thousands,just fixing that canbus node in the pic saved him £700,welder (mig),hydrolics and phematics man..workshop main tools are gas cutter..f off hammers,disc cutters..so i will be using my brain to work out what will work..no second chance, need to get it correct first go..
next here is a pic of intake (mk1)it has changeg since this photo,and been fully welded up..now the tb is lower..first 45 goes to 2 more 45's in a s type shape, lowering the tb by 1.5 inches.the straight bit has gone...the intake is held on by 4 bolts that go all the way though it..the bolt holes have a tube welded internally to keep the holes gas tight.ie no air can get in or out via holes wether bolted up or not.
next pic is of sc outlet.
currently it has 2 8mm threads and 4 6mm threads..not good enough to secure sc to upper plate..i intend to enlarge 6mmm threads to 8mm..will this be enough to secure sc down safely? i recon so...if not i can prehaps utilise front upper lugs and rear upper lug and clamp sc down.(not the prefered option!!!!)(see below for lugs)
