Mike84 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Some pics of how the supercharger mounting fits along with the tensioner Pretty tight but it all fits , took abit of sussing out but hopefully it all works. Decided to use a landrover belt tensioner along with a slotted hole where it mounts. Which will hopefully allow me to keep the tension correct once the belts stretch / wear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike84 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Purchased a new forge 44mm external wastegate for a bargain price , that should hopefully do for bleeding off boost. So boost pressures can be controlled via ecu😁 Kind of found a space on inlet I can mount it as wasnt keen mounting it on boost pipes. As it weighs a ton , but this lead to having to now make a remote reservoir for brakes. To give clearance for wastegate🤦♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mycars12 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I dont know anything about superchargers so I find that wastegate placement very odd lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike84 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 BMW intercooler mounted ✅ After lots of thinking , managed to get it fitted with as short a route on hotside as possible. This was mounted on thin wall tube and hung off rubber bobings. Then a lick of black to stealth it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I know its the first time I've commented on your thread but I don't want you to go to all this effort and time/money.......Are you sure you want the wastegate that side of the throttle body? I see something going wrong there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I see something going wrong there. I'm not sure to be honest I see what your saying but I'm hoping it works the same as I'm basically only using it to introduce a controlled boost leak . So to be able to control what boost I'm wanting to run. There will be a dump valve other side of throttle body to bypass at idle Kind of makes sense to me I think lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I'm thinking more idle and deceleration the vacuum created in the manifold can be upto -1bar I've seen mine at 0.8bar that could possibly suck the valve open causing a juddering effect when decelerating as the valve opens and closes with the vacuum increasing and decreasing. Its only in theory as I've never seen it done before suppose there is only one way to find out. I hope it works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Keep them updates coming. The screw type superchargers or roots type are crazy efficienct and don't require a intercooler. Superchargers are hard to beat. SPRINTEX Edited September 28, 2020 by Sam44 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike84 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Amazing the time it takes to mount an oil cooler 😆 But finally supercharger oil cooler mounted along with radiator and new removable slam panel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mycars12 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 What rad is that? Looks like it's dual core? I'm currently running a triple core civic half rad and looking for more cooling. That's a lovely setup you got going on. Everything seems simple and well done. You going to run a thermostatic plate for the oil cooler? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The oil cooler is actually for the supercharger oil system and doesn't need a thermostatic plate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was just curious since it's a nicely sized radiator. We don't really got parts for that car here in the states. Reason I asked is because you don't want the oil cooler to be working before the oil warms up. Especially on cooler days it might never get up to operating temp but that's just my 2 cents bro.

Sam44 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Really nice and neat quality work. How much are the cams costing and ho are doing them?. Please I'm building a 5e on a gt17 Garrett but I might go SPRINTEX on it and need some higher rpm powered cams. Edited October 17, 2020 by Sam44 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellybaby Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 great build and gave me some ideas on how to mount my custom intercooler and rad by doing something like ya self etc if ya dont mind pm me where ya got the items from please if thats ok ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers I would need to check price of cams , not cheap went for Ivan Tighe cams. 254 duration basically almost the same as 5efhe just slightly more lift and duration.

I might want a few sets. so we could see if a discount is possible. thanks for your reply and help. ive not managed to find any specs on the 5ehfe units and it would save me time.
