Hopefully January A lot to come together before then , engine is getting machined just now . But waiting for new guides for head hopefully this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fixed boost based on pulley size, or will you be adding a bypass to regulate boost to your desired target? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers The charger pulleys are sized to spin the charger just below it's maximum input speed at rev limit. Then there is an external 44mm wastegate welded to intercooler hot side , which I'm hoping to use to bleed off boost to desired level . Along with the possibility of boost by gear . Well that's the plan 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike84 Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Just the manifold to piece back together now after being tig welded from a friend that does all my tig welding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike84 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 A bit more progress involving the machining of a new crank pulley , I decided to use a oe Toyota single rib crank pulley 13470-11030 as i have no power steering . Also this crank pulley has a 4 bolt fitting allowing me to utilise these for a custom pulley. Luckily I have good friends that own a machine shop . Who made a new crank pulley to my diameter after working out the size using a 95mm supercharger pulley. This should spin the charger at just below max input speed @ 7500rpm limit. There will be some cut outs machined into pulley at a later date before balancing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike84 Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 More goodies arrived , engine is currently having crank assembly balanced . Also block has been bored to match pistons and surfaced. Head is currently with Liam at Lc_porting working his magic , who will also be doing porting of the inlet manifold.

Mike84 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Bit more progress first mock up of supercharger to determine exact position and to trial fit to engine in car also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Will that pulley fit in the engine bay? I had a pulley from an AE86 (was mis-sold it from Fensport) and it was a few mm bigger than stock. Consequently, it did not fit in the engine bay. Looking sweet though.

Cheers Its tight pulley just fits already trial fitted it bit will need to either make it a rib less to allow for movement or relieve chassis leg slightly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
azerty Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I've been thinking of supercharger for few reasons in the past. I will follow this built with big interest 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike84 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Updates been pretty lacking but I have been working slowly but surely in the back ground. Somewhat snowballing with new intercooler and radiator setup aswell now🙄 Mainly to try to save weight and make it easier to repair if the inevitable ever happens Anyhow some overdue picture hoaring Quote Link to post Share on other sites
