5e colin Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 indeed and they aint cheap like a tdo4 tuby :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl. Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 sure bout that? 100% Sure yes. The compressed air is pretty much multiplied depending on the size of the pulley when it comes out of the turbo. Makes sense once you think about it really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) spens all freaking weekend fitting the charger in the altenator spot it fits but my acis wont fit anymore !!!! and i cant go lower with the charger either !!!! so she has to go upfront :( :( there is no way i am going to delete my acis mani :) well see how that works out with the 4efte oilfilter location housing Edited January 21, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Haha, nice. I'm keeping my eyes peeled on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 do wont be long so i tryed bolting the charger on and i didnt like the angle of the charger ( to much forward ) so i fitted studs and spacer on the plate to bring bottom out more much better but i want more so going to for even longer studs so charger sits strait i still have clearance to the crossmember :) by the look of things i might clear the oilfilter to because it slopes to passo side of tha car yay nice 1lets hope luck is on my side and its far enough out so i can ( maybe ) raise the charger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 so raised the alt bracket 2 inch and got rid of the 2inch studs sits waaay better thats a good nip and tuck :) i moked up the oil filter with a coke can cut to lenght and clears by 10mmgoing to use the alt adjuster bracket as a simple adjuster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 bolted the charger to my car ( unconnected ) and went for a spin checking speedbumps for clearances and there fine :) took a quick snap of misstress while i was at it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 thanks ethan today i made some more changes sinds i found out the thread size today of our oil filters i can use the very slimline 1 from an r5 gt turbo so i will be able to rotate the charger a lot more . i will have to clear some of the aircon bracket to allow it to rotate more doing so will open up a lot of room bottom of the bracket is sorted and spaced out to the mm just need to cut of the unused bottom section i made the top supporting bracket with the old alt adjuster worked wel just need to cut the L bar to size on the end tomorow with the angle grinder going to buy a r5 filter and see how far it will allow me to go then i can mark the aluminium pipe from the sc12 so top end fases strait up for the topmount and get that welded up so wont be long now before i can hear the charger whiiiineeee :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) its a tight squeeze in there !!! but it works and by the look of it my vf10 turbo kit will clear to if i fit a custom oil return !!! by the look in the bay alignment is spot on to of the charger pully the charger intake pipe is going to need some trimming to fit inthere not much room on crossmember ground clearance is good to the charger isnt lower then the sump :) i am going to leave the excess metal on it to protect the charger just incase the charger boost pipe comes out in the front grill atm could be usefull or a pain ha ha thats it for now got to buy a belt and do the switch for the clutch and get some welding done but am broke again atm :( if i found a suitable smaller oilfilter i might get away with the intake pipe on the crosmember Edited January 30, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 could not fit the top bracket with the oil filter so i adjusted it to fit with the stock oil filter got to love the l shaped bars there so handy i always knew my polo rear bush spacers would come in handy someday this is the end result its a keeper ha ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 my final goal is this below >>>>> wait for it >>>>> almost there dam it common so this is my setup i have bean working on guys :) :) twin charge time im not far off attal now guys !!!! what i still need doing is bolt on the 90% intake bracket from the vf10 and get the charger pipe rotated towards it at that angle and join with a silicone hose ( 50mm ) then my turbo outlet faces kinda upwards to the slam panel thats where my renault 5 gt turbo alloy intercooler will be placed ( anyone that knows what they look like will know what i say next ) from that same spot im going strait to the starlet oem topmount for extra cooling :) OOO and al this will be controlled by digital rpm switches and my pfc fcon with bigger injectors :) on and off of the charger clutch will be the hi lo boost button i think not sure yet cheers 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Your car so build it how you want but my opinion/advise would be to forget the OEM top mount, a mate of mine did some proper testing with temp sensors and the OEM top mount is pretty much useless.I would just use a decent front mount as you normally would on a tuned 4EFTE. Assuming you want to use the supercharger at low RPM and then switch it off once the turbo takes over, it might take a bit of working out but if you got an electronic throttle body off a newish car to use as a diverter valve, you might be able to wire it up so that it's activated by boost or rpm and automatically switches the supercharger off and opens the diverter valve. Also those pipes off the supercharger look like they're in awkward positions for getting pipes in there, it might be worth getting some flanges made with a custom inlet/outlet to suit your pipes.

5e colin Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 thanks for the TB tip will look into it never thought about it the charger pipes wel ya some headscratching to do first ha ha its the 1 on the filter thats the real tight spot in my eyest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 what i really like to do is fit a bypass valve inthere that works under boost normally open and when charger starts boosting it closes the valve any recomendations guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
