Thats the idea :)

 

90 Degree bend on the TB lengh of pipe then an angled peice to send another lengh of pipework strait into the old battery location, Then a long pipe coming from the front of the car (or maybe even a catch pipe below the car coming up) then maybe rear bonnet lifters to get a whole load of air caught in there :)

Believe me, with my exhaust system, and a coned (And sheided) filter it roars anyway! lol but it will probably raw alot more being right below the screen and right next to the heater matrix :P lol

 

Cant wait to get the ECU etc in tommorow and take it down the strip :D lol.

So it will fill up the gap some :) I need to begin preperation for stage 2 of the sleeper project :) I've got to begin building a mounting point for the supercharger, I've decided it's going to be nicely hidden away in the HUGE cavity under the inlet manifold (Behind the engine) so nobody will ever know shes down there! lol

cant wait to see it supercharged. looking good so far

 

 

supercharged zetec is it possible???? never seen/ heard of this before....

I was thinking of doing the same/similar thing as you dan, but im guessing you have an empty morette to feed the "Cool Zone", How would i get a directly forced air intake into that area without a front bonnet scoop/vent, which will cause major drag.

Hope you like todays progress i can confirm she is now running like a bloody charm in comparison to last night, it cost me £15 worth of fuel todo 7 miles this morning running it on the 1.6 ECU as the EGR Valve was constantly closed, meaning only 2 cyl's worth of exhaust fumes were actually getting released, im guessing the thing is MAJOR blocked up now, so im off to furrows to enquire about blanking lugs to remove the EGR Setup from the Manifold.

 

It's only 14:38 so there will probably be more updates this evening including a fully working engine video, maybe an "On the Move" video and obviously more pics of todays progress :)

 

I'm off to VW now to pickup my new power roof mechanism to get that working again too :)

 

how about making a VERY small angled scoop of some description on the scuttle panel to feed said area instead of having pipes everywhere? could make one for the otherside too to match up nicely....

 

Hmm that does sound interesting, will get pics tonight and photoshop it, as i've just bought a Carbon Fiber Scuttle Panel and will be nice n easy to cut & modify :)

looking good mate.

 

is it sensible having the supercharger BEHIND the engine? surely its one of the hottest places, dont you want it where its going to be coolest?

 

what bhp you aiming for? im guessing your stripping/rebuilding the engine to cope with the extra power?

just thinking actually.... does the scuttle go ABOVE or behind the battery area? i've forgotten....another idea could be outward pushed louvres (acting like a scoop) on the bonnet feeding into that area...... smashin idea thouh - never heard/seen anybody mention it before Edited by geordie_aaron
