I have an aluminum plate that you can mount on top of the cylinder deck and perform a leak down test without the heads. I used it to verify compression on my engine. You are welcome to borrow it if you need it.
Chris Paris' nitrous was run from the back of the seat under the console and into the engine bay through an existing hole near the brake booster. From there it was run along the top of the firewall inside the plastic cable channel and under the spare battery tray to the intake. The line was...
Not much progress lately Dan. Machinist got some lower pulley adapters made for me so now I need to get the supercharger pulley lined up and figure out where it will sit on the top plate. Once that is figured he can start machining the top plate. I am also having a different bottom end built...
Inlet tubes are twin 4". My bottleneck will be the 105mm throttle body. Whipple makes a larger oval shaped TB but so far I have been unable to get them to sell me the TB to supercharger adapter for it. I will try the smaller TB for now and see how badly the supercharger starves for air.
My machinist has done all of this work as he has time between other projects which does require some patience but he is also only charging me about 1/3 what it should costs.
Will be using either stock hood or the older style JTSVP hood. Airbox will sit right on top of the supercharger and...
A little more progress. Mocked up the blower on the old top plate and got it positioned in the area where it will sit. This supercharger sits farther forward than the old unit so I may get lucky with cowl clearance at the rear. The new top plate will be 3/4" thick so I can get a good cavity...
Picked up the bottom half of the manifold today. Next step will be to finish the dual belt setup and figure out the placement of the supercharger. After that the machinist will build the top plate.
Here are the 5 pieces that make up the bottom manifold. The only original Roe Racing pieces...
Not sure yet but fairly certain that it will not clear in the rear without either lowering the motor or modifying the cowl area. I could move the supercharger forward enough to clear but I think that would cause to many distribution issues having the SC dump at the very front of the intake.
