Interest in Supercharger setup - Page 10

lol he called it a windscreen.. crazy English.. Nice pic though. .. i dont have a rear washer.. but i might use the rear outlet for one side and the front outlet for the other... that would be kinda funky. When i get my car back tomorow i'll take a look at it.
Edit: I want as much free space in the engine bay as possible... Everything that can be relocated to the trunk or removed, will be. It makes for a much cleaner looking engine bay.

The bracket should be finalized tonight. As far as the windshield washer tank you should be able to put it anywhere like shagmonkey's as long as you have a pump and the space for it. It isn't a critical item so I won't be including that. I'll try to include a coolant tank.

Wait. will the Stock coolant tank still work on the drivers side of the engine bay though? or will there be no room for it there either? If it fits on the drivers side You could make a new tank that fits at the stock location an option for your kit.

you would need a mirror of the tank (left/right) in order to make it work without modifying other parts of the car. And that's just to accomodate the inlets/outlets on the tank.

Coolant tank will most likely be a smaller version in the same stock location made out of aluminum.

I went over the final bracket design last night and it seems to be coming along well. We will be using the stock engine mount bracket (shaved down a rib on one side). The supercharger bracket will bolt down on top of it and have a slot for the power steering line to fit through. I really wanted a two piece bracket or to keep the stock engine mount bracket so we didn't have to support the engine every time we wanted to remove the supercharger like I have to on the TK kit. There will also be a pivot point for belt tension adjustment with an adjustment screw. The final drawing will be finished before lunch today and then they will start building 5 of them and hopefully be done in a week or two.

As far as the compressor outlet piping I may have to have a custom piece welded onto the end of the oulet so we can get it to go through the windshield washer tank hole nicely or it will just require some cutting and a 90 degree bend that will aim it down into the frame rail/fender well.

Have you set out some sort of price range for this kit yet? I'm just wondering if it will come close to the price of Thomas Knights kit?

Blackcoog · 10-19-2006, 09:22 AM

As stated earlier in this thread it will be over $2500 but I'm not sure how much over. It depends on the accesories needed and the cost of the final bracket.
