Back boosting again :)
Back boosting again :)

Unfortunately I didn't take many pics, just got stuck in instead. But here's my work list:
1. Cut the header heatshield so that it no longer hits against the supercharger
2. Fully clean the engine bay as there's all kinds of metal shavings and stuff floating about in there.
3. Clean the radiator and rad fans as they are covered in sticky white stuff (coolant)
4.Mount new Supercharger....

One thing that really annoyed me with the previous install was that straight out of the supercharger outlet it hit a 45deg bend, then a 30deg bend in the other direction. So I rotated the supercharger volute slightly and managed to get it to line up perfectly with anothe rpipe below. This allowed me to use 30cm of 4ply to join the two in a straight line. Totally eliminating all bends:

5. I'm also getting a bit tired of blue, so I started wrapping some of the cables in black or stainless steel braid:

For anyone who wants blue stuff (tubes, hose, wire...etc) let me know as I'm going to be selling a lot of it shortly.
Took the car out for a quick drive at about 4pm once I'd finished and MAAAAAAAN is it good to be boosting again. Highest I've hit so far was 12.9PSI, but that was with the car in 'D' and no sports mode so it was shifting gears lower down the RPM range.
So I started at 11am this morning with the eye to doing everything properly and sorting out all the niggles I had from my previous supercharger install.

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:All very good mate. I like the bend eliminating. I think it's your new rad that is more likely to get white sticky stuff on it when it arrives! :lol:
