[QUOTE="krish, post: 749730, member: 2903"] Woah guys, sorry for dropping off this thread but was busy getting married among other things! I went ahead and got a set of prints for that supercharger design that Hyde from NZ developed (M52supercharged.wordpress now known as hydemotorworks link here [URL="https://hydemotorworks.com/"]https://hydemotorworks.com/[/URL] . He's done good work, very detailed, exact measurements and everything fit as it should. I ended up laser cutting the brackets out of stainless steel plate :), managed to source an SC14 from mudah, and finished the whole thing just last month in fact (over a course of 6 months mainly working evenings).Among the things I had to do was to remove the power steering pump and bracket, fit the SC bracket then bolt the PS pump back on. Also relocate the power steering fluid container, redirect some water hoses. I also had to remove the viscous fan and fitted a thermo switch controlled electric fan as per Hyde's directions. Mixed feelings on the results. She's got a fair bit more go now but think there should be more available once I get a proper tune down. Any one know of anyone who can flash tune the DME MS41? I suspect fueling is low. I'm only running around 5 psi of boost but even then....best to check and see. A lot more grunt but downside is that supercharger is noisy. Probably won't notice it as much in a 3 or 5 especially with a performance exhaust I guess, but the 7 is/was serene :) . cheers, Kris [/QUOTE]
