Hi Geoff, the practice certainly helped :mrgreen:

.

Yes there are plans for an air to water intercooler later this year as I need to get stuck into the NC. The intercooler installation will be done in conjunction with a coolant reroute kit that I'm working on. This will provide the necessary space between the radiator and the front of the engine for the heat exchanger.

Cheers,
Danny

yeah it looks like the nose pulley that's good for an extra psi, so with the upgraded belt tensioner it should be around 7psi - 67.5mm is standard & 62.5mm is the one for a bit of extra boost.

Looks like a BR Performance pulley which is 62.5mm. If your crank pulley is standard then you'll be right at the supercharger's max rpm at redline and should be making 7 psi.

A couple of questions for you guys. I've just measured the nose pulley on my JR and it's 78.76 mm diameter, with a standard bottom pulley, what boost should I be making, and what size pulley do I need to spin the S/C to max rpm?

Er, take no notice I 've just read the thread properly, see above post.....duh

Nice air box. I'd love something like that myself.

Loving all these Supercharged 5s.

I found some old pics.. seems appropriate to put them up here

Max about 0.85bar on stock engine makes 165kW@wheels (Performance MetalCraft)

It's all good with the DPI.

Long time no see with the old pixola mobile. I have always loved that car, it along with the original gurglr were the two MX5s I always wanted mine to be like back in the day.

I've got a build thread in "garage chat" if you want in depth.

T25g on stainless steam pipe manifold

3inch exhaust

pwr cooler

160 rwkw @ 10psi

Took a couple of shots over the weekend :

Its Dmags old Clubman, a real beauty.

Engine:
1.8 with full AVO kit
GT28 Ball bearing turbo
AVO Manifold
AVO Dump
AVO intercooler
Custom made 2.5" exhaust / Stock Cat 2.5in Flanged
Turbosmart Boost controller
Turbosmart BOV
RR Fuel pressure Regulator
Walbro fuel pump
360 cc GTX injectors
Air intake temp sensor
Link G4 Storm ECU
50mm Cooling pro Radiator

Power circa 150rwkw at 10psi

I have picked up some 550cc injectors and will be putting in a Metalcat and getting it retuned soon to run 12psi. I know the next restriction is the AVO downpipe, but im going to leave it in place. gotta stop some where.......

I am really keen to get some thoughts with regards to the Air Intake, up to a genuine 180rwkw DD Shootout mode level is it worth messing around with Cold Air feed given the NA's limited space and that the car is a turbo.....and that air is going to be superheated pre combustion anyway...and is there a noticeable difference on spool / response on a longer intake tract?

Looking good Rob - not sure if you saw this 3 page thread from just over a year ago: CAI and Forced Induction ... waste of time? viewtopic.php?f=81&t=33931
