greenson Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 on my mothers life my sport clocks read 130 on the way to uni m6, inbetween j12 and j13, me and my mate in the car only time i ever maxxed it out, went into the limiter.Clocks obv not comp accurate tho.Shame about ur loop mate, hope it comes back phatter and phastersame here, not 130, but certainly wasnt far off, just bouncin off the limiter!

Rich Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 is there enough clearance between the charger and the head for an exhaust manifold? what about the heat from the exhaust? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUB JIMBOB Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yeah using custom brackets for the charger, the ones in the pick are only going to be used as templates, still not mounted properly as waiting for my raceland manifold, shrik sent me an 8v not 16v, but was very helpful and now have a 16v on the way.Im going to rap the manifold in heat wrap probs, so the charger does'nt get to hot from the manifold.I did have a pulley made to drive the altternator and stuff with a seperate pulley just for the charger, but was to much hastle keeping the belt tight, so im now running the belt str8 off standard pulley with another pulley put in for the belt to the charger.

CasperGTI Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I did have a pulley made to drive the altternator and stuff with a seperate pulley just for the charger, but was to much hastle keeping the belt tight, so im now running the belt str8 off standard pulley with another pulley put in for the belt to the charger.Wheres the drive for the charger coming from? off the alternator? or something else? If its coming off the alternator.. what are you doing there? running two pullys side by side? one from the engine and one for the drive to the charger? is there enough room between the chassis and the end of the alternator for that?Ive always wondered how it was accomplished.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUB JIMBOB Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 No im running the charger str8 off the origional crank pulley which then goes round all it usual bits, ie alternator and then upto the charger,had to put another pulley in placeto keep the belt tight in all the rite places.
