I will apologise in advance..... this is another LONG reply from me...
I'm sure we all like pictures though
Okay. First thing's first. THIS is what an SC12 supercharger looks like. Note the code cast into the casing above the outlet side. (this is actually the inlet side on a 4AG motor, the SC is run in reverse on a mini.)
The tube with the yellow wing nut is the dipstick. This gets removed and replaced with a short one (long one hits the manifold). I started polishing the back of mine... whole lot will be like this eventually
BELOW x3 - This is what it all looks like when fitted. Much easier to see without the radiator there....
BELOW - My supercharger has a modified pulley - the clutch has been removed and the drive has been locked with a custom mounting plate. I might use the cluch at a later date. My finger is pointing to the tension pulley adjusment bolt. Easy to get to when all assembled.
BELOW x3 - you can see where the carb will sit in relation to the blower.
BELOW - Yep, the back is polished. Pity I cant hold my hand still
... The carb will be right THERE
BELOW - The engine stabiliser bar goes between the pulley and the radiator, over the belt, and uses the subframe tower bolts as mounting points.
BELOW - These 2 lugs need to be completely removed to help clear the bonnet. They are not needed.
BELOW - The bottom lugs are kept. They are used to stabilise the tension pulley arm.
BELOW x2 - the exhaust manifold will require a little surgery to fit. The inlet manifold mounting flanges use the whole bolt to locate the supercharger and keep it SQUARE to the drive belt.
Finally, there is LOTS of room between my crank pulley and the engine mount. At least 12mm gap here.
Yeah, so there you go. Lots of polishing for me to do now.... and I might make a couple small modifications to the setup..... Pity I dont have a motor in my shell to give you some bulkhead clearance photos.... maybe someone will beat me to it.
And before anybody asks.... NO that is not the head I will be using. Just a crappy 998 Smog head on there for photo puposes - my 12G940 $$$$ head is not ready yet.... This engine (1310) is yet to be stripped down for a full rebuild / diff change / pot joints / maybe straight cut gears / new paint, etc etc.... I have a bad feeling the rings on cylinder 3 are not looking too good.....
So thats what I did on my long weekend - I had some fun playing with my toys. Didnt even go out the front gate ONCE this weekend
yes A COUPE!
Everyone wants to supercharge.
but it has 4 Mounting ports (Not requied for Mini)
