[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps..Just dropped delilah off for her second part of surgery..Im having the EPS pump fitted..The race alternator fitted to the N/S of the engine..The accumulator fitted...Unleaded and lowered compression heads fitted..Payen gaskets fitted..An air induction kit with a proper K&N filter instead of the mesh crape one that i have at the moment..The Amethyst ignition system and lastly the supercharger..All that's left now is the interior..Hood...Wheels refurbed and a full stainless exhaust system..Cant wait...Cheers..Ziga

Well ant Delilah in for a surprise when she wakes up be a bit like me trading the misses in for Christina Aguilera, lease yours is gonna happen Mark good luck mate, cheers, Ralph

[mrzigazaga]

Cheers guy's..Hopefully there will be no surprises..I had a rebuilt low mileage V6 cologne fitted a little while ago so that should be ok..The main thing with a supercharger is making sure all the heads fit flat and good quality gaskets are used..And of course a strong healthy engine to start with is a must..I have instructed the garage to take pics of every little thing..They know me by now anyway so they probably wont get much done due to all the picture taking..
Ralph..You do make me laugh mate..Better watch the missus dont catch you saying that or you might end up with a fox supper......Cheers...Ziga

Mark,

What are you doing for fuel enrichment? And out of interest what CR are you aiming for?

Hi Chris..The blower is set up to run low boost which i think is somewhere between 4-6psi, This set up was to run on a standard V6 cologne with no mods to fuel/Air and compression...I have had the heads worked to lower the compression to avoid any detonation but im not to sure what the CR is until i chat to him..I have used an ignition system called AMETHYST which utilises the existing dizzy..It also has a MAP sensor which im connecting to the plenum servo manifold instead of a check valve or drilliing the inlet manifold..It contains maps for various set ups for V6 engines and is also programmable..I have an adjustable WUR even though the all are in a sense when mine was refurbed it was done with the blower in mind..Im hopimg it will all go smoothly...Cheers...Ziga

Well Zig, get in ya little froggy buzz box and take some pics to post, we are all waiting.
It's been discussed a LOT and now it's actually happening. Well done and good luck with it.

With your current exhaust note and the whine from the supercharger, it is going to sound fk out of this world..........can't wait to hear it mate

Oh, and it should fk fly too

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps..Well i have been at the garage helping out with things for the last couple of days..The unleaded/Lowered compression heads are fitted..The stainless manifolds are on..The race alternator needed a bracket fabricated to fit it on the N/S..The belt tensioner for the blower that was supplied was the wrong one..we tried a pinto one on there and it fitted perfectly so the wheel had to be press out and the one i had pressed in as the pinto one was too small..The pipework for the blower is being routed round the front instead of behind the plenum..The EPS pump has been fitted in front of the rad on the plate that is below the rad..The washer bottle is fitted that i had cut down as it was too big..The ignition system is being fitted and the electrics are being done tomorrow..The only downside is that a couple of silicone reducers are having to be made and they wont be ready until wednesday..So looks like im stuck with the pishpot for a little longer...Cheers...Ziga

Looking good ziga, should be fun when it is finished.

Hi Mark
Wow coming along nicely mate and looking good, shame about the delay, but well worth the wait, cant wait to here the beasty running, cheers, Ralph

[wooly350i]

You'll be turning chinese with all those g's smacking against ya eyeballs ziggadoo.

[Rockettvr]

Coming along nicely Zig. Bet Delilahs voice will sound sweet once she's out of the op. can't wait to hear it. Hope she's all sorted soon mate. Must just say I admire the dedication you've put in on the girl and for sticking to your guns to go the supercharged route- many would have taken the simpler path of selling up and buying a bigger engined beast ( me included!) so good on ya

[jon haines]

Cant wait to hear that at wedge fest, its really taking shape.

[Jonny weggie]

Looking very good Mark, i wish you all the best. Just hope it doesnt come out wearing a new Ford Capri wrap on,lol.

Looking good mate, can't beat a good blow job
