Project: DIY Supercharger
sprinter2012 This is why I want to keep it minimal, I'm not into the whole Fast and Furious cover my dashboard in gauges look. I just want to see the important stuff, obviously AFR is top priority, and being able to see the boost would be useful mostly just so I can spot if anything comes loose and starts leaking air out.
EDIT: That AEM guage I linked to can also be set to trigger an output if the AFR goes outside set parameters. Could be linked to a relay that turns off the charger or whatever else would be good for it to do.
And what's wrong with gauges all over the dashboard!

haha, if I was running well over 400hp off a red hot turbo that's as big as my engine I'd want more gauges too! Bit overkill for me any my little supercharger though.

which means he is going to sell me the original TTE cradle on it's own!I'm letting him hang onto it for a bit longer while he tries to get it copied for some of his own forum members before he ships it over. But it will at some point be arriving at my door
Also, Ormi gave me a brilliant idea for getting the pipework done at JAE...he suggested I get the kit fitted (charger, intercooler, inlet pipe etc.) and then take it to an exhaust builder like Powerflow and just say, "can you join all this up with some stainless pipe please?"
And as long as it doesn't take too long, I could always get them to make 2 or 3 sets using my setup as a template to sell on to members on here who are either starting from scratch on an SC build, or maybe who have already made themselves a kit, but want to swap it to one with more hard pipes?
So for that stage I'll need to have made the inlet/outlet flanges for the SC, but I've already drawn up the parts I need to be laser cut. Luckily I can bolt it all to the duff charger I got off Rob to get the pipework done, then once I have the pipes, I can buy myself a functioning charger and away we go!

20-08-2020, 06:50 PM #58Well, progress is being made on the cradle front. Not physical progress yet, but things are moving in the right direction. I've been speaking with a nice guy from EuroLOC who has an accident damaged IS200 SC, unfortunately the accident wrote off half the supercharger kit (how inconvenient...:presents1 which means he is going to sell me the original TTE cradle on it's own!
