Have just finished the first part of my supercharger installation. The bends may be a bit restrictive, but theres not much room between the manifold and firewall. Unfortunately the holden supercharger bends the wrong way but I bought cause it was cheap($380). Hopefully next week I'll add all the hoses and fittings and soon after have it all fitted up. All up I'm hoping to have it installed for about $1700, surely theres not much better bang for buck about. Heres the piccys so far

Hopefully this week I'll have all the hose fittings, bypass actuator, cold start injector attached and get it all painted ready for installation next week. If all goes well it will be in the car in the next 2 weeks

Well its all in but unfortunately the manifold must have a slight warp as the supercharger is making an offensive sucking noise. So its gunna have to come off and try to flatten it out a little. Heres how it looks anyway

Got the manifold leak fixed tonight, so its all working fine. A little bit of detonation around 6000rpm. so I have to install the rising rate fuel pressure reg. Its goes very nice now, but still have a few little things to sort out. By the weekend it will be all sorted. Its hard to tell the power increase because the power comes on very smooth and it really doest feel like its acccelerating very fast until you look down at the speedo. Very happy with the initial results

Not many dynos in Katherine. Will have to get it to Darwin to get it on a dyno and that wont be anytime soon. Have a few friends who have had their cars dynoed, I'll see how quick it is compared to theres, will get a ballpark idea at least

I'm getting a little bit of detonation after 5000rpm so I need to fit a rising rate fuel pressure reg. I have a vortech FMU rising rate fuel reg and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some adapters/fittings to fit it to the factory fuel reg with the banjo fitting. Hopefully that and the 98 octane fuel will sort out the detonation
