Hi. Here's a brief run down of the supercharger build I did. Full details can be found on the z22se.co.uk forums

Some things arrived from USA ebay..






broken during transit... need a new one

[rik]

More stuff..

Charge cooler radiator


Water pump


Painted


Dual pass end plate for added cooling (from zzperformance.com)


Fitting



Modified 100amp alternator (the method we used to fit the 120 with the 2.4).. very little clearence still!


SC on just for show.. main water pipe needs extending


horrible holes that need to be made to push the cc rad pipes to.. one low to push them through (I attached the tube to copper pipe and shoved it through) needs some tidying up with a file and something to line the hole so it doesnt wear through the hoses


and one high up for them to come out of (you need to get your hand inside the sill from the cabin)

[rik]

through the radiator housing


Fuel pipes need moving and water pipe needs extending






Header tank for charge cooler



Plumbing.. what a mess




Alignment bungs from courtenays (LSJ head must have M8 holes.. we have M6, so these make sure it's centered)



Idler pulley from courtenays

[rik]

It bolts onto the outside bolts of the alternator (longer bolts supplied by courtenays)


Injectors changed to Z20LET type (bosch type connectors)


Wiring..


Fuel pipes/belt on




ECU and air filter


Almost done

So far so good. How much did it cost and what does it run like?

Top work!

[MaDFreeBiRD]

good stuff that man! I too would be VERY interest to know the details

[rik]

haven't taken it for a run yet.. i'd love to but these icy roads are definately not the place to do it The engine started first time and runs really nicely

[vocky]

well done

Itching to get mine together now Have all relocated the ECU, done all the wiring, swapped back to standard cams, had the rocker cover powdercoated, just waiting for the actual supercharger and manifold from Courtenay! Next couple of days hopefully! I've even got the blower cams, rods and Harrop supercharger already for the stage 3...

[Jameshs]

What does stage 3 give you?

[rik]

What does stage 3 give you?

Over 300bhp we're hoping

[Jameshs]

Any chance you could give me a price breakdown of what this conversion cost?

[siztenboots]

What does stage 3 give you?

Over 300bhp we're hoping

not on original internals , or at least not for long

[rik]

I spent £1650 on the parts, including timing + balance shaft chain changes £330 was the superchager + manifold from USA. You could be able to do it for £1200 minimum if you didn't bother with the chains and the dual pass plate etc..

What does stage 3 give you?

Over 300bhp we're hoping

not on original internals , or at least not for long

(new internals are needed)

Good work Rik, you will have to show me sometime! Did you lower the compression by using a thicker head gasket and did courtenays remap the existing ECU, or did you fit a piggyback? You've got me thinking now.......
