Home Made Supercharger System is Finished.....mostly
Well it's all bolted up and the Z runs....I need to get it tuned still.
Fist off I know there are going to be plenty of haters....folks are gonna ask why? Why not buy an ECS or A&A? You should have done it this way or that way. I just want to be clear that I'm not saying this is a better set up than these proven systems and I'm sure my set up has it's short comings and that I'll find this out the hard way over the coming months.
This is not 100% complete, I will be looking at putting an air filter inside of the shroud. Also the airscoop is a little too low and should be no lower than the frame work.
The Following items have been installed
Vortech V2 SQ Si
A2A vertical flow Intercooler
Turbo Smart Blow Off Valve
3" Charge Pipe
Alky Control Meth Injection kit
60lbs Injectors
LPE Walbro Fuel Pump
Kenny Bell Boost a Pump
LPE Battery Relocation Kit
The Brackets, Pullies and Supercharger packaging was designed and machined by a friend of mine that has some serious skills.
The rest of the install was done in a buddies garage. He has a lift, TIG and fabrication skills that I envy.

How fast are you going to spin the blower? When is it hitting the dyno? How long did it take you guys to fab up the bracket? Looks good, looking forward to some results.

Not sure what he calculated it to spin to. We're looking to make around 8-10lbs. We'll see on Saturday when the car gets on the dyno. The brackets were fabbed over a 3 month time period. I started this project in January. With family, work, funding, and the fact that he lives 3 hours away didn't help. So the drawings were done based on a simular system for a 4th gen Camaro and then modified based on my measurements given via email.

Looks VERY professional! You are very fortunate to have friends that can & will help you with a project like this, never let them forget how much you appreciate them, either. My only question at the moment is what is the transverse rail under the radiator/intercooler? That isn't on mine, and I scrape the air dam enough I'd worry having something sticking down that far below the parallel rails. Anyway, very nice job man, can't wait to see the numbers!!!

P.S. More pics of how s/c is bolted on. Did you make a bracket for the s/c'er? How is that held on?

Man... That looks awesome! You are lucky to have friends with those skills who are willing to help. I think it looks very professional for a custom job. Looking forward to more pictures of the bracket setup.

Hey,
Well done!!! I would like information on your air filter. I have always wondered why they did not just put it right on the blower. There is a popular mod on this forum using 4" tubing. Your filter must be a 4" if it fits right on the blower. This is said to be a 5% increase. Can you give me the info on the filter? Where you bought it.....ETC.
Thank you,
Mark G.
