Guilty as Charged: The Supercharger Mega-Thead

[MiataGRL91]

Yes!! Can't wait to get her back on the road. I put 90;000 on her before I started attending shows, I can't wait to put another 90,000 on her. I live next to the mountains so I know I,m going to have some fun!!!!

Looked like this when i got it..... (donor engine & setup) bought it from a salvage yard

Sat in the shed for a while looking like this....

Cleaned it all up a bit...


Basically its all bolted up now, just got to sort out a few bugs in the system. (LHD/RHD issues) my car being RHD it has issues with the AC pipes on the firewall fouling on the intake for the charger.

NICE!!! What kind of power does that setup make?

That IC piping is beautiful. Oh and I love the color you painted your VC as well.

I don't have any pictures of my finished install, I'll post one up when I get home in a month or two.

I'm thinking about getting this setup

http://www.frozenboost.com/product_i...5173433ccf0ec1

to replicate this.

At ~$350 completed I think its a great deal and value. Especially since they claim .1% boost drop from this inter cooler. I'll be running an m45 on a 6lb pulley initially. Then mayyyyyybe pushing 9lbs eventually.

I think its a great idea. I could throw some ice in once in a while for kicks, it'd be fun!

But, where to mount the IC Radiator and fan? I'd really like to have the fan on that radiator as I suspect it would drastically reduce coolant temps.

That's my set up but here's a more recent picture.
I have it set up so that the fan is sandwiched between the IC radiator and the AC condensor. I have a manual switch for the fan but I mostly leave it turned on.
Since this pic was taken I've changed the IC to a type 20 inline one. The type 9 added just enough volume that I was getting idle issues.

Damn, that's a heck of an engine bay. Quick question: is your silicone pipe by the throttle body caved in on purpose?

[djdeluxept]

At idle it sucks in due to the -ve pressure. Once the pressure turns +ve it pops out.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and thought I'd check in. Bought my 94 three years ago. Hope to track it next year. It seems conventional wisdom is, na is best for tracking, but I longed for more power! Bought this setup two years ago and got it running this summer. It's a BRP coldside with a M45. I'm running a power card with a MSD timing control.I'm seeing 8+ lbs with it. Pulls very nicely!

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Very cool! Don't see a coldside SC set up too often, especially on a NA!

[iamdallas]

Mmmmmmm. Cold side goodness!! Looks beautiful!

Made 192 rwhp. Only issue I ever had was the mounting bracket cracked. TDR sent me another one no questions asked.

Thx! Matched the color of the top and seats.




I miss that car... the kid that bought it stripped it back to stock and bought a FMII setup. Said he wanted 300hp in a daily driver. Never got the car tuned and sold it including the turbo setup for less than he paid me for it.
