supercharger setup pics with one ?

[240cp]

now for the question as you might can see i have mounted the iac and ficd on the plenum is that wrong? i am beginning to think so because on a cold start this car will not hold a idle. this may also be partly do to the 90 degree couplings sucking shut while the car is in vacumm any insight would be a help . also i was thinking on moving the iac and ficd to the intake side of the supercharger cause i think it is giving be a boost leak.

what engine and supercharger did you use i might do that to mine 1989 240sx

[240cp]

its a 95 ka24de i guess you might call it a ka24de-r now and the supercharger is a eaton m62

[1989240sx]

how much did it all cost and do you know the hp rating on it

[240cp]

roughly around 7or 8 hundred dollars but i couldnt really tell you, with all the odds and ends and trips to the parts house to get this and that. id say a grand total of a 1000.00 with the safc2 for fuel control and i am not even using that right now. going to bigger and better with eeprom tuning! as far as horsepower man i think it is somewhere around 200 to230 to the wheels

Chris, if you could make up a list of parts, where you sourced them, and other info so the rest of us could follow your lead I'd appreciate it. I have a 92 'vert that I would like to turbo or supercharge. Your route is very appealing if it isn't too involved. Thanks in advance for any info. JB

freakin amazing!!

alright dude here is what i can think of right off hand but i gone tell ya it involved alot and i mean alot of custom fab work so if you cant afford have you car down for a while might want to think of something a little more simple.

supercharger- eaton m62 from ebay 150.00 shippedintercooler- made by treadstone from ebay 150.00 shippedsr injectors 370cc- ebay 100.00 shippedintercooler piping kit- ebay 90.00 shipped2 peices of 1/4 flat aluminum one cut like the gasket and one like the sc'er bottom sandwiched together so the bypass valve can operate properly.a pulley from the junkyard with flat face no ribs for the idler pulley plenum stock from rossmachineracing.com 24.00 a ft.velocity stacks from rossmahineracing.com 40.00 a peice i think?46 inch belt from advanced auto parts with 2 ribs cut off so it would fiet the stock alternater pulley.i made two mounts for the supercharger front and back to get it level and inline with alternator pulley and used the stock mount for the manifold in the middle. i used the single in place of the double. pull the mani and youll see what im talking about.cut the stock manifold myself so not sure what the measurment are on that.cut the jackbolt off the alternator bracket and drilled hole there so i could mount the idler pulley for the sc'er and use the alternator to tighten the belt.and a custom battery relocate kit to mount it in the trunk.

theres more stuff to cover but for now i think that will get you started also there is a eaiser way to supercharge your 240 just search for the user tloof he has supercharged his frontier using a 240 manifold and also there is a thread on here on how to install a thomas knight supercharger kit. there is no intercooler used in those setups but a much easier install no less. if you have any questions feel free to ask i am always watching the threads i start and thanks for the compliments.

wow

dyno graph please

Thanks for the reply Chris. I checked out the thread by Tloof, it is a clean looking setup. I am not looking for anything radical, and would be happy to have 200 real horsepower at the wheels. I just bought this car as a toy to play with, and it isn't a daily driver (a rear wheel drive convertible in Montana would not be the best choice for primary transportation!). I had a 91 coupe previously, and enjoyed it a lot. It had the 5 speed, and felt a lot more spirited to drive. I don't mind if the car is down for a while to do the induction work, but I don't want to end up with a car that is unreliable and hard to drive (I gave it to my wife, so it has to be able to survive her driving). I have rebuilt the F engine in my older landcruisers, and done plenty of chevy V-8 work, but I have never done any turbo or SC work. I don't want to become an engineer, so I am looking for as simple a setup as possible. From what I have read the supercharger seems a bit simpler than the Turbo setups (although they are much less common, for some reason). I could be totally wrong, but I am leaning towards the supercharger and don't mind paying a bit to get a reliable, clean setup that works. Thanks again for the info. Now back to the search button. J

guitarcrazy if you dont mind your car being down for awhile then i recomend trying sc'er setup however you go, like mine or like tloof and the others that have went that route. as far as reliability and ease to drive well you can have that with the supercharger. when im just cruising i cant tell it has a supercharger at all. im not gone lie though, the idea of supercharging a car is much simpler than turbo but giving that there are no kits for supercharging a 240sx it is not. companies have pretty much figured everything out for our 240's as far as turbo goes. giving you have a history in mechanics you should'nt have a real prob with doing something like have done. if you would like to try it i would be happy to give you ideas and tell you how i set mine up good luck!

sorry man i dont have access to a dyno but the power feels somewhere around 200 to 230 to the wheels and is ALOT MORE FUN now!!
