Bike carbs arrived, supercharger on its way!
 

Having attended this year Dragstalgia event at Santa pod and seeing a Mk1 escort running a silvertop zetec with an M45 supercharger bolted on the side, I was inspired!

I will update my blog when I have started fabricating the intake, mounts etc.....

I got some throttle bodies off a late ZX10R with TPS. However I have now realised the ECU I was going to use (from chester sportscars) does not require a TPS and is really for bike carbs.

TBH I have little knowledge on ECUs, so some advice would be appreciated!

I should also add, I have the crank position sensor and flywheel already from the 2.0 zetec. So I would not require a timing gear etc...

I hope your joking about the super charger, your boss will cut your you know what's off

Haha, no pal, not joking it is on its way in the post!Will be awesome when its done, but give myself a whole load more to do!

Then you had better order some incontenance pads then, adrenalin is brown

Arfon

And runny....:eek:

haha thanks guys!

Looking around there seem to be plenty of ECU's. Megasquirt etc.... As long as its got fuel injectors and boost I think it should be ok. Just gotta figure out how it all wires up!:eek: But I am sure it will make sense when I get that far!

haha thanks guys!

Supercharger now arrived I will have a look at it 2moz!

they are paying you to much matey

I dont understand the need for the throttle bodies if its going to have a blower fitted. A standard manifold with a single throttle body would do the same job.

I could be wrong but I don't think I would get this performance from the standard manifold and injection. But this is what I am aiming for:

lots of programable ecu's could control it if you have the right hardware to start with.

if you had itb's with boost you need to pick somthing that has the algorithms to support calculating load for this you may need to even use blended tuning.

megasquirt 2 and 3 has whats needed in the code base

Great thanks baz-r!

Well i think you will soon be putting a match to your driving license soon after you complete your build, aint you lucky old Brundstrom has lost his job.


Arfon

haha! I will be taking my time going slow like all roadster builders :rolleyes: ;)

Thats it then license out of the window

Ha ha Arfon
