Actual Supercharger build thread.. Pics inside..

[FASTLLS]

I've been plugging away, slowly but surely.. I've got a few pics to show you guys.. Waiting on the gaskets that someone jacked right off my porch to get here to make sure my measurements are 'precise'..

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

Wow pretty sweet! Any thoughts on your custom hood design?

 

[FASTLLS]

It will be the same idea as the guy that had the reverse scoops..

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

Sweet.

 

[Silver_LS]

Did you have the lower intake manifold's custom made locally?

 

[FASTLLS]

The lower was from a JAG.. the piece on it was made locally..

 

[LeaSr77]

So how much HP will you have once you get it in and finish everything?

 

[FASTLLS]

About the same as Quik..

 

[manoli]

Thats going to be sick!

 

[Alax7]

Nice! Some progress!

 

[PetesSweets86]

cool

 

[FASTLLS]

Quick thought that I need opinions on.. I know Quik had a difficult time finding a belt to fit his so I had an idea but Idk if it will cause too much stress at one point..

I was thinking about taking 2 idler pulleys and welding them together.. Then, running the drive belt on one of the pulleys and the supercharger pulley on the other..

So onto the questions..
1) Will this be too much stress at one point?
2) Is this doable?
3) Would the belt slip a lot on the idler?

Probably not, since holding the concentricity between the two pulleys would be very difficult.

 

[FASTLLS]

That's what I was thinking.. It was just a shot in the dark kinda thought..

 

[Right on the Mark]

You would be adding 2 more places for belt slip.

My cousin asked me about it and I said no then I started thinking about it.. I know that's how the 3800s on the GMs do it but it runs right off the crank and I can't do that..

Finally some pics.

The proper welder will be able to hold concentricity. Offhand, I'd think a proper-sized set of V-blocks would go a long way in helping alignment

On another note, do you have any idea of how much flow there is through your intercooler?

If my calculations are correct, about 260 cfm on each side..

 

[diskfunktional]

This is an awesome build FAST! Cant wait to see this thing on the streets

 

[De-marko]

Cool man!

I don't know why, but for some reason I kept thinking centrifugal when you would post about the S/C.

 

[FASTLLS]

That would have been cool but required a tad more money for flanges..

 

[bigstick1973]

i dont know much about adding a SC to the 3.9 v8. i guess my question would be. is it posible to find a jag 4.0 and use the whole belt/belts system off the jag 4.0? on the 3.9
