Have you made any progress with the diff yet? Summers coming man, get into gear and get that thing sorted lol.
Are you running an front mounted intercooler with that supercharger?

Yah, it'll be running a front mount. I've been promised an Apex Performance intercooler off my mate Ed for pennies, so i haven't bought one yet. Diff. Bloody Diff. I need to Get on with that don't i I'm Not totally slacking off though, although it may appear so... SAM_0091 by shiredrifter, on Flickr

Nice one Neil - cant believe I have only just got round to reading this entire thread!! Really loving the supercharger idea and am interested to see how you get on.......i.e be the guinea pig for the rest of us!! Cheers! Yep, i best not fuck it up either- it's my only Car! Hopefully should make it a LOT more fun to drive, as good as a stock 5MGE is, i do hanker for a bit more to bother the Audi Drivers with on the daily commute. ;D

Bloody hell It's been a while since my last update eh Ok,I must admit, Riding my BMX at our New local Skatepark quite a lot lately, In between working on New products so Drifting and my own Car stuff has taken a back seat for a while as i cling on To my Youth! So some parts i've been Whoring till i can fit them. 1"MK3 Supra Master Cylinder For the Big Brake upgrade. I'm already running a MK3 Brake Booster, so will fit on with No modification other than Bending the Brake lines a bit. SAM_0086 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Eaton M90 Needle Bearings and Snout Coupling to refresh the charger. Ordered from the States for about £40 SAM_0082 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Adjustable Recirculating Blow off Valve For the Supercharger Conversion. SAM_0081 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Dastek Unichip Piggyback ECU. It's an early type, but so is my car. What can i say, It was Cheap, They are proficient for the job and there are enough people around my area that can Map them, so a no brainer really! SAM_0080 by shiredrifter, on Flickr I Got Mark the fabricator to Chop off and weld up the Old wastegate Hole in the Boost pipe, so i could spin the pipe round 180 degrees. He did an awesome job too SAM_0083 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0084 by shiredrifter, on Flickr So it now fits like this > SAM_0085 by shiredrifter, on Flickr The Recirculating Valve will need to link this outlet pipe to the inlet pipe at the back of the supercharger, so i gotta drill it and make a new hole for the valve. Billy Thorpe of Sweet Oblivion Clothing Also very kindly Made up a New Logo and Stickers for Driftoy, So They now adorn the car. SAM_0089 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Please buy one, they'll be a collectors item one day! ;D Been working on these too. Not for my car though. I already have T3 ones. Also made ae86 /kp60/ ta40 to ma61 offset brackets so a few friends of mine could run Supra struts on their cars (thicker spindle and Better brakes) SAM_0133 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0131 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0134 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0125 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Prototype 30mm offset RCA's to increase Track Width and Camber SAM_0136 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0120 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0123 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0121 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0122 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Oh, and went to Lydden Hill For round 4 of the BDC. Sweeps Let Some Members of the Corolla Brotherhood (And Me) On Track Thanks Jord and Nick Shaw for the Photo's :thumbs: [img src=" farm8.staticflickr.com/7382/9510574359_9a456002d3_c.jpg"] BDC Round 4 @ Lydden Hill by Nick Shaw, on Flickr[/IMG] Being my First time Driving Around the Track, I'd have preferred to have had the whole day to just get used to the lines, and set up my car, but it was free track time, so can't really complain eh! It was a Bit of an eye Opener for me as i Literally Had about 10 Minutes after i Arrived at Lydd to Get all my Crap Out of the car, Replace a tyre that let go One the 160 mile drive to the Track, Set up Camera, Have a piss, and Go try and not Look like a complete Cnut in font of many hundred people that had attended whilst in the Mean time try very hard Not to Crash My ONLY Car if front of Said Many Hundred People I pussied out of Devils Elbow, and when seeing everyone else i was on track with had a Cage fitted, and actually Practiced Regularly, (First time in maybe a year..) I erred on the Side of Caution. :cry: Love to go Back and be able to relax, as it's more technical than it looks. Liked it Now with Added Ramones ^ I'm going to Take it off the road this winter, and Get something else to Potter around in while i give the Supra Some Much Needed tlc and Improvements. Had this on the Road for over 4 years Now, Done 10,000 miles a year in it, Drift Days, Daily Abuse and it's been the Most Reliable Car I've Ever Had! Next Step is Weld Sunroof. Refresh everything, Supercharge the 5MGE and Maybe Cage? Hankering over a BMW E24 635 csi Still, so that may be the Next Daily Driver

So, after thinking a bit more about what Stav on driftworks had said about recirculating valves, and realizing he was right and i was being a fucking eejit about how they work. I did a bit more research into them and the types. So, back to the drawing board i went on ebay and got a proper one off another jag as i could make it fit better The bypass valve is 35mm bore from the intake into two 25mm leading back into the compressed side of the charger. Should provide lots of flow past the charger when engines off throttle, and hopefully not be too thirsty either. SAM_0706 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0704 by shiredrifter, on Flickr The 2 x 25mm bore bypass valves will have to be plumbed back in to the compressor outlet pipe, so going to get on the lathe and turn up some nice 6082 ali fittings that mark can weld back on. to the top of this pipe. SAM_0698 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Next job is to make a template for the intake side of the charger (at the back) so we can fabricate a new one from Aluminum. The flat backed plate of the recirculating valve will then mate onto this so it needs to be D shaped on one side. I will have to move the air flow meter over to where the battery currently is, then mount that inside the car. Thinking of using a mini cooper s charger to intercooler part for this as they have a really nice flat profile. will see how much room i've got to play with when i fit the charger though. Then it will be a case of making a dummy pipe for a template, and getting it right. SAM_0693 by shiredrifter, on Flickr You can see the twin outlets with the butterfly open in this pic ^ Eaton M90 has been stripped down for it's new bearings. I love how simple and old school these things look with their guts on display. SAM_0701 by shiredrifter, on Flickr It's got some wear and small chipping of the teflon coating on it, so not too sure how much that will effect things. do you think it's worth worrying about? there was a bit of lateral play in the bearings, so i'm guessing it's not too badly worn. :confused: SAM_0703 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Inside of the casing looks pretty good. some light scoring, but no real gouges. SAM_0702 by shiredrifter, on Flickr It's quite an ordeal to replace things on eatons in the uk, No distributor or service dept from what i can find, so have to look at the usa for parts & guidance on a lot of things. Should be back together in the next week or so. Oh yeah,supercharger oil fucking stinks like boiling dog shit, so be careful where you store things:o Bought an intercooler for £65 off ebay. It's 600 x 300 x 76mm and seems ok for what i want to do. SAM_0694 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0695 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0709 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0700 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0697 by shiredrifter, on Flickr SAM_0699 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Should all flow quite well with no real restrictions. Another work in winter progress is the long neglected diff. I cleaned up the new spare that will have the weir kit and oil cooler set up on SAM_0707 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Got the M18 banjo's and pipework for that now, and found the missing parts to my my 3 leg puller after about 6 years so can commence on the rebuild now. SAM_0708 by shiredrifter, on Flickr Banjo's fitted to my old Santa pod murdered diff. ^ All in all, lots of fun to be had over winter. :smash:

wow, actual updates from Neil? Glad to see you're actually doing something lol! Im up for that roadtrip to driftland for definite, my engines all but in now, just sorting out a few loose ends, mounting the oil cooler and waiting to get the wiring done!! Hopefully you're thinking back end of summer for the roadtrip, will give me some time to save a few pennies and get the suspension and brakes done, as i still need to fork out for exhaust and intercooler over the next month or 2 ;D

I took off the Supra's 5mge bottom pulley to see what the options are in the clear light of day. The 6 rib belt at the back is 5.5" diameter It also has 4 tapped bolt holes which i never noticed before! For 5 psi the M90 requires 20 hp at 10 000 rpm, and increases the air temp by 95 degrees F. The M112 for the same 5 psi requires 25 hp and heats the air an extra 115 degrees. The M90 does a better job. The M90 also builds boost quicker. They were full of dirt so once i cleaned them out, noticed they were the same thread as the Jag bolts that hold the supercharger pulley to the rest This is the Jaaag pulley i bought side on. The middle and right pulley are separate to the trigger wheel and left pulley scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13254494_10154567098357580_460276009478006134_n.jpg?oh=f91f2eba1404b5c18ebff2bbb4688d02&oe=57CCA5ADThe middle and right pulley are separate to the trigger wheel and left pulley... The jaag supercharger pulley is 7.5" diameter, and the Eaton M90 pulley is 2.8" diameter. That equates to a ratio of 2.678 & 10.5 psi of boost on the jaag, and the EATON supercharger pumps out 1.47 litres of air per rotation 7.5" IS A LOT BETTER THAN 5.5" Before i was looking at a ratio of 1.964 (5.5"/ 2.8" ) and that worked out to roughly 6.5 psi of boost. 10.5 psi is better and about the limit on the Eaton m90 before the air gets too hot and becomes a Heaton" I will lose a bit of that pressure no doubt at the intake manifold, and as it's still a flapper style AFM it's not exactly efficient. I have got ARP studs and a 2mm Cometic head gasket already, and while the heads off, i'm sending it to a local Machinist who does a lot of work for UK classic race teams. Plan is to have the head Gas flowed, skimmed slightly to ever so slightly to lower the compression with the 2mm head gasket. (Stock is 1.5mm thick) 3 angle valve cutting while it's on the mill and sort out the leaky valve stems. :rolleyes: Bumper support made from some I beam ali baton work were throwing out. The old steel one literally crumbled to bits in my hand It gives the fog and indicator brackets something solid to fix to. I had to repair them a bit,and riveted them on to the ali baton As for the Supercharger fitting itself.. I got another aircon pump bracket and bolts for £18 from TCB Performance after foolishly throwing mine out, and although the air con pump lugs were at the wrong tilt angle for the supercharger, It made for a bit of a Eureka moment Measured it up ( Centre to centre) Bolted loads of bits of angle to it to try and get it to sit in the right place, but couldn't get the nose of the charger tilted towards the engine due to the top forward lug clashing on the charger casing Try as i might, The Eaton M90 was too big. I think it wouldn probably work better for a m62 charger So a plan was hatched. Going from the engine mounting points that the Aircon Bracket used, i was able to figure out exactly where i went wrong before(This shit is tedious and annoying! Turbo your 5M is my advice) Box section will have to be joined for the top bolts on the charger, but now i have space between those and underneath the thermostat housing 10MM thick plate of steel, And 1" box section welded on at 90 degrees Just about clears engine mount! I'm gunna sleeve the box section with top hat inserts where the bolts go through so those nuts won't be between charger and bracket. This will also help to get everything straight and true I will lop some weight out of the plate when i figured out tensioner pulley location, but plan is to run the JAG xjr -6's 7.5" charger pulley in place of the old Aircon V belt now. This bracket is going to come in handy for mounting the Charger bracket to the engine. I'll run another bit of box section to it from the plate and frame it to the mounting points on the charger. Eventually i'll perfect it to a tidy ali setup, but for now it'll do
