oohh nice build you have there and compound aswell, just out curiousity how do you plan to control the compound effect? I think by adjusting the turbo's wastegate i can controle how much boost the supercharger gets, initially I,ll lower the turbo's boost to about half a bar, and see what the compounding produces. it will be very much suck it and see to start with. |

I think by adjusting the turbo's wastegate I can controle how much boost the supercharger gets, initially I,ll lower the turbo's boost to about half a bar, and see what the compounding produces. it will be very much suck it and see to start with. with my first attempt at compound boosting I found the boost spikes so unpredicatible, I had the turbo making 6psi and the supercharger making 10psi which ended up giving me 21psi but I still got boost creep. I found that if you plumb the supercharger to blow into the turbos then you still get the benefits of running a supercharger for lowend boost and a turbo for highend efficency but without the compound effect. with your eaton charger there I would reccommend a throttle type blow off that opens when the car is on idle after the supercharger (unless you move your engines throttle body before the supercharger), because those merc eatons (any eaton for that matter) make alot of noise when they are pushing against a closed throttle body. |

Well as prommised, a vid of the first start, unfortunately I'v run out of hose clips so I can't rev the engine (it just blowes the boost pipe off as soon as i close the throttle) still to do, fit the oil cooler (I'v just bypassed it for now) modify bottom hose and then tidy up. then comes the slow process of mapping it using a dastek unichip. |

So how does it feel? Is it doing what it is meant to? To early to tell, that run was with the maf disconected, with the maf connected it's over fueling badly (which isn't a surprise) so it's now a case of getting the dastek connected and getting the car mapped. |

I upped the boost today (bloodey hell it feels strong) and spent the day putting pipes back on...lol, I must have jacked the car up about 10 times today..lol
so I'v took off all my alloy joiners and will weld beads on them all tomorrow, I knew I'd have to do that anyway but I wanted to wait until I had all the pipe runs sorted.

All the pipes are staying on now, so it's ready to go for it's mot on tuesday (it's going to fail on a wishbone and a split drive shaft gaiter, but I can't get the hub nut undone, so they'r going to crack it open for me at the mot, then I'll change the wishbone and do the gaiter and take it back) have some picks:    the back slot in the bonnet will be to let hot air out.  The scoop is partitiond the front draws cold air onto the tmic, the back half lets out hot air (I may have to make a bigger hole in the back)   |
