So, the supercharger and the intake manifold are always sold as a pair. Before I laid down the $$$ for the SC I had to look around for a manifold that isn't available for sale. While looking around I found the website for BritishRacingGroup.com and they were doing a GTE (racecar) conversion and were selling only the manifold. I contacted them, but they had already sold it, so while searching lotustalk later that night I see their sale thread and they had sold the manifold to a friend of mine, who I know already has a complete SC setup. A few quick messages later and I've made a deal for the manifold and the SC.
Fast forward a couple weeks and I have the first test fit:
You can see there that the custom waterneck that Anthony welded up for me is super close to the throttle body, so, add that to the to-do list.
Beautiful work once again!
He was also able to add another boss and drill a port for future use.
Bosch 525cc injectors. OEM ones are 530cc and very expensive (lotu$)
Here's the SC assembly bolted in place; you can see that I've already started to prep the harness for some updates...
Getting a belt is a bit of a guessing game. I'm running AC, so I need one that's a little longer than otherwise. The P/N is was given is a little too short. I can
make it fit, but that also means that I can't run the upper idler pulley, which would be nice for better belt wrap on the actual SC pulley. I'm also near the end of the travel of the stock belt tensioner. I've done some more research and I'm using a 107" belt, and I should be able to do 109, 110, 112, etc, etc
