Just started on the "hardline" wireing for the fuel pump.

 The power will be drawn through a 4mm2 cable with a 30 AMP fuse to the battery.

 

Run through a Nissan relay that will be placed in the vacant spot in the relay box for the lamp washer.

 

also started fitting some 2" aluminium pipe and my Screw cap for the new radiator overflow tank.

Did you have to buy the wiring and relays separately for the hardwire?

Having a look at fuelab as well as aeromotive 340 at the moment.

Are these still available?

pm me

I prefer driving the zed to the E46 M3 I have, it feels more like a sports car, but the M3 is a better all rounder definitely.

This is fantastic - could you elaborate more on the mods you did to the pump to make it fit?

Looks like I'm going to need to upgrade my walbro 255 and worried about how a bigger one will fit in the carrier, also was hardwiring tricky?

I've got one as well - great car. Expensive when it goes wrong though.

Remember that BHP sells cars, however, torque wins races.

 

 

Which american have you been speaking with Alex?

Err you have the cogs the wrong way round in the calculator that would defo blow up the blower 68000 rpm lol

Sorry what do you mean, i’m confused. How many teeth does your supercharger cog pulley and jackshaft pulley have?

edit -

ah yes you’re quite right, just checked supercharger 28, jackshaft 32.

This shouldn't hang around long

Would the extra rpm that the alternator & power steering pump would see not be an issue to consider also?

Perhaps - the US forums don't seem to think it causes any issues. Some mentioned impact to the A/C

Mine was night and day difference, from whooshing and hissing all over the place to near silent.

Which filter are you using? I put on the K&N 62-1480 on and it's made no discernible difference. I actually want it silent.

Filter on the BOV makes zero difference to noise reduction.

Plan to run my fluidamper, 3.12 pulley and 32/28 cog pulleys on my v3 sci vortech (non rev-up), it should only just over spin the blower if i remember right, but the time it does this for/ the chance i actually hit the increased rev limit (7000rpm probably) will be so small it shouldn't do any damage, if maintained well. 53,000 is the max speed of the V2 SCi (couldnt find the V3 data atm.) and the speed it would go to on my setup is around 56,000 i think.

 

Seen a few post from america saying it should be ok to over spin the blower slightly as belt slip and acutally hitting the rev limiter are factors to consider.

 

Have a play around with Vortech’s impeller calculator. You’ll find that it’s actually quite tricky to get close to the impeller limit: https://vortechsuperchargers.com/pages/impeller-speed-calculator

32/28, ATIdamper, 2.87” pulley, 7200Redline = 52,380rpm

928 state that it should be fine to overspin blower by a few thousand rpm.

I’m thinking of mounting oil temp into the sump but I have an APS large capacity sump and not sure where its best to tap it. Havent thought of the oil pressure yet. Are you going to use innovate gauges?

Which ones?

Oil temp & pressure

What rad have you got Alex? Need to swap out my mishimoto

Mishimoto rad sucks. Need one for FI zed. Recommendations welcome.

Please do post pics of where you mount the sensors 

Wanted to gets some thoughts from those who either have or are considering upgrading their crank pulley in order to extract more power from their superchargers.

Stock DE crank pulley: 5.75”

Fluidamper crank pulley: 6.125

ATI crank pulley: 6.61”

Simply put the larger the crank pulley and the smaller the supercharger pulley the faster you will spin the blower and hence the more power you will produce. Using calculations from Vortech’s impeller calculator, upgrading crank pulley you would still be within the blowers RPM limit.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Got a pic?

Lol some people just aren't that adventurous with this kind of automotive thing.

 

Give me a house and I can renovate it top to bottom.

 

Anyway, I found it mounted inside the wing. 

 

It's fixed and holding. Thanks guys.

And done with the Utec....

just ordered a stand alone ecu with all sensors etc. 

 

Which one did you opt for?

Great build btw

2007mm 6 ribbed belt should work for a 3.33

Yes but still haven't got it set up right

 

how are you running it and what kind of setup?

Thread revival!!!

Does anyone run methanol on their zed, esp those who are FI? - How do you find it?

Anyone have one they want to sell?
