I went down there Friday and can honestly say Chris and Kim are top people and great to be around, my mrs came away extremely privileged to say 'ive been to the zed shed' Break something on the zed Jack then drive down

I got a V2 have been looking at SCi trim for it but for now will be just V2. I like the fact the S/C is engine cooled as well. Know exactly what you mean Gareth, im just one part away now literally plus any little connectors/adapers ....ive been collecting things for ages Good work Elliot glad to see your not hanging about with mods will be nice to see the bumper revamped, good find on the bonnet you got Steves right?? hes a good chap old Steve Start collecting now buddy you will be suprised how the list just grows and grows have a look at the S/C guys on here and decide what bits you need then just work towards it

I will be tracking it a fair bit, however I got it in the deal so still deciding on whether to go twin or single, few threads with not many conclusions on the matter! haha you can talk how long did we have to wait to see even a braided line or something it will follow shortly when I figure out what everything else is in the box

So after being inspired and compelled to update my thread seeing as Gareths (GMballistic) one is so epic. I actually went and picked up my supercharger (well it has been like 3 months ) there is a lot of things involved with this S/C stuff and the box of bits goes to prove it! Im not as far ahead as G so I will break down what I have and how im going to do things and of course where I'm stuck will be asking for help, also im sure ive got things wrong so await for that to be pointed out to But may prove useful to someone who wants to do this or if anyone is interested in what you need to get, il do it bit by bit with a group photo at the end First up and most importantly: Oil considerations: start off with the basics: oil and good filter , i only have 5 litres but will have a higher oil capacity after everything (more will be revealed) Next up we have an Oil temp gauge/sensor - to monitor the all important temps (this is being wired into my door vent) Then I got a sandwich plate (I actually have one spare now) but this is to run the oil return lines from oil cooler and house the temp sensor for Oil Gauge Some people can get sump spacers but i opted for a whole sump so its baffled (to keep oil near the pick up under high acceleration/braking) and also has oil return outlets on it so when its time to install I have a choice on how I run the return lines (I also read its apparently better to run the lines back to the top of sump for heat or something?) although I dont know what adapter I need on the two outlets on the sump or what size, anyone know the name??? as ts a bigger sump it will hold more oil and help keep a constant temp - should put me around 5.5-5.7 litres some finnage Lastly and the most important bit, a thermostatically controlled oil cooler - these have braided lines running off them going to a sandwich plate I have a Veilside V3 front bumper and at the front there are two holes on each side (I think for fog lights or something) anyhow oil cooler can hopefully be positioned behind the holes for direct air feed, this means I dont have to position the oil cooler in front of the intercooler (potentially blocking it) for direct air. feed. I would then mesh the holes from the inside to stop squirrels being sucked in. so thats the holes on one side covered but what about the other side? (wave of magic wand) shazzamm - twin oil coolers I will probably need longer braided line between oil coolers (to go across front of car) and a longer braided hose from passenger side oil cooler back to sandwich plate/sump. After both of these go on im prob looking at near 7 litres of oil at least it will be cold though That concludes my oil setup for now...next up AIRY things.......stay tuned

hmmm having a look at the net it seemd the rev up version is different, you may have to ask a trader on this one as they will have all the specs

i dont think you can fit a DE to a HR but you can fit a HR to a DE, what car is yours and what is the y pipe from? when I put the HR one on my DE it just pushed the exhaust back slightly didnt effect it though

yes i have a HR one on my DE, im sure one of the traders will be along to double confirm

work of art there

awesome tool set...dont loose the foam insert (like me) as every time you pick it up the bits inside go everywhere

will do, looks a nice neat job in your bay , I take it the engine cover corner had to get chopped? ive got a carbon one so dont fancy chopping it i think i might have to let that go now!

excellent stuff GM, nice figures too as above you must be over the moon, I just went a collected all my V2 tonight....sooo many bits il update my thread soon but reading yours has me made know im doing the right thing

I waited 2 years for mine! many front end damaged zeds seem to be the more common accident on the bay. As they are quite cheap to buy new your probably better off going that route specially as the majority second hand that would come up would be wrong colour anyway

to be fair they were never going to top ,,,,,,,,, 'all in fair warned........sold to papa bear' I wouldn't mind attending one of those auctions though but never know where they are

come on Graham we are so close to S/C territory!! On another note you've overtaken my build thread in 6 days

im going for an uprev ....................after i strap a supercharger to it I think it will be worth it Coldel hit the nail on the head

that pic is awesome

I used an old door card I had to trim away some off the plastic with a dremel and jammed my oil temp gauge in for a snug fit, so hoping I can just use this one in my door card, yes route the wires through the existing door loom Bit of a crap pic but you get the idea

Good to see your cracking on with it mate, Im having many large gaps of inactivity with mine at the moment, I keep laying everything out on the floor in the living room and just staring at it im putting one of my gauges in the door vent

id throw a baffled sump on the next engine as well

looking good Graham been waiting for this......more shiny bits now

funny enough what do I have stuck to my bedroom door a 370z one lol drop us a pm if interested

never mind about hose length my friend just gave me 2 metres of 13mm braided hose with AN fittings on it for nothing thats that bit sorted then Still stuck on fitments on ends of catch can outlets and also if 13mm is fine for where it goes into on engine etc and would i need different connectors for that end to?

there is a hurricane pete im staying in!! Anyway I have got this for a baffled oil catch can. the outlets coming out of it are at an angle but im hoping I can run two lines from it still without a problem. Question is how long hoses do i need to get? and also am I able to get fittings like below pic but on the outlets I have? or AN fittings? outlets are 13mm so if anyone can point me to some links or length of hose needed would be great, is 13mm hosing ok for where ever the other end needs to go? here is where im thinking of putting it (but the other way around) any other site location suggestions welcome

yup definitely not worth skimping already found a FRS so just figuring out how im gonna pay for it

Thanks Graham, im sorted for injectors and everything actually, unfortunately im missing the two most important/expensive things that dont come up for sale that often
