i have a few questions :

what pistons did you use ?
what cams ?
where did you mount it
what supercharger ?
any pics ?

i am thinking of using a eaton charger mounted above the gearbox at the front of the engine and run by a shaft going to a pulley mounted somewhere that the aux belt can go around

is this even possible ?

 

I know it's been done a couple of times mate, i've got a pic somewhere of a Zetec engine in a Mondeo Supercharged, i'll try and dig it out for you later

 

Here you go mate

cheers

i think mounting it to the inlet is out of the question though due to clearance problems and not being able to run an I/C

 

There was a video in the Vids & Pics room of a supercharged RS2000, it sounded the tits.

 

i belive torque of the deivil have done quite a lot of these.

at a good price as well from what i remeber.

 

There was a kit manufactured by powerworks mate but unfortunately has been stopped that was configured solely for a 2.0 blacktop. This is essentially a bolt on kit bar the management which had everything you needed to convert a blacktop zetec to supercharged (like that mondeo which is a blacktop engine)

http://www.sportcompactonly.com/Supe...01_pl-2458.htm that is the Powerworks kit.

there is another kit out there by focus sport:

http://www.focussport.com/supercharger.htm again directly for the 2.0 blacktop zetec.

These are all from the states as the UK supplier for powerworks has discontinued then as apparently no more will be made but you can still get them from the US

 

the trouble is all the off the shelf kits are for the focus and where they are mounted will cause me clearance issues (will be going in a mk3 escort)

my master plan was to mount it just above the gearbox and run a shaft across the front of the engine , then have it going through a front mounted I/C and use a cvh crossover pipe to connect the throttle body to the I/C , i was looking to use c20let pistons to take it to 2.1 and lower the comp then run approx 15psi

 

Neil @ FastFord's mk1 Fiesta is a Supercharged Blacktop Zetec

 

is that the one that is rear engined ?

 

I've got an Eaton M45 supercharger from a Mini Cooper S. I'm going to fit it to my BMW 318is when I get round to it, along with some Jenvey throttle bodies I have

I think that supercharger is a good one to use and plenty about fairly cheap with delivery miles on

 

i have a mondeo 2.0 zetec with the jackson racing M45 eaton supercharger kit from america. its not intercooled, but that kinda appealed to me at the time because it made it a simpler install. with other mods (pulleys swapped to up the boost, cams, headers, big TB, unichip, water injection etc), its 230bhp at the flywheel, and has nitrous on top of that.

it does the bizz, sounds brilliant, is good on fuel, and is nice and reliable (touchwood). its no neck-snapper, but i have a zetec-turbo mondy for that purpose!

there is other zetec kits you can get from USA like the vortech and powerworks which knock out alot more power but they are alot more money. my kit was Ł1500, and you often see them 2nd hand from over there for Ł800 ish (including the sexy inlet manifold, big injectors, etc)

 

Would be simpler to not use the TBs...

There are a few 318is's with that 'Charger on knocking about.

I saw an E30 318is in Total BMW a few months back with it on. That's what got me thinking about it. I know it'd be easier to do it without the TB's, but I really fancy them!

That E30 though, I think the conversion cost him peanuts really aside from the ECU, so a good idea and 205BHP. A good upgrade

 

the vortec kit is mounted as you describe

 

 

now we talking , any idea where these are available from ?

Video of one mounted in a different place;

looking at it that would foul the brake servo , it will be ideal if the housing could be rotated to point forwards though then it could run through a fmic and use a cvh crossover to get to the throttle body

 

You can rotate a Vortec housing outlet.
In the first link, second pic, the 3 screws on the outer edge of the compressor housing only clamp the outlet in place, (more screws and clamps on the other side you can't see) it will spin to any position.

Christ don't give him ideas!! It's front engined, and it has a Powerworks charger. It's a lovely bit of kit, but, as has been mentioned, it's been discontinued .

 

the rear engined one is Chris Todd's

 

sorry to bring this back up, and I'll start a new thread if anyone objects, but do you have any more info on any E36 318is' running an Eaton M45 (or does anyone?)

Decided I'm going to use it. As for the TB's, I'll add them at a later date, but the supercharger seems reasonably sraightforward.

Only info I have is for an E30, and while it's the same M42 engine I have, I think there may be a few slight differences in the set-up and things that had to be moved/changed in the E30 engine bay that I might be able to get away without doing or have to do slightly different on the E36

Cheers

 

Just seen this. I toyed with the rwd idea....but to keep the costs and build time down i stuck with FWD. AS mentioned sadly the Powerworks Blacktop kit is no more, glad i imported mine from the states when i did.....fingers crossed ill be driving the thing in a couple of months!!

 

Is it not Supercharged and Turbo'd?
