Hi all,
Thought I would share my current project with you and get any thought opinions from yourselfs.
So i brought a complete z cars mini in october with a nasty zeemax body kit (in my opinion) on it but a complete running car.
Z cars tell me this was there first vtec kit they did for a customer ?
Anyways the arches hadn't been sealed underneath so water just sat between the arches and body, consequently ruining the panels.
so its currently in the body shop, its had new front end, quarters etc and going to spray next week, then i can get back to the charger build.
Im going for a m90 charger from a jaguar xjr6 and going to use the charge cooler and radiator from the same car.
I paid 250 for all of this from a jaguar breakers, although i did have to put a new coupler in the charger.
Hopefully using a bigger charger will mean I dont need to run the charger so fast to get required boost and then reduce the heat the charger makes
The charger and cooler brackets are all built up, and belt is on with tensioner. Ive just got the get the car back and then sort out good pipe routing for boost pipes
I've put a quick video on, this was after I pulled the arches off and started the engine with charger on.
its loud but it is boosting into the air rather than into the engine.
let me know what you think
