Superchaged 5k Set Up Questions

[reTRD]

hey guys,

 

i am looking at supercharging my worked 5k witch is currently in a kp starlet (i no this is a rolla site but the motors are the same :dance:) a mate of mine has done it to 1 of his 4k's. but whati want to do is, will i be better off running a webber carb and jett it to work as a blowthrough setup, or go for a set of 35mm sideys and make up a custon intake plenum attached to them.

 

the charger is going to be a toyota sc12 or sc14 and is going to be intercooled via a factory S14 silvia 'cooler.

i no i am going to have to get a new cam for the motor as the one in it at the moment is just far far to aggressive (will bearly idel it so lumpy but i just love how hard it ruts haha people think i have a rota in it) so i will get a custom cam ground for it.

i just can't think of what else i am going to need apart from sort out the carb/carbs,a b.o.v, custom piping to the chrger and from it to the cooler them intake, new cam and of course a supercharger.

 

there is lots of people over here (new zealand) that just go for turbo setups that why i want to be diffrent, i no superchargers have limeted flow to them but i will only be running standard boost (5-7psi) as i don't want to pay thousands for custom forged pistons and i want it to be as reliable as can be as it's my dailey driver. all the work will be carryed out by myself and my flat mate.

 

any help you's have would be great. and if i have missed anything for the set up let me no :dance:

 

cheers,
