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 biggrin.gif) 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 biggrin.gif

 

cheers,

You'll find some good info floating around on the club, a good search should fine some good info. You can use a factory K series AC braket to mount the charger, makes life very easy, it all just lines up. You gonna go efi or carb?

does any1 have a AC bracket for sale for cheap :sob: out of all the k series motors i have ever owned of seen over here in NZ i can't say i have ever seen 1 yet with AC lol. i am thinking bout running 2 40mm dellorto's (as i benn ofered 2 near new 1's with manifold for NZD$400) and making up an alloy plenum. the motor itself is in a bugeye kp starlet. and i am going to intercool it via a standard S14 silvia 'cooler. the charger will be running standard boost so i just trying to get a rough idea of what is going to be needed for such a set up for now as ill be looking to do it in the next 6months to a year ( i like to have everything sorted and set in place so its just a matter of only haveing it off the road for a weekend while the wprk is being done as its my dailey driver )

Hey Brodie, wouldn't bother with the s14 cooler if I where you. All factory Nissan IC's are like the size of a piece of toast and can't see them giving you any real benefit over not having one. You may also be better off getting something with an inlet/outlet on each side, like most available coolers as you'll be having the charger on the drivers side and plenum inlet on the passenger side.

 

As for blowing through side drafts, the Peurto Rican's are the guys you want to talk to about boost modding DCOE's. :jamie:
