Just mocking up the new plenum and intake and just about got the supercharger to fit. Inner wing needed a brief appointment with Mr. Lumphammer, but got about 1/2" clearance on s/c body now.

Worked out how to fit everything apart from the intake pipe. The mismatch between the s/c outlet and the intake elbow is severe. Tried all my bends in metal and silicone but nothing anywhere near close.

The diameter reduces from the intake to the s/c also.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on anywhere to search on the net or anywhere for some really tight bends. Could be cast or plastic. Or any cars which have a really tight elbow fitted somewhere as standard. Ta.

 

 

 

 

looks like it wont fit under the hood, would be cool for the top of the engine to be sticking out of the hood like a muscle car.

 

 

I was a bit worried when I came to shut the bonnet, but it closed fine with about 10mm clearance all round. I'd measured as best as I could beforehand and made the plenum to follow the lines of the bonnet. The standard Chevy tpi setup wouldn't have fitted, hence having to make a plenum.

 

 

 

Thanks John.
