Mini supercharger on 1zz

[Carolyn]

2zz are yellow.  Green, usually, standard.  Cheers

[lamcote]

That I can help you with!
MAF is before the turbo:-

Airfilter
MAF
Pipe
Turbo
Pipe
Throttlebody
Engine

Also the kit came with no form of charge cooling if that's any consequence?

I reckon that's going to need a BOV fitting between the supercharger and the throttle body.

[Carolyn]

Patrick!!  where have you been?  Yes, you're probably right.  Got a Mini one.  Fortunately I've even got a port for it.

[lamcote]

The Mini doesn't have a BOV as standard because it has the throttle body before the supercharger, the Mini does have a bypass valve, but that's a different thing. The BOV is required because the throttle body is being relocated after the supercharger in your setup.

There's is one fitted tho the std PE kit did not ship with one

[lamcote]

It's not so important with a turbo, much more significant with a supercharger though.

[Carolyn]

indeed.  Bidding on one as we speak.

PE ran standard injectors but increased fuel pressure. The 2zz injectors should even the difference out.

[Carolyn]

That's the way I'm leaning.

Apologies.... after confirming they are actually yellow and not green   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  (Yes I am colourblind lol)
Good thing I don't work in bomb disposal   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

[Carolyn]

2zz injectors it is then.  Damn this is adding up.

[shnazzle]

It always does...   s:( s:(

My £500 turbo kit has cost me almost 3 times that now and I haven't even started fitting it!

[Carolyn]

I've just about finished spending... with injectors to come (but included in the total) I'm in for £900.  'bout what I anticipated.

[shnazzle]

Eek. That's already a fair bit.
But to be fair, if you've come this far with 900, that does give decent hope for the total cost of the build

[Carolyn]

That's all the spending. Got all the exhaust parts.  Plenty of fabrication to do - but that's woman hours not cash.

[Ardent]

Thats the scary part.
No labour costs.

I feel faint imagining what the labour costs would come out at, if it was being paid for on a normal client contractor basis.

[Ardent]

If not already done so.

I'd like dibs on the first reasonably practical passenger ride.   s:) s:)

I could have done it cheaper had kept the stock exhaust and stuck with the E-Manage Blue and not gone for all the other "nice to have" upgrades like alloy rad, oil cooler, E-manage Ultimate, charge cooler etc

[Carolyn]

Patrick (Headcase) has sorted the injectors for me.  Thanks all for responding.

[jonbill]

Blimey things have moved on a lot in a couple of days since I last looked in....

[jvanzyl]

The question is will it show up on Sunday??  s:-D :-D s:-D

[Carolyn]

Projects are like that aren't they?  Getting close, but we're in no hurry.  Got some tasty exhaust components and we want it to look well.  So fabrication next week.  Oh and a bunch of soldering connectors for the emanage.

[Carolyn]

Update time.
Many thanks to Jon (Jonbil) who came by and assisted with labeling all the wires for the emanage.  So that's MAf, injectors, timing and boost all going to be managed.
Exhaust is halfway done.
Blow-off valve installed.
2zz injectors in.
Some heat shields (to keep the inlet cool), hangers and mounts to sort out.
Looking at fan for engine compartment...

[shnazzle]

Headcase has a ready-made fan. Thermostatic and all.
