More progress today. I purchased another supercharger because the teflon
coating came off my original one. I used some brake parts cleaner wich bubbled
the teflon off the rotors like it was paint striper. I had already ported the
old case to match up with the throttle body and the intake manifold adaptor so
I pulled the insides out of the new supercharger and installed them in the old
case. I installed some 370cc injectors. I then mounted the supercharger on
the car. I was happy that there was a 1/2" gap between the recirculating valve
diaphram and the starter. This was the only part I hadn't mocked up before.
It looks like there might not be much room for the MAF in the fenderwell. I am
contemplating cutting a hole in the cowling and placing the MAF and air filter
inside the passenger footwell. I bet this will make a wicked sound. Another
option would be to route it into the cowl vent and put the filter under the
vent cover. I am going to use a P60 MAF from an !
Infinity Q45. It is 90mm. The stock MAF can almost fit inside the new one.
I need to find a plug for the Q45 MAF. I suppose the dealer would have the
part. Does anybody happen to know the part number?
Here are the photos from today.

I would like to get it running tomorrow or over the holiday. I still need to
figure out the belt length and route some wires. I also need to put the GM
supercharger oil in it. ($18 for 8 ounces)
Later,
Andy
