bmw e36 coupe build!

[m44lee]

thanks for the comments guys!

i'll try and get it fitted next weekend and i'll get some pics and vids up!

[m44lee]

got the bits and bobs i needed such as new gaskets and o-rings etc in the post yesterday so gonna crack on fitting it 2morro!

[m44lee]

well got started today around midday! and ended up having to leave it till 2morro as the smallest drive i have is a 3/8 drive and it wasnt small enough to fully bolt up the supercharger manifold and 11mm is the only spanner i didnt have! :roll:

but heres some pics as i went!

all the kit laid out



had a laptop set up with the installation guide on



removing bits









upper manifold off


fuel rail removed






i **** wiring and ended up having to ring neil a couple of times for advice! so cheers neil :wink:



didnt have a clue what was what so had to label everything up with different coloured tape so i knew where they went back



lower manifold off



steel braided fuel lines fitted



new idler pulleys fitted



new gasket fitted



supercharger going in



and then how its been left till 2morro



once the bolts are tightened there isnt too much more left to do!
however there is a couple of small rubber hoses that i cant seem to find where they go! ops:

will have the camcorder stood by for the first fire up!

Great work! Cant wait to hear it running! Whats the milage on your motor man? Did you rebuild it yet and are you expecting anything negative as far as the durability concerns? How much HP will it add? Sorry for all the questions but im a real fan of superchargers rather than turbos

Keep it up!

This just got awesomer! Cant wait to hear it whining! lol. Hopefully it will give some power to the 1.8 lol. My one was slowwwww.

[m44lee]

well i carried on today! and she lives!!!!!!! however i broke the bleed screw and i snapped the aircon tensioner bolt

heres the pics!

manifold tightened up and fuel rail fitted



throttle body and maf fitted



air fiter on the elbow wouldnt allow me to refit the pipercross as its a touch to large but i'll sort that soon



belt refitted



my johnny age 5 diagram to help me ops:



sheared off the aircon tensioner ops: so no aircon for the moment





and finished bar bleeding it! grabbed the camera to film the first start but it died! ops: (sounded like a bag of nails the first start anyway!)

after adjusting the throttle cable i got it to idle ok and then went to bleed it and broke the bleed screw! ops:
so you'll have to wait for a vid until i get another!

but it does sound mean when you rev it!

Will love to hear the compressor in action! How many KW do you gain with that compressor?

[LukeyBabes]

What are you doing about fueling? How you chucking more in? lol

gonna get it a custom remap on a rolling road so i'll post the results but guessing roughly about 220bhp

[m44lee]

to be honest im not 100% how it does sort it but the only thing thats changed is the return fuel using the rising rate fuel regulator! (that thing that almost looks like a dump valve on it)

however the next stage of tuning for more power is bigger injectors and getting rid of the rising rate thing!

[EuroTrash727]

Very nice.

[Magnushn]

Get some videos out! Great work!

[m44lee]

supercharger video clip

well changed the broken injector today and that sorted all the problems out so im chuffed to bits and took it out for its maiden voyage and im still speachless
its totally transformed the car!
another thing on the list of things to do was upgrading the speakers etc but i dont know how often that going to be used now as i have a new favourite tune!
heres a quick vid just after the 1st start up! only on a crap digi camera and it does it no justice!



as always comments good or bad are welcomed! :wink:

[G535]

True, video does it no justice But she seems to be running great! How does it feel driving ?

it feels awesome although i think i need a lsd to get the most out of it!

and it feels fine as it is but soon i'll be getting a custom remap to get the most from it all!
