So your running 1.2Bar of boost with a static CR of 10/1? will you be running it on 98RON?

Sorry to Hi-jack slightly but I am too building a supercharged Zetec engine. I have been building a MEV Rocket for about 15 months and after much
research decided to use the Rotrex C30-94 with forged internals. At the time I started with the engine build Omex did not offer forged pistons and
Rods so again with lots of research I got mine made by JE Pistons and PEC rods. Also their was no bracket for transverse application as it needed to
incorporate the engine mount. TTS agreed to design the bracket for this application. I will be running a Jenvey plenum and a single 70mm throttle
body and hope to make simular figures to yourself with slight head work. Have also invested in a Quaife straight cut close ratio gearbox with their
ATB LSD, so taking RPM to 8000, should be good for 55mph in 1st and 160mph top end - but I very much doubt I will see that top end !!
As I work in the industry, the car is full carbon fibre panels, seats etc:
Seats have recently been changed to this picture for pre-preg carbon seats
Car is a little further on than the pics above and is currently being wired with an Omex 600. Should be mapped and dyno'd end of February with
a bit of luck.
Will be watching your thread to see how your engine performs,
Jon
Wow that looks awesome!

It'll be fine. Centrifugal superchargers make their peak boost at high rpm so the likelihood of detonation is really quite low. Comparing staic
CR on different engines is a bit pointless anyway. Dynamic CR makes a bigger difference, and resistance to det is a function of good engine design
more than you might think.
I ran 10:1 CR and peaked at boosts of around 1.1bar without a hint of det on my Duratec, even when I was messing with fuel and spark.

Of course. You must understand that Omex have been running this setup for 12 months plus on several development engines so I am not inventing the
wheel here but rather using their full kit. The rods and pistons are to their specification, the fuel pump and injectors are coming from them as is
the full supercharger kit. Richard at Omex is also supplying the map which was used on the Dev engine and ATSpeed will then map the car from
there.
The engine is now built and will be back tomorrow. Should have everything back in the car in the next few weeks.

So what happens if the pulley gets turned backwards?

Nice lump aren't they?
Turning them backwards can undo the internal components, so don't! I made up a long pin spanner to change the pulleys on mine. They do
themselves up damn tight after a little while.
Hopefully your plates should have got back to you today.

Yes, turned up, thanks. I'll check it against the TBs shortly.

Hi Jeff,
Still got to get my supercharger. The one in the pics is a seized unit I am using for mock-up. Have not decided on pulley size yet. When do you
expect to be up and running ?

Should be 2-3 weeks, depends on the gearbox at the moment. I was talking to Richard at Omex about your car, sounds like a great build.

Getting close to being ready. Really neat intercooler mounting by the boys at FSC
Wheel arches are finished and I think they look good
And the new steering wheel and boss

Very cool. Following with interest.....
Love the Intercooler install, very neat and tidy.
How are you inding it space wise? I have a striker and it was tight getting the standard engine in without all the bumf for the SC!

The arch extensions came off ebay....I'll find the seller details if you want.
Space is tight, although Richard at Omex has this kit fitted to his Striker and RAW have it fitted to a Phoenix. We are having to mount the
supercharger oil cooler on the driver side sidepod and the air filter down in the sidepod. It is the only place left where it will get cold(ish) air
as there is no way of running a cold air feed from the front of the car.
Fury Sportscars are doing an excellent job and they have welded all the intercooler tubes so that we only need a silicon hose to join it at the
supercharger and intercooler ends with no joins inbetween.
I'm also getting the GTiR plenum and the cam cover painted in a crinkle red finish like the 1960s Ferraris

Thats a pretty impressive amount of stuff in the engine bay, looks great! Do you think the radiator will cope with the intercooler in front, looks
quite thin?

I honestly don't know. I have a couple of Radtec rads in the garage so if it doesn't then I'll change the Rad.
