Supercharger install

Maybe you've uploaded the files but never added them to your post? Drag and drop. I don 't think this format of site is very intuitive when it comes to adding pics.

FYI, I see the pictures fine, they also show up in Gerrys quote post.

I can see lots & lots of pictures

I can see loads of pictures, and I'm liking what I see

Keep up the good work Egil.

Looks very good Noggie!
Some questions;
-Do you need only 1 airfilter?(I have 4)
-Your cooler is watercooled? Has also a ventilator?
-Do you think of cooling the motoroil?(I have, without it the oil goes to 130-140 C)
Futher a very compact and smooth installation, great!

See you next week, can we compare!

Thanks Egil for sharing your install progress with everyone. Thanks also to others here for the kind comments.

Dick - The supercharger kit uses a single air filter that feeds air into the supercharger head unit which in turn flows out through an air-to-air intercooler before flowing through the MAF's and DK's on it's way to the cylinders. Unlike all turbocharger systems and most older generation supercharger systems that use engine oil for lubrication (and therefore contribute to heating it), this kit employs it's own oil supply, integral oil pump, and oil cooling system.

Therefore, additional engine oil cooling is not compulsory with this system whilst driven under normal street driving conditions.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Noggie(hope you will run at time).

Thanks John, I also have sc's that doesn't need external oilcooling, but when you drive longer with more pressure, the motoroil is becomming hotter, therfore we installed a cooler.(there is a standard cooler for tropic regions available at the dealers).
I'm impressed by the compact unit you developed!
Success!

John,
This is shaping up to be a really neat install - have you considered a kit for the M62 V8?

Thanks again for the kind words, Dick -

Going forward, I will be sure to provide guidance for those owners who wish to have the "tropical" bits by updating my installation guide to reflect this.

I do want to reiterate, though, that additional engine oil cooling is not compulsory with this kit when driven under normal street driving conditions.

This is due to the extremely high efficiency of the made-to-order supercharger unit we're using which is able to achieve 98% drive efficiency and ~80% compressor efficiency. Most superchargers have much lower efficiency ratings (typically in the 65% range) and therefore inject much more heat into the intake tract.

Our higher efficiency supercharger coupled with the large intercooler keeps contributory engine heating to a minimum. The result is that engine operating temps are well within the design limits of the stock cooling system.

Of course, if you're tracking the car or going flat out on the autobahn then I would strongly recommend adding the CSi engine oil cooler to the car as well.

Yes. However with my time constraints, I fear it may be quite a long ways off.

Check all the connectors to the DMEs and the EML. Re-connect them - I've had a similar experience which resultet from a bad connection (which I didn't even see)

An aftermarket EML chip? Hasn't John supplied an EML chip with the package?
You know that you shouldn't use the chips which are designed for the normal engine..

Sorry to hear about the water hose. Happened to me, too - a big reason for aggrevation. But don't give up yet! You can make it..

Sorry to hear it's not yet running smoothly, but persevere all will be true, the merchant bankers that installed the S/c on my 840 left the oil supply hose loose , touching the top pulley, after a few miles ,all hell let loose but a new pipe later I was on my way

Keep the faith
