Quality mate, i trust your keeping the nos aswell?.

I'll sell the nos kit and fit water injection

[Volvostorm]

Looking good mate, I'm liking the twin inlet intercooler

[claymore]

well just won this on ebay, so the Volvo will go off the road on the first of December.

[Murphy]

Awesome!!!!

[p fandango]

you removed one of the ports on the Noble IC or is the FMIC another one? Are you going to be able to close the bonnet with the top mount or you going to bulge it?

very interested to see how it goes

[claymore]

I'v blanked off all the original pipes and welded new ones on where I need them.
I suspect there will be a hole in the bonnet ;), not sure what I'm going to do there yet.

[The Flying Moose]

Very much looking forward to seeing the finished product now and by the looks of things besides mounting the intercooler, slipping a belt on and connecting some pipes you aren't that far off.

Nice work claymore :)

[Murphy]

BTW I didn't think nobles were intercooled, unless it's my error and there is an intercooler manufacturer called noble - oops

[claymore]

Noble M400 is twin turbo.
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u258/claymore2k/untitled-3.jpg

[lance]

This looks very intresting, keep it up

[claymore]

It doesnt look like a lot has been achived today, but it's amazing how much time making brackets takes. so both intercoolers are now fitted

I can even close the bonnet, but i need to have a bit of a think about the strut brace.

I think it's going to take a while yet, now that I'v nearly got everything where I want it, I need to sort out some new samco. and I still need to sort out an oil cooler.

[Jamest5r]

James Lister motorsport in w. bromwich have loads of samco on the shelf in all sorts of shape and sizes, might be worth a visit.

[Volvostorm]

Col, theres a place in Roden that does silicon hoses, different colours too ;)

where in Roden? all I see there is a nursery and the dog rescue.

[Volvostorm]

Answer your phone, and I'll tell you! :P

[claymore]

thanks for the heads up Paul, I now have my silicone joiners.

[shrekblackR]

Looking fantastic mate hope it all goes well good luck

[RICA340]

just read through the thread looks like an awesome project

[Volvostorm]

thanks for the heads up Paul, I now have my silicone joiners.

No worries mate, glad to have helped

[woking rob]

So u gonna keep the turbo as well as the supercharger?

[claymore]

Indeed, hence the two intercoolers.

[t5 pete]

looking forward to seeing this claymore

[woking rob]

Thought so I was looking at doing this to my old one, ppl kept saying about the super charger stalling the turbo so I won't come on boost, have u thought about this?

This is usually spouted by people who don't understand how a supercharger works.
It should start boosting from tickover.

[woking rob]

Cool I'd this works I'm next lol

[claymore]

Not much to see, I need a couple more silicone bits and My radiator from Paul (Hassell), then she should be running
Heres a couple of picks of the Mounts, I'll take them off and tidy them up and give them a coat of paint once I'm sure they work ok

And a quick tot up of the costs so far
Supercharger: £100
Noble intercooler: £42
Pulsar intercooler: £37
Saab 9-5 Oil cooler: £19
Silicone joiners: £81

Total so far: £279

[t5_monkey]

I gotta see this project when it's done! Very interesting indeed.

[claymore]

Humm, I need to have a re-think, any sugestions? I might cut about an inch off the bottom and see what that looks like, I don't want it to look to obviously a pulsar scoop.

[claymore]

I'v now got all the pipe fittings I need, so did a bit of plumbing today, just a few bits to sort out, my radiator arived today (Thanks Paul) so that's it, I have the last piece of the jigsaw.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u258/claymore2k/img-1264070181.jpg
I'v cut about an inch off the hight and got rid of the front bit, I may go lower yet.

Very much looking forward to seeing this up and running, you've got till saturday! ;)

Just make sure you get that first fire up on video.

[t5 pete]

the bonnet it looking much better not you have cut it down

[Alan M]

Lift the bonnet at the rear Colin to let the heat out if using the scoop. I'm looking forward to seeing it run.

I have a cunning plan to get the heat out:crazy:

[p fandango]

thats ALOT better, i'm interested in a full engine bay pic with all the pipes in to see whats plumbed where & how if thats possible (just curious)

[claymore]

thats ALOT better, i'm interested in a full engine bay pic with all the pipes in to see whats plumbed where & how if thats possible (just curious)

Not a lot more to see Duane, pipe out of the turbo straight into the top mount, then you can see the long pipe out of the top mount down to a "U" silicone into the Supercharger, out of the Supercharger into the bottom of the Front mount, then from the top of the Front mount into the Throttle Body, Theres a take off for the Idle controle valve and I need one more take off for the Superchargers Recirc valve. I hope that makes sense.

[p fandango]

ah i see nice one, i didn't know if they worked in series with each other or parallel

[claymore]

The idea is that the supercharger compresses the boost out of the turbo, so I have the potential for about 35psi, but wont be going much over 20psi, if it all works I might put my superturbo T70 on :)

[p fandango]

shame i haven't got any pictures of the hybrid supercharger/turbo my bro bought for his 100e. A very weird thing which was just like a turbo (4 ports) but with a pulley on a clutch system mounted at the end. Worked as a supercharger for the low revs then disengaged & ran off the exhaust once the speed built up

[Volvostorm]

Bonnet vent looks better cut down, much less chav like

[claymore]

Well as prommised, a vid of the first start, unfortunately I'v run out of hose clips so I can't rev the engine (it just blowes the boost pipe off as soon as i close the throttle)
still to do, fit the oil cooler (I'v just bypassed it for now) modify bottom hose and then tidy up. then comes the slow process of mapping it using a dastek unichip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-RHqe3l19Y

[Volvostorm]

Cool! Sounds like a chainsaw! :P

I'll have to pop over and have a nose ;)

[Alan M]

Excellent Colin. Can't wait to see the final completed setup.

[claymore]

I now have a hole in the bonnet, (still a lot of fetteling to do yet)
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u258/claymore2k/2011-01-29112507.jpg

And now we have boost, (don't these mobile phones have crap sound quality)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDJcHWX42Go

[t5_monkey]

Wow I'm getting excited this is a super awesome project :-)

Your gonna be supercharged AND turbocharged with this?

[claymore]

Your gonna be supercharged AND turbocharged with this?


Yes, I have the capacity to go to about 35psi, but I'll stick to about 20psi :)

[T5frankie]

Yes, I have the capacity to go to about 35psi, but I'll stick to about 20psi :)

20 psi through the turbo?

[claymore]

20 psi through the turbo?

16psi from the turbo, 10psi from the supercharger when compounded will give me about 35psi, I'll run the turbo at about 8psi.

[claymore]

well it moves, kept the boost right down for now while I see how she feels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKCa_29pLF8

[T5frankie]

how did it feel mate?

That my man is a question we will all have to wait for the answer. The end goal is to get over 300whp (without the nitrous)for as little money as possible.

get to santa pod for some testing lol

[claymore]

I upped the boost today (bloodey hell it feels strong) and spent the day putting pipes back on...lol, I must have jacked the car up about 10 times today..lol
so I'v took off all my alloy joiners and will weld beads on them all tomorrow, I knew I'd have to do that anyway but I wanted to wait until I had all the pipe runs sorted.

[Jamest5r]

Im impressed mate, :wow:

[T5frankie]

Im impressed mate, :wow:

some competition for you james?

[WOODY T5]

and me then lol

[Volvostorm]

You have beaten me to getting their car back out mate :) looks and sounds nice

[claymore]

All the pipes are staying on now, so it's ready to go for it's mot on tuesday (it's going to fail on a wishbone and a split drive shaft gaiter, but I can't get the hub nut undone, so they'r going to crack it open for me at the mot, then I'll change the wishbone and do the gaiter and take it back)
have some picks:

the back slot in the bonnet will be to let hot air out.
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u258/claymore2k/2011-02-13110749.jpg
The scoop is partitiond the front draws cold air onto the tmic, the back half lets out hot air (I may have to make a bigger hole in the back)

The more i see of this the more i like it, how's it running on the road?.

[claymore]

I'm keeping the boost down to about 10psi at the moment, but it feels so torquie

[Chopster]

Good on you Claymore, keep us updated ;)

[Murphy]

very interesting project. I imagine the fuelling will be interesting as you start adding boost. Will you spend any time on a rolling road with it?

[claymore]

Yes I'm waiting for a wiring diagram for the dastek, then it will be on the rollers for a mapping.

[Al115]

Awesome stuff :)

[claymore]

Well, as expected, the car faild it's MOT today, but only on what I was expecting, cv gaiter, bottom ball joint and a slight issue with emissions.

[claymore]

Now back on the road, let the fun begin

[T5frankie]

go and do some testing at santa pod

[claymore]

It still needs to be mapped yet, I'm waiting for a wiring diagram for the ecu.

[t5_monkey]

awesome...

what power are you hoping for ? :D

can't wait to see what this can do on the strip.

[claymore]

The hope is to start off at 300bhp, then when I make my 3" exhaust, we'll re-map it again, then over a period of time keep upping the boost, eventually hoping for 400bhp with the new bottom end. but that will be a long time off, I'm very pleased with the top mount, the intake air temps are beter than they ever were with the standard interboiler.

Sounds good - what turbo are you running on it... you got a 19T or something bigger ? :)

I would imagine the boost build will be more linear so less danger of bent rods at lower rpm!

The whole point of fitting the supercharger is the ability to have upto 35psi with the standard 15g turbo, it will be mapped to keep the torque below 500nm

[claymore]

I now have a strut brace again (don't laugh)
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u258/claymore2k/2011-03-01144052.jpg

[smithy]

thats sounds wild and its dam quick mate

[t5 pete]

looks and sounds brill are you going to bring it to york

[claymore]

looks and sounds brill are you going to bring it to york

when it's been mapped, yes I'll bring it up for a laugh, I'm sure I'm going to need a stronger bottom end sooner rather than later ;)

Thats good it cetainly looks impressive on the video

[Jamest5r]

Im still impressed mate, would be really nice to hear it on full chat once it's been mapped, can understand why your holding back :)

[Chopster]

We're all going to be looking for superchargers now... :mischievo

[cameron]

Sounds brilliant :D

And bloody quick, the Vauxhall Agila or whatever it was looked like it was stood still as you overtaken it.

Do you still have the vac pump connected to the dash turbo guage and whats the dial doing ?

[t5_monkey]

that looks erm.... rapid!!

I think you may have just edged over the national limit by a mile per hour or two in parts of that video :D

Looking forward to seeing it run at York :)

[claymore]

Not at all, I don't think I even got up to 50mph ;), the camera makes it look quicker.

Lots of people who will see the car will probably take the piss out of it. BUT we all know the reason its there. Thumbs up!!

[claymore]

Ever since I've had the car I've been annoyed that both near side doors had dents in them below the bump strip, and the near side wing had rust bubbling through, so today I swapped them all for a set the same colour, Every job I do on this car amazes me at how well thought out the design of the car is, the only hiccup I had was swapping the front door handle (I know the trick now).

[Jamest5r]

In a sick sort of way i really like that Colin nice one, how's it driving now? got the wiring done for the ecu and mapping?.

Cheers

[claymore]

Afraid not, I'm waiting for a wiring diagram off Tim Williams, unfortunately his PC has crashed, so I'v got to wait untill he get's it sorted, so at the moment she's just a boaring old T5.

It's on the rollers next sunday (17th) but it still hasn't been mapped yet, so it's still running rich, I'v been using it with the charger dissconected for the past few weeks, but now that I'v got another runabout, reconnected the SC again, also fitted my catch tank today.

[T5frankie]

what did it make out of interest?

[claymore]

what did it make out of interest?

That's a hard one to answer, it did 275 bhp, but the time before on the same rollere it did 282bhp and then a few weeks later it did 254 bhp on HLM rollers.

Any body got some thoughts on using TurboTuner to map the car.
This is what she ran like unmapped,.....lol
Adam came & demo'd the Turbo Tuner on BT, & it is an amazing piece of kit. I won't be using it to its full advantage because i've got the Apexi boost controller. He thought it was very funny to set the speed limiter to 30mph without telling me on the test drive lol

& as Frankie said, what did you run?

[The Flying Moose]

I too have seen a small demo of Turbo-Tuner and I too think its a fantastic bit of kit. I think you need to talk to Adam Colin as he of course is a subject matter expert.

Off topic would it be possible for you to collect some parts for me from T4Al? if not i can get them collected. Cheers

[claymore]

the tires are from my local breakers, i get them for free, but they'r probably only good for one day. if you do want some, he does a pair of part wornes for £50, as for the bits from Al, that's no problem at all, what are you having off him, do you want me to pay for the stuff to save on paypal fees?

nitrous .034 fuel .018 which will give me around 50hp

I spent the morning bolting the car all back together, just when I was about finished (just fitting the downpipe) what do I spy on the floor? a bloody exhaust manifold gasket :( , so off with the turbo again and the manifold and start all over again.
4:30 and it's all back together and running, ££££ me it's loud lots of banging on the over-run, :) just got to let the ecu learn again now.

Well, lets just say, it's hitting 26psi now, but because the way the supercharger deliveres it, its all smooth with no big punch, if you understand what i mean, but it spent about 75% of the time spinning the wheels. the interest it generated was phenomenal

Decided to take the duct that I had fiberglassed onto the scoop off, and instead mount one on the tmic itself, this should make it easyer for me to create a hot air extraction system to try and get rid of some of the heat build up in the engine bay when the car has just finished a quarter mile run.

I'll paint it black once I'v got it how I want it.

[claymore]

Well the car has been at the tuners for a fortnight now, and the news isn't good, it looks like the engine is knackered now, due to all the running on tick over, the over-fueling has washed the bores and she's breathing really badly now, but we'll keep persevering with this engine for the time being, One run saw just shy of 330bhp, fitted a bigger maf housing today (Vauxhall Omega 3ltr V6) quite handy as the maf sensor from the Volvo is a straight swap.

Ahhh mate sorry to hear that but 330 is mighty impressive, could'nt you leave it as it was then? or is it only over-fueling on tick over but fine when running/boosting?

It's all over the place, hoaping the bigger maf housing will do the trick tomorrow, or the TurboTuner will be for sale and going for Omex stand alone system.

Indeed a good power figure but I guess where the engine has been overfueling with the supercharger fitted it was always going to cause damage to the engine long term :(

[JT]

yea good figures,shame about the problems.

do you think the TT is not suited to a supercharger??

Not sure yet, just when it seems to be getting somewhere, the car seems to go into limp mode, never did anything like that with the HLM ecu

[JT]

thats strange?????

I'm no expert on the mapping thats why I leave it up to someone else,but he hasnt reported problems like that with my TT. would you like me to ask him of another opinion?
I can call him tomorrow.

Adam's says he can do me a version which disables all the fault codes, it might help you by deleting the limp mode as well

[claymore]

I'll wait until after the weekend before I decide what to do, but the consensus of opinion is the air going through the standard maf housing is to fast for the ecu to compensate, so lets see what this 80mm maf housing does

[JT]

ok,fair enough
goodluck with it

That sounds like what mine was doing with the tt.

We'd get it set up how i wanted, fueling spot on etc. Then take it on a test drive it would fly one minutethen all of a sudden go into gimp mode.
When this happened it was putting so much fuel in it would hardly run and the wideband was maxed out ???????

I did mention this to adam and also asked if he could check it over for me but I never actually followed it up when the car came off the road because I thought it might not have been that.

Hope you get it sorted soon though mate

Hmmm, that doesn't sound to promising! Hope mine doesn't do the same.

[WOODY T5]

good figures that mate hope u sort it out.

That's a bit worrying, if it is faulty, that means i'v chucked a heap of money at the tuners for no reason and scraped an engine.
