Default My Supercharger Project

Thought some of you might be interested in my supercharger project.
Its based on a B20F and uses a Rotrex supercharger mounted where the alternator used to sit. I have fabricated my own bracket out of aluminium and turned a new crank pulley incorporating a 8 groove pully to drive the Rotrex.
Idler pulleys are from a Sierra Cosworth.

I have junked the D Jetronic system (all parts available if anyone needs them).
Instead i am using a Megasquirt v2.5 to manage fuel and ignition. Original D Jet injectors replaced with Cosworth yellow injectors which use the same mounting hardware. Throttle position sensor replaced with a Bosch unit from a Volvo 850.
A Ford air temperature sensor fitted to the inlet manifold. A Ford water temperature sensor fitted into the head. A wide band Lambda sensor is mounted in the Simonz 4 branch exhaust manifold. A manifold absolute pressure sensor is integral on the Megasquirt board. The original engine driven fuel pump supplies a Swirl Pot mounted under the bonnet. From the swirl pot a Bosch high pressure pump feeds the injectors via a FSE fuel pressure regulator. This returns to the swirl pot and the swirl pot returns to the tank.
Ignition uses the Ford EDIS wasted spark system. A 36-1 trigger wheel is mounted on the crank pulley and is witnessed by a Ford VR sensor. This supplies timing signals back to the Megasquirt.

The outlet from the spercharger feeds the inlet via a Sierra Cosworth intercooler which fits nicely in front of the radiator.

I just need to wire it all up now and then see how it goes.
