  1. ok so i am a bit, but i have sold a lot of the parts as they where new and used some elsewhere, im only out by about 1k
  2. yer money and space and knowledge isnt the problem but im not throwing money away. i have already spent 5k+, im not silly i have gone on to other project and a different one with the supra now. ive put all the charger stuff in the stores and will await some more free time to research a rotrex one. good things come ot those who wait. and i cant be arsed lol. anyway, await the new project later this year, this one WILL be finnished as its a bit closer to what i do and by got its gonna thump
  3. well boys after much much hard graft and hours trawling the internet and wireing diagrams, i cant see a feesable system for small amounts of money (that means all the kit needed) to make the system dizzy-Less. so im putting the Eaton charger up for sale or ill throw it in the charger box and wait for a car to come along that wants it, or a monster truck. i am gonna research into the a Rotrex Style Fitment etc but probably not till the new year now, got a mountain on at work. so im not leaving it boys, just changing the angle.
  4. thats what i was trying to think of, been bugging me since i replied, well done
  5. i use plumbers pipe insulation, depending on the size of the pipe it can be quite cheap. i then wrap it in black gaffa (neatly), dosent look too bad and is softer than normal padding yet you wont bang through to the metal
  6. ok so this is what i need if anyone knows of it, 1 - VVTI engine and conversion pack to change my current n/a
  7. ill have a good look into it all and have a good dig ont he net. any info guys would be apreciated. "Dangerous", as much as your offer is generous, i do apreciate it but i dont really want to get into a "you own this bit and you own this but, i own that bit", its a massive potential for arguments. i have the money, not a problem, i have the workshops and i have knowledge. any advice and tech help is always gonna be apreciated though
  8. ill happlyly do advice and labour, not a problem. i am looking at just changing to elecronic ignition, however its gonna be easyer to have all the boost stuff already there with the engine. let me think on this. anyone got some info into changing to electronic ignition? any kits, prices etc?
  9. yer that was a centrifugal and i think $25k on the full project lol, i got money but i aint spending that, id rather buy a VXR8
  10. yer all possible, without that bloody dizzy
  11. good points. it is a big nightmare trying to fit it when theres a dizzy involved, bearing this in mind the cost is also huge, i already have a recipts folder for this project with 5k of receipts in it, also put some 360 physical man hours in to the fitting. i also need to salvage those new parts by applying them elswhere, so instead of forgetting the project im just aproaching from a different angle, that angle being a TT lump without the turbos, or with whatever takes my fancy. if anyone is wanting a supercharger fitted to an n/a non VVTI then my advice is Dont!, i have years of experience with charges, fitting them on a weekly basis, customising etc etc so i do know my stuff. the simple fact is on a non VVTI there is no room to do it, unless you modify even a Centrifugal one. on the personal effort one, it dosent bother me, its different, i dont want a TT like everyone else lol, i dont want a n/a like everyone else, i want to takle a different style
  12. yer the biggest problem with the non VVTI is the dizzy. the location its going is exactly where you said, however it has to be tilted and tucked to fit in there without hitting the dizzy. also clearance fromt he turret to the charger is so close. without running solid mounts it would hit, however ive bought a TT engine brace and going to be modifying that to fit. i still think a lot of you guys are looking at this as a Massive Power trip! its not for that, its simply to be different, if i only get 350bhp ill be happy, i can always up the pulley or do other mods IF i wanted to

    hello

    hey bud, welcome
  14. yer but its not an eaton type. thats what im takling with
  15. 4pm [sHOCK][/sHOCK] thats roast dinner time is matt gonna cook us all some grub?
  16. well no, it was to simply see if a 2jz could be charged with an Eaton charger. i have run into several problems with the n/a engine, being, dizzy, placement of the intake and a few others. now to save me the time of modify the n/a im just gonna fit the TT and then take the turbos off, put another exhaust on there or block the turbo ports then run the charger with the extra room. once all thats dont i can calculate what extra cost it would be to remove / replace the certain parts. its not like we can go down halfords and get an eaton supercharger kit for the 2jz the 2jzgte TT & Supercharged was on the board with a few others after this one
  17. your all missing the point, the only reason im swapping to a TT lump is because of fitting the intake and removing the dizzy. i dont see the point in doing the mod to remove the dizzy and whats the point in modding the intake? its much simpler to run a TT lump, without the turbos (therefore making it N/A) and fitting the charger that way
  18. ready for summer guys! thats summer 2010 when it will be fully working, no teething problems and wipping some TT butt! should have been done by now but ran in to a few problems, like my workshop build being delayed and also not being able to find someone to make me some custom pulleys for less than selling my house little change ont he engine side of things though, replacing the N/A with a TT so i have the extra room from where the dizzy was and saves me modifying the intake to run like a TT one. it is coming, youll all just have to be patient good things come to those who wait !!
