Guys.....
So right after I drove my baby home she decided to stop running. Since then it has morphed into a huge project that is nearing completion. I traded the 3fe for a 1fz-fe and "while I am in there" I built the motor up for forced induction. I grabbed one of the manifold blanks that were made up here and started to plan for a turbo. There was always a little birdy in the back of my head that said I should use a M90 S/C like I did on my jeep. Very cheap and easy to set up. I am currently in engineering school and have taken that opportunity to research efficiency of forced air. By way of school papers I have run into a few knowledgeable people along the way and have found a few things misinterpreted about "parasitic loss" and the advantages/disadvantages of S/C vs turbo. As I dont want to get into it, it has found me back in the S/C camp.
So...... a really long story just a bit shorter....... I am going to be mounting a M122 from a mustang on my 1fz. It is still relatively cheap compared to turbo, and I can mount it with a bit less trouble. Although this is yet to be seen. By rough measurements alone it looks like it should mount closely to the same as the TRD charger. The M122 will run much cooler than the TRD charger because it will be operating at the bottom of its efficiency map as apposed to the M90 TRD that is at the top of its efficiency. The M122 is a much newer and more refined S/C with different coatings and even helix. It will also have the opportunity for MUCH more power if a person wanted to go stand alone. If not it can be run with fairly large pulley which is easier to manage belt slipping as well as less torque/moment parasitic loss at low RPM. This configuration you can easily run the standard 5-10 PSI on the factory fueling/ECU combo. It should run much cooler in this range making for safer more predictable power across the board.
So my question would be....... I will be doing a carbon fiber intake or S/C manifold for mine. I am currently working as a mold designer/cnc programmer at a carbon fiber shop. If I were to put together a kit, with S/C, pulleys, belt, mounts(cnc aluminum pretty not simple plain crap), a molded carbon supercharger manifold. What would this be worth to you? I can get new takeoff S/Cs quite often, but it would depend on availability. Or I could just sell the accouterments minus the super charger and leave it up to you to get one off ebay. They usually run 600-1000 bucks.
I am not sure any of this would come to fruition, I am just gauging interest before I put a bunch of time and money into a mold. I can do it pretty easy by hand but it would look a lot nicer if I built a mold for it. It will also have a carbon fiber intake to the back of the compressor which is where the intake is on a 122. I am thinking I will go to the OEM air box since everyone seems to like to keep them.
I am not looking for any commitment at all. Just to see if there is enough interest to push this along a little faster than what I have been doing.
Thanks for your time
