Looks great, stay safe!
So managed to make it back safe from my trip away, awesome adventure
So now back on to getting this finished
Came back to a few new parts
New itg filter for the charger
Some 2118's
I have some pms engine mounts on order so just waiting for them to get made at the moment, I also bought a x-low Jon foz subframe for my drivers seat as being 6ft1 and having a slider fitted my helmet was about 5mm off the roof , awesome product very impressed with it, I can now fit my fist in the gap
Took a massive hit the other week and bought this
That's a k tec S/c bracket btw, with running the sm inlet my charger brackets would just not fit, I could have made my own but for the time and effort involved to make it, k tec are 10 minutes down the road, £300 please

Tbf it's a very well manufactured piece of kit, just pricey as I only needed the triangular shaped bit
Funnily enough they are now made from steel lol
182, SQ7, Trafic
How strange [emoji23][emoji23]
So managed to get some rubber on to some metal
And then put them on
Ph1 on 2118s - not convinced just yet, but will give it time
But better than the pro race 2 imo so if anybody wants a set that need refurbed in 16s cheap drop me a pm

Loving your progress, anymore up dates?

Any side on shots with the wheels on [emoji1303].
Looks good so far

Thanks guys, no real photos but will get some when I get back to work
As for updates, I'm now at the stage of making a support bracket that fits around the sm inlet
As you can see there is no space to run the stabilizer bar that bolts to the block so a little bit of work is needed to get around this

Your right Danny . The cup setup doesn't use that bar .
Why not just use the cup setup to get around this issue the SM inlet poses.
Ahh : Just read : Charger bracket [emoji1303]. Now I see.

The cup bracket is not usable due to the supercharger bracket, as this bolts to the standard 172/182 a/c bracket, although I have looked st making it all fit
Some new funky mounts turned up today, got to love Christmas gifts for yourself
so had a bit more time on the car this weekend
engine mounts are in, so much space
so then needed to move the battery to the boot/under seat, i am going for boot as will be fitting a large battery, done it correctly with a through bulk head connector, looks fairly smart
finally got round to sorting a bracket to replace the support bar, its not great looking but its very robust and should stop any movement side to side
cars looking a little bit neglected at the moment but bodywork and wax are wayyyy down the list
and the duty workshop sticker seems to found a home......knobbers

So got the new exhaust fitted today - rather rare now, yozza race system
Then switched to getting the charger sorted
Mounted up all fine, then turned my attention to addressing the imo 3 - 4 major failing points of the s/c on clios
1. Overspeeding
2. Overheating
3.Alignment / elevation of oil circuit
4. Fragile brackets
1 and 4 are sorted with the bigger pulley and new stainless steel brackets
So number 2 and 3 I have tried to follow Rotrex advice
"To prevent oil leaks it is of utmost importance that the oil cooler, oil filter and the oil canister with its cap are placed below or level with the supercharger shaft"
I have positioned it all like this
So not to bad for alignment imo bar the oil cooler but that can't be helped, placing in this position will massively aid cooling though
s/c oil cooler on left in large volumes of airflow
And the view of the oil reservoir through my brake duct
So also in plenty of airflow, I will also be fitting a temp sensor and gauge inline to monitor temps , in this location I will also be able to easily check fluids
So just to plumb it all in tomorrow

Very nice progress and logical solutions to the issues you're trying to address !
With the bigger pulley what sort of power are you hoping for ?

I should be looking at about 320 but will be happy with 300, looking to go no higher than .8 bar of boost

Top work Sir.
Top work.
Top work.
All plumbed in now so now to turn attention to intake and intercooler fitting
So after a trial fit of my charger intake, I found it was still too small a space for the filter location I wanted, loads of searching around and I came up with this
Much shorter and fits my spal fan very well, it's from a 1.5 dci Clio
Radiator was £26 delivered so absolute bargain and fan was "free" from work
This allows the filter to sit in very nicely, just in front of the radiator, rather than behind it
So should get a whole lot of cold stuff right there
Also looks rather rugged from the front
Now just to plumb it all together and some serious wiring to do
