Real CF and resins. Not a fan of wrapping. I like CF for its physical properties more than for aesthetics! Very tedious making moulds…working on a CF rad support at the minute in between projects.

u can get real carbon fibre wrap, has to be resined onto of the exsisting part.
finsh is awsome when its done…

Indeed but deep down you'd be a poser.

Thanks guys :)
Dave, dummy throttle as in one on the SC to reduce noise? Maybe, but not a priority at the moment. If I didn't have the clutch, for sure, but most of the time I have the SC off for cruising about. If the clutch doesn't hold up with the overdrive pulley I'll look into it. Haven't got pulled yet :| Probably will after writing this :lol:

Sorry for being completly stupid here but u can choose when to run the SC or not? or do u just mean when u have it on the car and off lol
-
Yep the m62 supercharger pulley has an electronically controlled clutch. I have mine wired into my front fog light circuitry, as I no longer have fogs and it provided a convenient fused switch. You can see in the video that I have to have my sidelights on to run the SC. So I can go back to stealth with the flick of a switch :)
In it's original car (SLK) I think mercedes have it programmed to only turn on the clutch when you are at wide open throttle or near enough.
-
that is awsome lol
so does megasquirt have the option to memorise differnt settings, surely u dont use the same map when its off?
This is all new to me and very intreged :D !
-
That's a common misconception that I had myself before I had MS. It uses the same map, but a different part of the map. When you boost it uses the top end of the map/fuel table, so a map for a boosted car just covers a greater range of kPa (measurement of Manifold Absolute Pressure).
-
Did you have any problems with finding mounting places for the Charger? I am hoping to acquire an Eaton M45 within a few weeks for mine. Seeing it done (all be it on a bigger engine) has given me more confidence in getting my car charged.
-
Thats good to know marco cheers, when my plans start to unfold are you ok with taking time with me to help with MS? I know there lots of info out there but with urself its all on the MX3 wont be for a wee while though
