Yes the M45 is quite a lot smaller but I see what you mean now. Yes it will need a relocated oil filter, my biggest concern, however, goes with the placement. On the 4 cylinder, the placement of the driving pulleys seem to leave little space for anything else let alone a charger, I feel there may have to be a lot of re jigging involved :?
Whilst I'm on the subject. Did you change the pistons? I've been advised to get some with a lower rate of compression to make it work properly…

Hmm couldn't comment on the Bseries, never had one. I'd imagine there to be more room! Nope I'm still on 10:1 ZE pistons! Just means I've less room for fk ups!

Simply awesome :D
-
Thanks dude :)
Just finished my first full tank since the supercharger. It included a round trip to Dublin to see Blink182.
300 miles for the tank
40 litres used
34.1 mpg:D Still running a bit rich cruising too! 35+ here we come…
-
Very impressive, im sure mines about 20 lol
-
filter needs to be moved for the 45 as well
-
Not much going on atm! So here's some photos. New gauge pod in.
-
Loving the flaming exhaust very F&F. 8)
-
Nice pictures, looking real nice :D
I have some Mr Sheen here for the dashboard if you need any :lol:
-
THanks mechanic :) Call me torreto… :lol:
DJ... you cheeky :x haha that dust is pretty bad, and thanks :)
-
Well hasn't my engine just gone to sh**
-mega blow by, oil escaping anywhere it can
-head gasket starting to fail and weeping out rear bankSo I have another KLDE bought, haven't decided to build it up with forged bits or not. Really need to make some decisions on what I want to do.
In the meantime, I've been working on my latest engineering project:
Heavily inspired by clairetoo and leo323 :)
-
Throttle bodies FTW!! Is that on a KLDE?? More info please!! :wink:
-
haha well that's on my old k8 atm, I just use it for prototyping on as it's largely the same. What would you like to know?
-
marco, im starting to hate you lol, is there nothing you wont try or have on a mx, all that is left now is to slap a turbocharger on there !!.
I have been seriously considering throttle bodie conversion but i want to know power estimates before hand as if i did anything to ze id want min 250bhp for all the hard work. Claire got 206bhp out of the de engine, so there is a bit of hope for good gains on a ze. And an 11 sec 323 is not to be sniffed at either !!.
As always loving the work, keep it up !
-
I wish I had the knowledge to go that far with my car.
I do have a camera that takes photos into the future and took this of sooty in 2015, loving the work :D

As always loving the work, keep it up !lol… Well I shall also be running a DE engine, I'm stilling deciding what comp ratio to run with my ZE dying. 250bhp I think would require some high lift cams, and maybe some higher comp pistons. I'll be probably port out the DE heads before so I'll see where that takes it with kl31 cams.

I just read about it and then try it! Just go for it!

i wish i had your brain marco lol it would help alot with my drag car project lol great work so far
