Supercharged Phoenix is a go....

[jeffw]

So I've sorted out the details of the 'charger install and it is going to happen. It will consist of

1. Omex Supercharger Kit, which includes the Rotrex C30-94, mounting plate, alternator, idler and belts plus the supercharger oil system. Need to get a MAP sensor and wiring from Omex as well.
2. Nissan GTi-R Plenum (£45 2nd hand) which will have a modified backplate from one of the guys on Locostbuilders. I all also get a MAP plenum from the same source.
3. Universal 2.5" intercooler off eBay...
4. New Pico Injectors (450cc)
5. Fitting by me (with some extras from ATSpeed)
6. Mapping with some fettlng by ATSpeed
This will make 260-270 BHP on 0.6 Bar of boost.

Once that has settled down and funds recovered I'll look at getting the Omex Rods & Pistons fitted which will drop the compression down to 10:1 and allow the charger to run 1bar of boost. This should make over 340BHP. The kit is capable of 400BHP but I don't think the gearbox or axle will take that.

The widebodied rear end is being done by Steve at Fury Sportscars and consists of the arches from a racing Fury put in place of the stock Phoenix rear arches and rear of the car painted. This will increase the width on the back from 60" to 64" and allow me to run 8J wheels with 215/225 section 13" tyres.

I was also thinking about a wrap based on a Martini Racing colour scheme but I'll wait to see how the rest works out.

Winter upgrades are go...

ooh thats useful!

Sounds great Jeff, thats the charger i have on my car i think it gives more flexability in the long run.

So the modifications commence. The car is off the see Steve at Fury Sports Cars this week for the bodywork changes and have the engine/box out. The box is off to BGH to be rebuilt and the engine is off to ATSpeed to have Omex forged pistons & rods put in which will drop the compression ratio to 10:1. Once the parts are all back together I will get the car back to fit the supercharger (and intercooler) and then it is off to ATSpeed to get the car mapped. Omex reckon that the car will make low 300s power wise with 1bar boost....we shall see. My plenum has arrived from Flak Monkey and I have trial fitted it.

With 300horses you won't need reverse; It'll swap ends whenever you want it too. I remember Omex's supercharged Striker at Llandow. Was lighting up the back wheels at will in 4th down the back streight untill it melted the drive belt.

[jeffw]

Yeap....they have moved on a bit since then lol. Richard was running closer to 400 on that day I think. Should be fun though....we must have a rematch once it is all done...somewhere which long straights lol

[matt_gsxr]

That looks rather familiar to my engine bay.

What kind of charger are you planning to fit? Some work better with ITB than others (I guess).

That throttle cable run looks a bit compromised.

Keep up the photos.

It is going to have a Omex kit which is (I think) the Rotrex C30-94. The throttle run is fine and not compromised....
