The supercharger is on it own switch but when it was on the extra load on the engine would make it stall so i used the idle up device for the a/c, all it does is when I switch the supercharger on it activates the idle up device which is bascically just a soleniod valve which lets some more air past the throttle body.
As for the air flow meter it is mounted in front of the supercharger the problem is that beacause the S/C is in front of the throttle body it builds up alot of pressure on the butifly when it is closed. so I fitted a bypass valve which opens at vacum and lets air flow back past the super charger. when I back off at high reves it pushes alot of air back and this slams the afm shut thats why it has carked it. As for the computer it handled the extra boost fine but it was only 2 pound cause I need to spin the S/C faster. I am getting a new ecu now so i can bum off the afm and up the boost.
The S/C is off a 1G-GZE (sc14) and you should be able to get one for about $350. I have fitted an intercooler off a skyline it's not real big but it made a big difference plus its funny to see peoples faces when they see it through the grill. ( some laugh and thinks it just fake til I switch it on and leave em in smoke.) It does take up a fair bit of room once all the piping is on but it fits pretty nice. I can't wait til i have the new ecu and boost turned up.




Cool, so I'd probably want to source an idle up device, as you called it, from an aircon system, (Is that right? Do all aircon systems use them)?, and with the air pressure problem, which you just, by the looks of it, did a plumb back, install a BOV.

Your AFM was after the filter, but before the SC? And you controlled boost on the SC itself, or do you have a boost contoller? (Sorry if I sound real noob at this, I havn't had SC experiences before, and this sounds really worthwile to get to know). Plus this sounds MUCH cheaper to do than getting a $5000AUD turbo kit, thus, within my means. Smile

As for space, that's where I have no worries. I have a TON of room under the bonnet of my car. Smile

EDIT: with the idle thing from the aircon, I should be able to get from a wreck, or buy it from an auto electriction/aircon installer? Same as the aircon switch I could use for it to activate it too I guess. I understand I already have the wiring in for an aircon system, so I guess those wires should be in the area where the aircon bolts on.

Oh yea, you just used a belt that fitted onto the SC that then hooked onto where it would in the system to power the AC unit from? I'm guessing you did, sorry if these Q's sound so obvious.
