A couple of pics of my new setup
After much deliberation, I decided to ditch my Weber blow-through plans in favor of this:
Camden 7" supercharger with an Edelbrock 600. No vids yet, because the belt slips under hard boost. I'm hoping sandblasting the pulley and switching to a better belt will fix it. Even so, the drivability and low-end power are impressive, though the carb seems to bog a bit. I don't know if it's just too big or what. I'm still waiting for my wideband to arrive so I can get it tuned better.
The turbo will go in my REPU instead, with a real TII engine and EFI.

Fuel pressure, you mean? It's currently set at just under 5 PSI, which is the limit of that regulator. I plan on switching to a Holley reg at some point so I can have more adjustability and so the current one can be used in another car.

I'm still running the same short side-exit exhaust system I was before. I wasn't going to spend a bunch of money on a nice exhaust when I was just going to take it back off anyway when I installed the turbo, but since I'm no longer going to be installing a turbo, naturally I'll have to do something about it.

^ I don't know what the Weber is going into yet. The turbo is going into my truck as I mentioned.
I actually don't remember what the fuel pump is. It's an off-brand German pump. I can't remember what it says on it, and it's snowing right now, so I don't really want to go look. It seems to work pretty well, though. The FPR is a Malpassi Petrol King if you're curious.
Oh, and I forgot to answer your other question. Yeah, it's a nitrided R5 13B with a large streetport. Probably more overlap than I'd ideally want with a supercharger, but whatever.

Lol, whoops, I forgot about this thread.
There's a reason I don't have video yet. The belt was really slipping at first, and almost immediately after I fixed that, the clutch went. We decided to wait and upgrade the exhaust at the same time as changing the clutch, but the weather hasn't been good until just recently. It's now finally done... almost.
We used the stock muffler as a placeholder in the new exhaust system, but ran out of time to actually hack off the old and weld on the new. So currently I'm running a collected RB header, RB presilencer, and a stock muffler.
I hope to get the Borla installed within the next few days if the weather cooperates. I could get video now if you guys want, but trust me, it sounds awful.
Dyno time is coming soon. All I know for sure is that it has (significantly) more than 144 WHP.
For now, how about some pics of my new motor mounts?

Heh. Look closer.
I haven't tried Banzai mounts, but mine feel pretty similar to Racing Beat's competition mounts for $80 less (and I can make more for only a few bucks).
