Supercharged 20B S1

got this, my fiances car



and this (this is in my JC Cosmo)



now its time to make these fit











scoop looks a little big on the 4/71 and I have a buyer for it so even more the reason to get a 6/71 when I find one
most likely ditching the 4 barrel also for one single large tb that will go on a custom plenum
will be intercooled with PWR barrel cooler and a water/ice tank and radiator

s5 gear box , ford 9" possi track LSD with strange 31 spline billet axels

the front is a Group C race front that is modified to work without the montrous Group c flares, but there is someone around in OZ making a front already like this. ( I am in NZ)
cost was aroud $350NZ + modifications

the simmons are 16x7 front and 16x8 rear, the offset has been made so the outer rim sits 1" further out than usual so they fill the flares put properly. We realy want to sell them and go to 17x8 front and 17x11rear (they will fit)

up date, s1
engine mounted now as is the gearbox and 9" diff thanks to Kerry at TGA.

this is sort of how everything will be layed out.





the polystyrene mount will obviously be relaced will an allow se up to mount the scoop and filters, it will also be only about half as high



the barrel cooler is a tight fit, even more so will be the engine radiator which is going to take some creative work. it will lay right forward into the bumper bar. It will come back right under the barrel cooler which will mean we have to move the factory cross bar and re engineer that. The cooler radiator will fit in front of the engine radiator. The oil cooler 9factroy JC Cosmo item) will mount in the side of the front spoiler with a cosworth or similar vent feeding it with a fan mounted on it also. Its going to be tight to fit everything thats for sure



finaly got all our gauges, now to make them fit lol


speedo, tacho, fuel level, volts, fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, boost

also my two (yes two) pwr engine radiatiors, and the water air cooler radiater are on the way

I think that going to be a custom piece. I never seen a production intake for a blower that big.
