Supercharger help

4freeman

Hello - This is my first post but I've been wading through the archives for some time and need a bit of help.
I have a vx220 that has a - Stage 3 AMD conversion:

1632 cams
Lightened flywheel
modified cylinder head
Full Miltek exhaust system including hi-flow cat
Fully enclosed (carbon) air-filter

I would like to stage 2 supercharge the car and wondered how the current setup I have - in particular the cams - will perform. Ideally I would like to keep it as it is.
I already have a supercharged and inlet manifold but no support bracket, I would like to machine my own bracket but need to find one I can copy - I know it's a long shot but does anyone have the dimensions for the GM one (just the hole centres) or even better one I could borrow - I would only need it for a day.
Any help is really appreciated.

the cams will most likely be stage 1, so should be ok for the stage 2 sc. The Milltek will work well and also be track friendly.

As for the support bracket i have not seen any dimensions mentioned, but you could just fit it to the engine and measure whats required or buy a ready made bracket by ProAlloy from Joe_589

Thanks for the reply - I'm keen to make my own bits so will probably do as you say and size up from my car.

I'm trying to do this conversion as cheaply as possible and so I wondered if it would be possible to use an intercooler setup from a Turbo car - mounted in the side vent as a chargecooler?
I don't want to compormise the reliability of the car as I use it everyday but would this cause major problems if I do it along with the dual pass mod?
Sorry if these questions have all been asked before.

The inlet/outlet of an intercooler are much larger than the 19mm (I think) hose you need to run from the manifold end plate

you can use a side mounted cooler, but it won't be as efficient

There is a vx220 Beds meet on 3rd june over at Dave the Trimmers near Woburn Sands, pop along and we can have a chat. Probably be half a dozen vx220SC there as well

Thanks - I will do that, it would be good to see some sc setups first hand.
