Project Thread Supercharged 5 speed SC400 - 2nd go with bigger goals

[ruishy1]

yeah im gonna wait and see, the exchange rate is not very favourable for me right now, so cheap=good !

 

[ruishy1]

any more updates on the car mate ?

 

[SuperRunner]

Well the mustang headers were a complete bust. Maybe the 4.6 would have been better. The passenger side hit the motor mount, which caused pretty much everything have to be completely re-done. The drivers side cleared the motor mount, but not the steering.

Basically I ended up cuttting both of them completely apart, and used an old MR2 ebay header I had for extra bends, and pretty much built these from all the scrap.

 

[ruishy1]

it would work for me then, as my steering is one the opposite side
so would only take the other header some work, what needed done to make it clear the mount ?
any chance you would be able to find out about cheap postage for a set of these to the uk ?
the company i emailed said 150 was the cheapest the offered

 

[SuperRunner]

they might work, but still require a little work since the ports don't line up. Your drivers side(right side)will still need to be redone due to engine mount.

 

[ruishy1]

il price everything up, byt the time i add the cost of headers, postage, making them fit, i could probably be just shy of buying rush ones

 

[SuperRunner]

rush are not equal length.

What is actually better, is just by 10 1 5/8" u-bends and some flanges.

 

[ruishy1]

i just dont have enough room to sit and make a complete set of equal length, whereas making a pair fit i could do in a day.

 

[ruishy1]

any updates ?
did you ever find out what the other tensioner was from ?

 

[SuperRunner]

none so far. Lots of family vacations lately, and looking to finish up and get rid of a few other projects before I continue with the SC. Got 2 MR2's that needed rebuilds(finished), and two turbo celica's, that need rebuilds as well.

I will see if I can find the box the pulley came in.

 

[ruishy1]

BAH stuff the rebuilds, get the SC done first
cheers, trying to source and adequate pulley, but no local factors keep any in stock to compare against

 

[themisfit]

what did u do with your m90?? is it up 4 grabs

 

[SuperRunner]

I am ditching the SC400. Sorry guys, moved the M112 stuff over to the 4runner.

Yes I am getting rid of the M90. Comes with the small 2.4" pulley. PM me if you are interested.
