Waterbridge adjustment for supercharger

[Arnout]

hey guys,

i need to put my supercharger as low as possible. I was thinking anyone already adjusted the front waterbridge so it's out of the way for the supercharger? Maybe some pics?

Hey Arnout, from memory, someone here, (perhaps Scotturnot?) figured out a way to eliminate one of the bridges by using SS braided hose & fittings. Seems like it might have been the rear bridge, as I don't know how he would've adapted the t'stat housing & fittings.

 

[Arnout]

Is the rear bridge actually really required at all. I think there is no flow at all there when the heater is closed.

No reason you can't do as John mentioned and fit a remote thermostat housing. Wouldn't be hard to do

Modified Water bridge

"As low as possible" is limited by the intake runners, the supercharger mounting flange has sit on top of the runners. For the M112, you only need to cut out about 3/4" out of the back of the water bridge to bring the supercharger forward about 3/4" to align the pulleys. I move the radiator intake connection to align it to the belt path while I'm at it.
