The Miata guys run dual TB's with good success. It shouldn't be too hard for you to rig something up. You're MAP-based, which makes tuning easier too.

05 is map? you sure ?

 

[anothernord]

I thought so. You can go look though, its pretty easy to tell.

 

[Y_I_K_E_S]

Nope. The 05 is most definately MAF. The 04 and the 06-07 are all MAP though.

 

[gray_scoob_punk]

I'm MAF based. The sensor will have to go in front of both TBs.

I won't have to worry about any silicon elbows collapsing on me with this setup either. Another thing, I'm pretty sure I can still use a turbo style BPV rather than a CBV with this setup.

have you already moves the power steering reservoir? Is it going/gone to the firewall? I'm wondering if moving it that far away from the pump will give you pickup issues.

I haven't moved it yet, but I don't think there will be any issues with the pickup. I plan on moving it back to the firewall on the passenger side. If you look under the hood you can see that you "most likely" wont have to extend the pickup hose only the return hose.

 

[Y_I_K_E_S]

OK, in case you're curious, I moved the reservoir to near the firewall via an aluminum bracket bolted to the strut tower. Works like a charm... well, now that I put the correct fluid in it...

Also, I'm using a mounting method very similar but not identical to Skidd's. I had to relocate the ABS pump 2.5" or so closer to the fender.

To make some more room for the FMIC piping, I relocated the battery to the trunk (optional) and installed a pep boys coolant reservoir (a must).

Now I'm just waiting on the pulley before I can keep going :letitout:

A heads up on this build. I ended up spinning a bearing and am currently in the process of rebuilding the motor. Got it all torn down and waiting for rod bearings to ship so I can start the rebuild.

You can follow the rest of the motor build in my journal. Once I finish the motor build I'll be back to the supercharger build.

The motor build consists of all forged internals and a CR of 9:1. Looking to max out the m62.

I'm still in the middle of my motor rebuild, but here are pictures of my supercharger parts. All I need now is an inlet and outlet connecting the supercharger.

I also need the 4 little screws that hold the magnetic clutch to the supercharger. Anyone know where I can get them at? I really don't wanna carry my supercharger around in lowes looking for something that might fit.

 

[Skidd]

By 4 little screws, do you mean the 4 that hold the magnet to the supercharger body?
because there is nothing special about them.. just 4 typical metric screws.
I don't have the specs in front of me though. Sorry. Plus, I doubt Lowes will have them... Unless the Lowes where you live is better, ours don't carry much in the way of Metric bits. Lucky for me, there is a fasteners shop close by. Perhaps there is a Fastenal store near your house.

P.S. Good looking brackers!! Your designer should be commended!! :lol:

 

[anothernord]

Lowes and HD never have any small hardware, ACE is your best bet there.

 

[gray_scoob_punk]

oh yeah btw the bracket design was created by this guy we all know from Canada and now lives in Texas...I think his name is Shane or Skidd or something like that. :lol:

We don't really have anything around here other than a lowes and a walmart lol.

 

[Skidd]

Canadian!! Don't Trust Him!!! All those Canucks know about is Beer, Hockey and Back-Bacon!! :lol:

on another note....I'll be driving a a supercharged built ej253 with forged CP pistons at a 9:1 CR. planning on pushing the supercharger to it efficiency limits. See what kind of numbers I can get.

The Setup:

I'll be controlling the supercharger with a 3 way toggle switch. The toggle switch will allow me turn the supercharger on, off, and part time meaning it will come on when at WOT. I'll be doing this by using vacuum to control a relay that will engage the clutch when at low vacuum (1inHg).

The thottlebody will remain in it's stock location and I'm hoping that by using this setup it will make it drivable during daily driving.

 

[gray_scoob_punk]

UPDATE: My rod bearings finally shipped. This means I'll be able to get blown much much sooner. :clap:

Keep track of the motor build at my journal. Once I finish that I'll update both the journal and here with the supercharger build.

very cool!

 

[Pudge]

hmmm supercharger.....interesting

Getting closer:

Current state of the motor + oil and waterpump and a few little things here and there:
