Hi!

Since I will be receiving a Supercharger at JAE, what do you all reckon, can I safely fit it or should I not take the risk of not making it back in time to the ferry on Sunday?

At least I'll have to come prepared:
- Tarp for under the car as we'd probably stand in grass
- hydraulic jack (2-ton, got it)
- 2 axle stands (got them)
- Set of socket wrenches (got it)
- tool box with spanners/screwdrivers,pliers,allen keys etc. (got it, well assorted)
- Battery powered drill (got it)
- some kind of tent/cover in case of rain
- beer for the LOC helping hands (got it!)

Anything else to think of?

Reliability should be okay I think, any possible problems were with the valve spring/cable, I'm sure there'll be someone who knows how it should be adjusted.

Any thoughts? Could be an interesting workshop.

Cheers,

i reckon with all the s/c experts that will be there, that there wouldn't be a better time to do it. And you will have a good journey to look forward to to try it out.

[Dave-Ellen]

Go for it.............if you start early before people start drinking !

I'll be be bringing it with me !

[Adie]

Go for it mate. There'll be enough people there who know how to fit them.

Also the heat shield needs modifying so you should be able to have mine.

Is this correct

[Colin P]

yea, I say do it!

could make a good tutorial, plenty of peeps around to take piccies

You will need the anti-tamper bit to get into the ECU box, also can you swap heat covers with ad77 as you need to cut hole in yours

[PhoneDrome]

Me things he will do nothing. Just leave the car with the LOCers and have a beer

[Dave-Ellen]

could bring a prolex-uk manifold along...............you'd fly home then !

[Matthew_McNally]

I am sure with the number of people with a s/c there - it would be possible to fit itin a day.


How much do you need to get under the car though?

No way would I be getting under a car that was being propped up on grass

Rip up a few council slabs and put them under the jack and axle stands, should be OK. Alternative plan B is take a pick and spade and dig a trench to lie in

Has the car been lowered, if it was Mr Singh's you would need a very deep trench

I was talking to Mat about this at the weekend Gerhard - I reckon we could all sort you out no problem!

Thanks guys, this sounds really encouraging and exciting!

Also the heat shield needs modifying so you should be able to have mine.

Mine is LHD, don't know if that makes a difference. But if needed can we do a swap?

I'll get an anti-tamper torx bit, thanks for the info

Ehhhmm... Solid German idea (sorry Andi )

Yes, 30mm (TTE Springs) I'll think of extra support under the jack and stands (strong wood panel). Not digging my own grave .

Sounds like a plan!
