Due to some requests that I have received lately, here is the update on our powerdyne build.
Alright, in an effort to save money in our powerdyne build for my brother's car we decided to make our own kit. The car that will be receiving the kit is a 1999 firebird. Here is a pic of the car:
This car is practically bone stock other than a flo-pro muffler and shaved lid along with smooth bellows and removed MAF screen.
A new SS rear end with 3.42 gears and LSD is waiting to go in and exhaust will be ordered in the near future as we get closer to wrapping up the supercharger.
As for the supercharger kit:
We had the tensioner bracket and spacers made by a friend who was/is going to college for engineering make them in the school shops.
The big supercharger bracket is being made by a local cnc shop. We had to order some aluminum from an online website because it was cheaper than through the shop. Here are both the AutoCAD file and a DXF file. For the AutoCAD file you can get a plasma cutter, for it is in the PIECE/HOLE configuration required. The DXF file is for importation into CAM software to create toolpaths for CNC machines. Best bet is to put them both on a floppy and take them to wherever you find that can do it:
For the intake we are using an MTI clear lid made for a v8 fbody. This has the outlet in the center of the lid and not offset to the side. Should be plenty of clearance now for the tubing. For the intake tubing we are using the powerdyne flex tubing. Discharge tubing is going to be mandrel bent pipe from our exhaust shop.
We have a 6psi pulley and a 9psi pulley for when we are positive all the kinks are out of the system. A 6:1 FMU is providing the fuel at the moment and when it is time for 9psi then gtp injectors will be added to the car and walbro fuel pump.
Bosch blow off valve is part of our kit to help keep the powerdyne working efficiently and will be routed back into the clear lid. JohnD powerwrap is the belt routing that will be used.
So yea that is where we are at for right now. Stay tuned here as we will be getting the big bracket cnc'd out here in the next week or so once we receive the aluminum piece for it. Then we will be installing it as that bracket is the only thing we are waiting for.
