Here is another setup of someone’s J series turbo. This is common stuff guys! Someone needs to begin developing these!

Perhaps I will once I build mine.

Drove to Seattle to a TL meet and test the car’s reliability. Bested a Model 3 up a steep hill. He was a car ahead and jumped, so I chased and won, even with 350 extra pounds in the car besides me.

I got an updated baseline from Aaron O’Neil to be able to drive the car to English Racing. But just like when I originally installed this fuel system into the Type-S along with the Rotrex. I was unable to get the car running due to not being clever enough to get the AFR to hold enough back pressure to allow fuel to be pushed through the injectors.
It just keeps flowing into the return line when the engine turns over.

Just like last time, Aaron will work his magic and get it working quickly.

I still have to refill the heat exchanger with distilled water and  plug the water pipes into the intercooler core.

Because of the spacer needed to clear the larger rails, the supercharger sits 1” taller than before. I was worried that the hood may not clear the original cuts, but it fit just right!

Imagine the manifold not being ported last weekend. That means that there are only three holes for all the air to go through. This may now even be building correct PSI or even getting air to all the cylinders. For low RPMs this is fine. But for sure the M90 issue happened because of a last of flow.

Even with the current opening of the manifold. I still can’t sell a product so horribly underdeveloped!

This manifold and adaptor plate need further porting and development!

I want to show this pic again just to drive the point home.

Look at how little space there currently is for air travel! I will have two notches made on the right side, and havent he left part of the plate be opened up as much as possible to alleviate the choking of air.

Cooling plate bolts in! Look at the spot in the area where the majority of the boost comes from. Why would there be soot? Perhaps not enough air going to all cylinders? So some of them pushed back?

Got the adaptor plate bolts torqued the a mighty 8.7ft/lbs.

After what this car has been through with this S/C, I can’t safely say that these bolt with bolt recesses is more than enough to hold the S/C down.
What’s most important to notice is how the adaptor plates current design stifles the already difficult breathing space if the manifold.

One of the bolts was too long so to make it fit I used a spacer and a washer. Since there isn’t any heavy airflow here it seemed fine to do.

I also removed the two bolts and pipe in the EGR area to reduce weight since I now have the EGR delete.

Whatchu fellas think?

To install the intake mani I used the bolts for the supercharger. These bolts I purchased from Ace hardware to fit the M90 to the custom adaptor plate.

I used a caliper to measure these bolts and a dremel/pneumatic tool to shave the bolts down to size.

When I was reinstalling the intake manifold, I realized the IM made contact with the P2R fuel rails. I then remembered that to get it to fit I had to use a P2R or MDX intake manifold spacer. 

This meant that I couldn’t use the stock bolts/nuts to install the intake manifold. It also meant I needed to buy another custom belt from Vatozone that had 1” more length. Fit like a glove after spending $36.99.

Ported and smoothed our the inside of the M90 intake manifold to reduce turbulance. This will definitely be better than before.

Not bad! Just have to be careful not to port under the resting position of the round gold TB plate.
