Re: Supercharged 2GR SW20 Project - Supercharger & Plate Intercooler Setup
Hi Team,
I have not posted for a while, too many things going on in life hence no time to upload too many things.
A lot work has been going on in the background. Here is the supercharger setup on the plate intercooler which in turn has been bolted up to the lower intake manifold. Have included the cam covers as well as the 50mm spacer that will be placed between the throttle body and the supercharger and we will tap and install 2 x 2000cc Bosch injectors for the methanol system:

Re: Supercharged 2GR SW20 Project - Parts Cleaning & Polishing
Got stuck into cleaning a lot of the parts before the full engine assembly, especially the cam covers as there was a lot of burnt ol build up under the baffles.

Re: Supercharged 2GR SW20 Project - Cleaning Engine Parts
Cleaned up a few other parts that had a bit of gasket gunk stuck on it when we disassembled the engine:

Re: Supercharged 2GR SW20 Project - Seats & Door Cards
It has been a while since I posted any information on the progress on my build.
A lot has happened, and it is getting closer to getting the engine and gearbox into the engine.
I had my Honda Accord Euro Type-R Recaro seats retrimmed and the door cards done to match. Lawrence Auto Trimming in Tremaine Ave Palmerston North has done a great job. Ross removed the OEM covers off the seats and used that as a template to make new ones for me. We added a bit of color (apparently from the early 90s BMW material) and everything has come out really good, stoked with the outcome.
I just have to get the seatbelt guides sorted (the silicon coating had gone very sticky and were pulling away from the plastic). The plan here is to paint them black which I will sort out soon then back on the seats and we are done ready for the install.
Also, tried out the M+H rails. They are unfortunately too low as the seat sits on the floor, have to make an adapter plate to raise the seats a bit so that they clear the floor.
This is what the old seats looked like: The issue with the seatbelt guides: Removing the old seat cover: Heater pad install (back and bum): New covers made for install on seats: Recovered seats: Heater pad wiring: Door cards done (I had purchased the door card inserts from MR2 Heaven and that became the base template and Ross then used the backing off the MR2 Heaven insert with the new material & backing then installed it to the door card): Seats & Door Cards together: M+H Seat rails (has the seatbelt buckle mounting point so no need to make one up). Only problem is that these are too low, have to make an adapter plate to suit as the Recaros are sitting on the floor when in them to the rails):

Re: Supercharged 2GR SW20 Project
Thanks Jim. The shell is no longer a shell. It has taken a bit of time but it is now looking more like a car. I will upload a few more sets of images as I get time.

Re: Supercharged 2GR SW20 Project - Aeroflow & TurboSmart
Visited Rocket Industries in Sydney last November and picked up some Aeroflow items including a TurboSmart FPR. Pricing was pretty good and they had everything that I wanted to setup the w2a intercooler system for the supercharger as well as the methanol tank system for the additional fuel. Here is the catalogue & prices for the items:
The stash:
Fittings for the methanol fuel system and the water to air intercooler setup:
Picked up the TurboSmart Fuel Pressure Regulator for the methanol system:
Aeroflow 340lph E85 Compatible Fuel Pump for the methanol system:
Aeroflow weld on nozzles. These will be welded on the headers at each exhaust port so that we can monitor the exhaust temperature. The sensors will be bolted to each of these nozzles (running a sensor for each exhaust outlet):

Re: Supercharged 2GR SW20 Project
Just a heads up mate, they will not accept seatbelt mounts on the rail anymore unless they are oem
So for cert purposes, the seatbelt clip will have to be mounted to the floor or tunnel
