Small update
I've ordered the liquid/air core for the charge cooler from Bell Intercoolers (Corky Bell and Gerhard Schruf are legends) so that should be on it's way to my engineer soon. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out as i'm expecting him to make a few changes to my design for the better but as well as this having a practical use i'm hoping it will look good too based on the other work that he's done, function is the main purpose though.
Rough design for the charge cooler/integrated plenum:
The purpose of this design is to provide enough charge cooling in a small package, keep the path short between the supercharger and the intake manifold to keep boost pressure up and lessen or completely remove the effects of lift off stall which is often present in this kind of setup with the supercharger after the throttle body with a long run to a front mount intercooler. Previous testing with my homemade plenum (no fmic) proved this setup does work.
As for enough cooling - well i've gone with a proper liquid/air core, it's a quality one and as large as I can fit, I will do some temp tests afterwards to see what pre/post temps are, we're aiming for low-ish boost anyway so it shouldn't be too bad.
Next
After the charge cooler we have the pulley bracket to make which should be much simpler in comparison and then the supercharger intake to throttle body - a little bit more complicated but we've already been working on the plans and solution for this.
