Ben any updates on this?

You made me buy a M15 for nothing! *shakes fist* bahah jk.. I should just through it on Ebay, sure somebody out there would want it

Anyway curious how this is coming along

Just read this thread for first time for all my reasearch and now I'm interested hows it coming along Ben?

dont know how ben is going with this but it loks a viable option only problem is the cost of superchargers and then the cost of getting it perfectly aligned. I did look into it ut i think it would be a lot more expensive than going turbo. Unless you got a crash hot deal on a super charger and could install it yourself. It would also be way easier if the engine wasnt in the car too

Ahh wow, this project sure took awhile
wonder hows it going?

Yeah, I put it on hold. First reason was while the stats of the blower were suitable, the casing of it wasn't. I couldn't find a snout extension suitable because it was a Mercedes specific chassis Eaton M45. What I needed was a generic M45. That way I could purchase a snout extension off the shelf. And as Simon mentions, most blowers retails for about 3 grand off the shelf... I was lucky to pickup my one for $300. I scoured Ebay for months after, looking for a plain M45, but one never came up.

The other stall was finding out what the car was like to drive after the extra 40 odd kws of Nitrous. For me to have any hope of traction with this ontop of all of that, I need to get the drive train sorted first - specifically the diff.

Yeah thought may have been the case as like you previously said was having trouble finding a snout and traction definatly big issue
