In the spring of 2006 I took the car on a Eurotour where I
drove from Denmark down to Italy and then back up to Nurburgring.
You can read all about that trip here, lots of pics: Eurotrip
At the Nurburgring the car broke down and as you can read in
the Eurotrip thread the drive shaft was replaced, also the
gearbox and finally the diff.... OUCH!!!!
But that meant also that now the car was really ready for what
was coming up..... twin superchargers :)
I took the car to Alutech in Sweden where the following mods
were done:
- Rebuilt motor with steel sleeves and forged pistons
- 10.5:1 compression
- Twin Rotrex C30-74 superchargers
- Seperate oil system for the SC's, Setrab oil coolers
- Bosch Motorsport injectors and fuel pump
- Front mount intercooler
- Remapped ECU to deal with the above
Here are some pics from the install and from when I picked up
the car.
My old cracked block :(
New intake trumpets
Run in oil being filtered - came out clean :)
Here are the 2 coolers for the superchargers and the intercooler in the front air dam:
Here you can see the plumbing along with the 2 blowers (and yes there is a cover that goes under the whole thing):
Good sized SC�s:
There is one of the air intakes:
Very neat looking install:
