Beautiful
Not yet. Now its just an intake manifold with a very large hole in it. When there is a plate welded to it with some holes, then perhaps.Beautiful
That would be ideal but room is tight back thereI would like to suggest that the compressor's intake manifold be built "deeper" so as to be able to provide a better transition between the round TB "intake" opening and the oval "discharge" side of the manifold.
I could see that being an issue if someone tried to tie all the vacuum taps into one. Especially if the tap didn't have enough area to support all their needs.The single largest error I have witnessed in a "home made" supercharger system was not allowing for sufficient vacuum taps. It is not only the HVAC that requires the good partial pressure signal...
Have you seen these?
Haven't used them myself but may soon on another project. Price seems right.
A standard throttle body spacer would be a good place to put taps as well.. I think I might have one laying around someplace too.
That might be the route I will go.. or just make a taller adapter as I prefer my design better, flows with the adapter plate better. But the tb spacer is 1" might be an issue cutting that on the router.Actually... I did this for a friend so he could add another vacuum tap. Works great.
That is really large and i'm not sure a) if its necessary, and B) how it seals. The adapter plate shown below has a 70mm hole. 85mm is 15mm larger, that .59" larger.You just have to love an 85mm TB though, don't you?
If I was doing that I would already have a SC on and have a huge hole in my hood. However, I have a certain way of doing things.So many folk will just toss in anything and call it "good". Shade tree mechanics at best.
$290 is not necessarily a terrible price, but it's definitely an expense you could do without. It's not like you can't make a decent adapter yourself or find another solution.That Magnuson adapter show earlier might be out of the question. Magnuson responded to me with a price of $289+ shipping. Not happening at that price.
You'd have allot more friends and dedicated followers on cherokee forum (and some here) if you hacked the heck out of your Jeep though. Plus don't forget about the bragging rights having your sh** out there before anyone else.If I was doing that I would already have a SC on and have a huge hole in my hood.

Since they don't make throttle body spacers in 70mm, I'll need ot make my own part.. might even be a better solution. Hopefully under $100.or find another solution.
