A shot of my new motor. It's a nissan ka24e sohc 2.4L motor with an eaton m62 supercharger from an nissan xterra.
Should get me to the top of the hill a little faster.
1, it's wood cause i'd rather make it out of wood, get it right, then copy that over to a piece of alu. plate. Alu is expensive, wood is not.
2. superchargers DON'T get very hot. Turbochargers do. This is due to the fact that turbos are run off the exhaust, where are superchargers are run off of a belt.
