Nope, you'll see it here first when I'm done. I intend to post everything I do here.
Are you sure you saw me today? It couldn't have been looking that good as the car is absolutely filthy!

***
Had a little time today. Mounted the pulleys onto the bracket and the bracket onto the S/C, attached the oil feed and return lines. It was a bit confusing to sort out all the various nuts, bolts, spacers and washers. The ribbed idler pulley came assembled with a bolt, spacer and washer that wasn't used, at least not in this application. Anyway, had to figure out how much and what part of this:


was needed to get to this:



The actual putting together didn't take very long at all.
Next up: VTEC solenoid extension, oil feed adaptor on the engine, mounting the S/C on the engine (hopefully next week).

Dave,

I must say, everything looks very impressive. I saw this thread pop up when I was in the UK, but it wasn't until today that I read everything about the work in progress. It looks great. That is a mighty fine blower. Just wait;....6 months with the supplied pulley, and you'll want a smaller one. Just mark my words
Anyhow, I can't wait to see it once it is completed.
Take care
Asif

Looking good x-viper

I think I like your way better than my way (my way being doing it all in one weekend and loosing my camera in the process ). You will be up and running in no time

P.S. The fuel pump isn't as hard as everyone says it is

Hey x-viper.......I noticed that you have your oil return line going in the opposite direction than I have mine (yours come out of the oil pan and goes towards the drivers side, mine comes out and goes to the passenger side). Mine has hardly any clearence between it and the crank pully, but it doesn't hit it (I constantly check). I don't know why but I didn't even think to do it your way.....Is there going to be enough room to run the return line from the supercharger to the pan that way?? I think I may change mine if yours works. I wonder what everyone else does..... hmmmm.......
