(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) The tensioner plate needed a bit of tweaking to get it sitting right so the belt didn’t want to run off the idle pulley but once I’d got that aligned right and was happy it would work I tidied it up a bit so it looks […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) I read that a hot side supercharger setup like I am building can suffer surge on overrun and that is remedied with the use of a bypass valve just as you will find on the original setup of these superchargers on the BMW Mini. It basically […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) With the SC on I found a nice place for the throttle body to fit and made a cardboard template of the kind of bend I’d want for the inlet. I didn’t have anything suitable so ordered a 90 degree bit of stainless pipe to […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) Firstly eyeing up where the supercharger is going to live. There’s not much option on it’s position. It either goes where it fits in the available space with the pulley lined up or it doesn’t go at all! Having figured that out. On to fixing […]

Unfortunately we had to postpone the trip and ended […]
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) Time for a proper clean before our driving hols around Cornwall good to go!
(First posted on MX5 nutz forum in February 2016) The evo was long overdue a full brake fluid change so I thought i’d do the mazda while i was at it. It’s one of those jobs that often gets overlooked so I expect it was over due too. What came out was pretty yuk Couple […]
