So one of my good friends and I are putting a vortech centrifugal supercharger on his 2001 NB. After a long ass day, here's how far we've gotten.
Here's the front of the bay mostly empty.

Here's the first test fit. Didn't work so well, you'll see why later.

So the space between the idler pulley and the tensioner was too thick. Which was weird considering this was made for an NB.

So to fix the problem, pulled out the grinder and got to it. Shaved a fraction of a mm off but it fit perfect.

Fits wonderful!

Tensioner #2 and belt installed

New huge ass radiator fitted and piped

Here's where we stopped for the night.

Still waiting on the rx8 440cc injectors to come in. He needs to order some piping as what we have is shit. I need to wire the fuel card for him and get the MAF back up and running. After that, all we need is to tap the oil sump, as far as I'm aware.
This is his build, I'm just sharing it because I'm his right hand on it, so if I miss anything, I apologize. Hopefully the injectors come tomorrow and we can have the car started by Sunday night! C&c next weekend were hoping to dyno 190
