Jezebel Engine Rebuild... Part 2

[Crash_Nemesis]

LOL. whats that Moranor. ANything right now will work for me. HA HA!!

Stig, I bought the supercharger through Burgy at Project Shift, its a VF engineering M3 Street Stage 1 kit called the VF 420.

But I will be buying the Stage 3 intake manifold and installing a Meth kit aswell as upgrading software. So essentially becoming the VF570 kit

Burg got me a special deal - It was R55 000 for the kit, including shipping and customs, but without software and injectors.

let me weigh up the options... I still have the 5 speed wood (Que comments here) I think the AA one will look better if I do something with the finish...

I will think about it and get back you you with a price

So, Jezebel just crossed over 700km thus far. Driving awesome. Was coming off the highway yesterday at about 110kph and wanted to see how well this car handles a corner, a good sharp turnoff...

WOW. She just grips and pulls in. Its really something to feel guys. These Bilstein PSS10's are crazy!!!! I mean, I have never experienced a car that has NO BODY ROLL AT ALL and instead, just pulls in the direction you are aiming. Its really exhilarating and the confidence you get, you know you can actually just keep accelerating through the corner.

So. Just got back from dropping Jezebel off with Lee at Gtech.

Leonard is also having a chat with him about the error codes we pulled from the car 2 weeks ago. He's gonna have a look and fix her up this week.

If its a dead TPS sensor, no one tell Burgy that I am taking his TPS sensor out of his M3 thats just sitting there... hehehehehe.

*shhhhhhh*

So today has been an exciting day. Steve from Project Shift has been doing massive research on taking my supercharger kit I got for my old e46 323i and making sure it will work for Jezebel.

Good news is. It will.

When I bought the supercharger, I always knew I was going to buy an M3 soon and wanted to upgrade the charger into the M3. Hence why I bought the V3 charger and not the recommended V2 for my 323i.

Just so everyone is clear, the V3 charger is meant for the M3.

We were worried that the bracket that came with my kit for the 323i would not fit, but discovered today, that the bracket will indeed fit perfectly. This has saved me a considerable amount of money as these brackets are not cheap.

So, thank you Burgy for doing all the research and constant communication with VF Engineering.

The supercharger build looks like its going to be happening rather soon.

See the images below to see that charger with the bracket on.

do you use uprated injectors for the supercharger? or does jezzie have it in already? what boost are you aiming for?

Cant wait to see the videos once the tyre shredder is in action!:thumbs:
