The Supercharger is a Procharger D1SC. It has a self contained oiling system, 34 PSI MAX, and a conservative 1000HP rating. It is driven off of the crank by a 12 rib serpentine belt system with self tensioning idler pulley.
There was not a kit for a V8 in a Porsche so it took some fabrication to make this work. The ideal location was where the belt driven water pump was designed to go. Seeing that I had already converted to electric water pump, this location was free to use.
I ordered the D1SC with the universal Chevy SB mounting kit which included a aluminum bracket, idler pulley, oil, air filter, carb hat, some hoses and a 12 rib belt.
I tried to fit the mounting bracket but the rear factory tie down point was in the way. Before I cut ANYTHING I emailed some photos of the proposed trimming to my Porsche buddy in Germany and he gave me the ok and said that what I wanted to remove was not structural and did not compromise the integrity of the body.
After I mounted the bracket and supercharger to the aluminum engine mounting plate I took some photos and sent them to Procharger Tech Department for an OK on my install. Well the tech said the the supercharger was installed at an incorrect angle for the self contained oiling system to work correctly.
The supercharger attaches to the mounting plate with an arc shaped arrangement of bolts. By unbolting the supercharger from the mount and then rotating it 30 degrees counterclockwise and then re-bolting it to the mount I was able to get it in the correct position for the oiling to work.
Once again I sent photos to ProCharger Tech and this time they gave me the go ahead to fill it with oil and start it up.
But the 12 rib belt that came with the universal kit was 64" long and what I needed for my custom install was a 56" 12 rib belt, so I ordered one and it came the next day.
With the supercharger mounted it was time to install the intercooler and the pluming. This system does not require an intercooler but I wanted the ability to run low octane gas and the added margin of safety ( no ping ) in full timing.
The intercooler is to big to lift with the tail and there is no room to mount it flat on top of the engine so it had to be mounted on the back side of the GT2 tail.
The GT2 tail now splits along its axis when you open the engine bay leaving part of the tail and the intercooler in place and only the top of the tail lifts up to provide access to the engine. If you want to get full access to the engine all you have to do is pull the t-bolt clamps on the intercooler ducting and the two hood pins that hold on that lower part of the tail and the whole assembly lifts off - think of a clam shell tail.
