Don't need to go full serpentine. Just use a ribbed belt, tensioner and add a second pulley for the front of the v-belt crank pulley.

This.

Keep it simple and bolt on.

100% correct. I dont get all these questions from OP ... if you have really read my build like you say you did, you can clearly see how its done. I have full pictures of everything...lol... copy it that's all dont make it more complicated then it needs to be.;)

First start by building braket and tensioner setup and make sure all fits properly under the hood and that the belt is aligned...etc..that is THE most important things.

Do a diagram of how pipes are going to run, etc... concentrate on these for now you got work to do, the rest is details.

What fun is that! I am known not to take the easy road... :D

And with AC!! without AC it would be much simpler routing...

Well, specially seeing you didn't incorporate the S/C into the serpentine belt, that was totally unnecessary, not saying it isn't cool because it totally is, but I like the KISS rule.

Yeah I get made fun of from the local track rats because I have power steering and A/C, but cummon, I drive a BMW and like to feel like I do lol.

I found you don't have many options if you are running the PS and AC pulley you run out of room to add another pulley for the SC so I opted to bundle them up. And running a SC on a v-belt doesn't work well unless running a double v-belt.

I spoke with Byron who mentioned the idea of moving the alternator where the A/C goes and putting the SC where the alternator was if that helps ...

cant wait for the build thread....

I'm going to bump this now that I have one...
The car in the youtube video is stupidly noisy and burnouts are not a show of power, also I would be surprised if the bonnet still fits on the car.

On a side note, if you go centrifugal you may as well go turbo, it's more efficient and boost will kick in earlier. A proper supercharger should produce boost almost immediately and last until redline.

My (done by the PO) set-up is a whipple twin-screw bolted to a modified oe intake manifold. It produces almost no noise and I use about the same amount of fuel as a standard m30 powered 535 around town. Its running 10psi with Autronic SMC Sequential injection, its still in the tuning stage, but power is estimated at 300whp and the PO has a time slip for 13.50sec 1/4. It needs a lot of tidying but it's getting there.



The oil filter is an issue for me also but I'm in the process of changing to a remote-mount spin-on filter.

The intake work is done now and a remote oil filter is mounted behind the LHS headlights.



It's still a bit hard to see but the blower runs off a 6rib belt and has a tensioner just under the pulley.
