I wonder if I can think of any other constructive project you could be working on.

Looking good Adam!!

Just played catchup on this and it was worth it. It's inspirational, and thank you for posted preferred products/methods.

Amazing work, this thing just keeps getting better and better.

I lack the patience to hand-CAD anything this complex. Hats off to you for that, it's impressive

Looks well planned out. What do you scan with? What's your workflow between scan and finished product?

No scan. Just one squinted eye and a fat thumb. 🤨👍🏼

Just calipers, concepts of ME design philosophy and some scrap. I own a small CNC router and a Bambu 3D printer. So, I start with measurements, cut some MDF, or print some PLA, see why I'm an idiot, change the design and try again.

I think some version of the intake will. Just added a “frame rail” to my mock up bench. Going to add a “master cylinder” later.

That’s awesome!! Think it’ll work with brake booster in place?

I was going to ask what this thing was, but now it makes sense! Keep up the good work even though people don't comment. I always check in here to see when an update is posted. People like you give me hope that I'll get back to my project cars one day.

This thing is gonna be a riot with a supercharger! You sir are mad, but in the good way.

Since no one is ever in here, I can keep this quiet. You know, in case I give up on it. 😂

Working on installing a Gen 5 M90 onto the N52. Prototyping things with the 3D printer and will eventually have things 3D printed in aluminum. Might be a year out before anything is really installed. Using an aluminum plate sandwiched under the intake for locating the supercharger. Relocating the alternator where the power steering pump would be. Likely using an air/water intercooler. Fun problem solving is really what it is.
