Depends what inlet your using with the h series or if u want trumpets i`d say but have seen it myself on a few other threads but they`d be running a edelbrock inlet mani or skunk2 r other or trumpets usually, also depends if there making there own mounts from stock ones and have mounted them further back i.e needing a recess for the inlet mani but i`m all good there few tweeks to make to the chassis legs for clearance + altenater but thats all

Well nearly wasn`t going to finish this but after a long think and half a bottle of cop on snapped out of it and taught about making it better and had a idea so,
Big change of plans Coming soon wasn`t happy with some of the parts i was using as in mugen mani and arc super induction kit wont work with the new plans the smart ones of you`s will have worked it out by the parts that i`m not using but should be the only one over here in that chassis so will be interesting and very quick


Atm i`m smoothing the bay made the recess for alt and crank pulley , sold my ta tecnik coilovers and picked up some ohlin`s with ebach springs , dc-2 r rear strut, act 4 puk clutch, Now just the rest of the parts to complete my plan and i`m away :D

will update with pics soon enough

Never heard or read about a good h22 supercharger so going the other way 6-8 psi on small to mid size turbo nothing crazy space is mental tight to start and see what happens as after that serious engine work is needed to cope with more psi an rings and pistons rods so on would need upgradin for more boost ,

Will update as i go with collecting parts and finishing all the other bits

Should get the hubs the ohlins and the brakes into place tomoro and finish off the bay and few other bits finished off so can get it rolling soon with new plans it being rolling would really help
