stef's 205 gti6 supercharged

[Stef205]

So the new charger turned up today and like a child i couldnt wait to get it unwrapped and out the box.
First thing i noticed was its size and its weight!, i may have to re think my mounting plan.
Away like a child i rushed out to the car whipped the bonnet up and sat it on top the m45 to get a eye.


As you can see its "slightly" bigger but it will go in once ive finished.
I then moved on to taking a good look over it, i already knew about some case damage which i will address, It does look like some chav has tried fitting it to his nova at somepoint and cut the casing away with his teeth! Anyway ill stick it on the mill and mill the remaining of the damaged mounting away and have a friend weld a new piece of tube in.
The picture below shows the damage.


This picture gives a idea of its size!


The inlet side looks alot more usable with regards to fixing with 2 m8 threads either side, so i should be able to make a reasonable fixing.

Am i the only one that thinks it looks like a pair of eyes and a mouth?
The rotors apear to be in good condition which is a relief.


I then moved on to start breaking it down as i will be rebuilding it as i dont know its history, Ive a list of bearing and seal numbers so i will get those ordered shortly.
Removed the oil filler plug to check for any oil, couldnt see any which may have been removed for transportation, carried on and removed the snout to find a genuine eaton coupler and some signs of oil.

All seems to be good, the coupler will be replaced for a modified version.
Tomorrow ill remove the rotors from the casing and give them a look over.

Iam sorry for anyone who hasnt been able to contain them self, please dont feel bad Niall lost his ability to control him self talking about it!

All for now
Stef
