Im a CAN-DO kinda guy - i just dont like the rush of a turbo - i get to play with some nice cars on a daily basis (I own a garage), so we have have Nissan 300ZX twin turbos, supras, skylines, ect all with turbo's and to be honest - although all the turbo'd car put out massive amounts of power - it just didnt feel right - now the supercharged jaguar - that was a whole different story - it was silky smooth all the way from idle - and what a lovely sound

Anyway back on topic - i have read percys post, but unfortuantly it didnt help much, as there is no way that I can afford to buy a Jackson Racing kit for my car, so im building from scratch. I have the blower - and im in the process of machining a new inlet manifold, ect. But what im really looking for here are some details about what needs done apart from actually making the charger fit on the car. Will i need differet plugs, ecu change, better grade of fuel ect.

I intend to have a fully working supercharged & nitroused up zetec for under �£300 - so im doing it old skool - i'll do the work myself to save paying labor, and if there are parts needed, then i'll make them (bits like brackets, pulleys ect). I am also quite handy at electronics so i can handle some engine mods, like the Nitrous controller, which i'll make myself.

What is the black box that is reffered to in percys thread - i assume this is some kind of piggy back fuel controller that is supplied by JR? Any idea what it does, and why its needed?

Here are some of the bits i have so far:

So if anyone knows the nitty gritty of making this work without any bells and whistles, then please let me know before i make a complete ass of myself - lol

Regards
