NICE BIKES! I have a 1999 Honda Shadow Ace 750. I'm loving that chopper and the GSX-R!

got my supercharger kit last week and started the tear-down. within a couple days i had everything removed and the supercharger base plate attached.


Note: i forgot to purge the fuel system, so it took me a while to soak up all the gas that leaked out of my fuel rail. to purge the fuel system, pull the fuel pump fuse and start the car. let it run til it stalls. then open the gas cap to release the pressure in the tank.


here are some pics of the last couple days' activities


Supercharger kit


Intake removed


new spark plugs and wires installed


throttle body removed


plenem (sp?) removed


wire channel moved out of the way


intake runners and fuel rail removed


supercharger base plate installed

You only need to unscrew the gas cap to relieve the pressure on the fuel system.

bit of an update.



the blower and idler pulley are on, and the belt is run. i had to move some brackets and gently heat and indent the right side distributor cover to make cleaance for the belt.



things are on hold right now, as it is really cold (-20 to -30 celcius)

Any progress with this project? Interested in to see how the bullet supercharger kit works. Is it worth the money and so on.
Thanks!
