Miniram with procharger fitment problems

The rubber boot connecting the the elblow to the throttle body interferes with the upper radiaitor hose and they touch when both installed. The other fitment problem i have found is the driver side fender where the supercharger meets it. I don't even have enough room to put the 90 degree elbow on the intercooler side to the supercharger. The procharger is right up against the fender well. Any suggestions or advice to remedy this situation?

Have you tried "reclocking" the compressor housing by loosing the little allen head screws and turning the housing this should provide you with the room needed to install the 90 degree hose.

As for the connection to the throttle body, i would look for a different style upper thermostat neck.

I took care of the problem with the fender, i just used a BFH. I tried rotating it but can't without drilling some larger holes in the supercharger and tapping it for the larger hex bolts. I also might need to spaced my supercharger out a little because it doesn't look like my belt will go on quite right, so it needs to be shimmed. Heres a pic of my progress so far.

that is the exact kind of sanitary look I am going for on my 91

I am going extreme by using an elect W.pump, no P.S., a pass mid mount Alt bracket, no AC or smog at all, non power brakes with a brake booster eliminator, and a non-AC heater box. once I have replaced the PS pump and stock driverside accessory bracket with a "block" I will work on ducting the inlet of the blower straight down through the "void" made by removing that stuff. I love that all business look in a street/race car. I helps for servicing adjusting, working on the beast as well. yours looks awsome. Is that a D-1sc?

Looks good Alex, personally i only use the BFH as a last resort, but sometimes thats the only way...

I think that you will have enough fun with the D1sc, and really won't need to swap up to a F1 the difference is minimal compared to the expense. but if your maxing out the D1 and want more power than i can see making that decision will be alittle easier.

Well The F1 is out of the question now that i got a price quote on it. Its like $2600, and the sheet metal intercooler is $950, ouch. Those are two things i can do without since my current car payments on my other car is already killing me.
