Yes,
The calipers came off a U13 ARX bluebird.
Are you going to trigger the blower off a throttle switch? Otherwise, at say 1/8th throttle, the blower will be pumping full boost against the throttle body.

Thanks for that info on the calipers.

Yes will trigger off tps, revs or a combination or different inputs. I can take a couple of different directions with the megasquirt but the plan right now is to use the magnetic clutch on the SC.

Just a quick update.

Test fitted the custom sump before welding up (wanted to make sure crank didn't interfere with bottom of pan). Will need to modify oil pickup for new sump arrangement which was necessary because of crossmember.

Also picked this up as oil filters I tried were very close to hitting the cross member, and I wanted a sandwich plate so I can get some 1/8npt fittings. This came up for a reasonable price... Oil filter may end up relocated to front guard as the engine bay is getting a little cramped.

Just got these. $55 from trademe. Hope they fit ok. If not will cut them up as I need to add a water sensor adapter and maybe a 32mm >> 25mm anyway.
