Car Throttle's intrepid team is back at it with their ambitious project to supercharge their Porsche 924. In this episode, they tackle the installation of the valve cover, intake, gaskets, and injectors. With their hands covered in grease, they also manage to fix the pesky bonnet release and mount the necessary brackets. But as with any project, challenges arise, and this time it's the alternator bracket and belts that give them a hard time. However, their determination prevails, and they eventually conquer these obstacles.
With their sleeves rolled up, the team moves on to the task of sealing the intake onto the supercharger. It's here that they showcase their creativity, as they compare the process to cake decorating. And let's not forget about the fan solution they come up with, mounting a slimline fan within the original shroud. It's these little touches that make their project stand out.
But the road to supercharging bliss is not without its bumps. The team encounters issues with rusty holes and threadless mounting points, which require some extra effort to resolve. Nevertheless, they soldier on, and with each step, their excitement grows. Finally, the moment arrives to fit the supercharger itself, and it's a sight to behold. The team revels in their accomplishment, proud of the transformation they've achieved.
Yet, as with any project of this magnitude, setbacks are inevitable. The car refuses to start, leaving the team scratching their heads. But they don't give up easily. With Kyle's expertise, they diagnose the issue as a wiring problem. Undeterred, they continue their pursuit of supercharged glory, knowing that the reward will be worth the effort.
