Bout to purchase Powerdyne (Grayman need help)

[Domestic_>_all]

Alright after quite some time of saving up some cash and long months of research. Ive read Graymans site a few times, now let me make sure I got everything correct. I printed out the MCAANDA instructions, as well as Graymans edits. Ive got TR6 plugs gapped at .35, extra TB gasket, all of the tools. which method should I use to block the PCV bypass? Can I connect an aftermarket lid to the blower unit? Is there ANYTHING else I should know about? Thank you and all help is greatly appreciated :)

Re: Bout to purchase Powerdyne (Grayman need help)

i just plugged the back of the TB PCV inlet and added a threaded breather to the oil filler neck. you can do either of the methods. up to you. the breather/rear plug has been working fine for me at about 12,000 miles with the powerdyne.

as for lid it depends on the year of the vehicle. 2000 plus cars is a sure thing. some of the older cars might pose a problem. if you have the 'airbox' style or air intake you should be fine.

suggest installing all the supporting mods such as gages, fmu, plugs, john_d wrap (file the oil filter neck) spark plugs, etc. ahead of time. save the actual blower install for when all those things are done. makes things go real good on final install day. you also want to make sure all that stuff works before you blow up an engine. think of it as converting to forced induction rather than just adding the powerdyne.

if you have a manual transmission start saving money. your new Horse power might blow up the M5.

good luck with everything.


damn i hate that we don't have free sigs anymore. i don't have any idea what kind of car this guy has. are you sure this is how you want this board to be?

If you haven't purchased the powerdyne yet, I'll have a nice kit for sale in a couple of weeks. I've also had the TB plugged with a valve cover breather for about 20k miles and no problems. And yes, with a 98+ car you can integrate that aftermarket lid with no problems.

Grayman, thanks for your website and all of the help and info youve posted on this forum. When I searched you it was like an information haven, anyways I already have a triple t top pillar with Boost, AF ratio, and fuel pressure gauges, got the plus. But doesnt the Powerdyne it self come with a FMU?


NC, thanks I may get it if you sell it in a reasonable amount of time ;D

Oh and I have an A4 so no M5 nightmares for me

What year car DO you have Domestic? Greyman is right about this website kinda stinkin without signatures. I'm aiming for 2 weeks to have a kit ready to ship, so I'll keep you in mind. Had you been looking at purchasing the kit new from RKSport?

[grayman]

Re: Bout to purchase Powerdyne (Grayman need help)

yes, the kit comes with an fmu. (vortech 6/1...fine for 6 psi or less)
what i ment is that you can hook up the fmu ahead of time even if the blower is not on the car.

Re: Bout to purchase Powerdyne (Grayman need help)

ohhh, I have a 2000 NC, why did it take you so long to get the belt tightened down? I was originally planning on getting the RKsport kit brand new, but if you sell it within a reasonable amount of time I may get it. Also this is another question I forgot to ask about, I have the TSP tune in my car it was NA so obviously they retarded the timing, which is bad for a FI set up. What should I do? Send it to TSP and drive the car with the new settings to the shop? Or just take the pcm out of the car at the shop?

Re: Bout to purchase Powerdyne (Grayman need help)

The kit I have is designed for 93-97, as most of the powerdynes are... but I'm helping a guy install one on a 2000 right now. I'll let you know the simplest way to adapt it to a straight throttle body, and yes, I will probably be selling within a couple of weeks.
