Re: finaly installing supercharger!

haha sorry, ill take some for ya. well heres the update. everything is running well, im takin out that air to fuel ratio gauge and buying a tranny temp gauge, and the car is much stronger than before. only problem now is that im only seeing 4lbs of boost when i should be getting 6. so here is a list of things to check: belt may be slipping, still have vacuum leaks (even though my car idles fine so i dont think this is it), or theres a leak in my discharge tubing. any other possibilities im missing?

Re: finaly installing supercharger!

check your tensioner and tighten that bad boy down. Your belt probably stretched.

dunno if its the belt, if it is anything like mine was you will hear the most terrible sound you have ever heard if the belt is slipping, there are no doubts lol

Re: finaly installing supercharger!

what kind of air intake is on your kit? pics I guess would be ideal to see what is going on

Re: finaly installing supercharger!

its very similar to your brother's setup. i can get some pictures for you today. i have flex tubing going from the lid to the S/C, and for the discharge piping i have a silicone coupler from the S/C to a metal pipe to a reducing elbow to the TB.

gotcha, I was just curious what kind of bends and such you have on it. Also what lid are you using?

Looks like the hose going into the super charger is kinked, just as it makes the last turn into the super charger. Might want to use a preformed elbow there too.

Re: finaly installing supercharger!

looking good. Does it ever get above 4psi even for a flash?

[99BlackW68]

Re: finaly installing supercharger!

im gettin 5psi now at WOT. i tightened the belt more, so i figure that was the problem. im gonna bear down on it more tomaro, but i wont be able to see if i can get 6psi until i get a tune, you guys have scared me into not flooring my car until then haha.
