That hose gets connected to a nipple at the air filter.

I have the EC 82mm throttle body. It does not fit the 82mm inlet like it should so I had to modify it a tad. I also have to lengthen the harness to the throttle valve so it will come back off in the morning to give me working room.

A couple of other minor tweaks and I will be happy with everything.

I have the MBH Headers, MBH mid pipe and the stock exhaust from the resonator back.

Bro please let us know all the results, without ice, with ice etc..

Gadget

I will not be running ice. For now anyway....

First thing I would do is run the intake to the front of the car for cooler air. Looking forward to your review gadget. Good luck and enjoy.

Got it, so is the crank pulley stock? And what about heat exchanger and split cooling? Did weistec give you an estimate of what it will put down?

It will feel like a monster since you haven't driven your car in 6 months, you will be very happy with the results.

so how many times have you spun the blower snout just to hear a quick wooosh!?! lol. i would have to waiting on a pulley and belt!

Gadget

You mean like the URD TCAI?

kustom2k1

Yep!

I did get the EC stage 3 kit that came with a new heat exchanger. I never installed it. Just felt seem it would not be better than the stock one and it had a cheap feel to it.

Once I got the stock pump replaced the supercharger stopped disengaging. When I was on the road course beating the snot out of it on a very hot day the supercharger did not ever disengage so it seems the stock HE was keeping up, well until the supercharger seized up.

I am running the stock cooling system configuration. Weistec did say they were going to send the the procedure to doing the split cooling system, but it is not in the box.

Btw G, what numbers did you put down with your car and mods and what weather?

mertd93

For now run it the way it is and in the next few months do the heat exchanger and split cooling so you can feel the difference afterwards, its gonna feel like night and day.

Gadget

No idea really.

I signed up for that dyno day EC did here in Beltsville MD. Jerry flew out and I was supposed to get my car custom dyno tuned by him. Did not work out well.

I rushed and got the EC Stage 3 installed with the I think 550cc injectors.

Jerry kept running into problems on the dyno. Kept getting cylinder 8 miss fires. So it got pulled off the dyno. Turned out to be a connector on the injectors that had a loose contact. Never finished tuning it there were cars lined up deep.

Went to the track the next morning for the event there and I was running my wideband on it and it was chugging richer than 9:1 AFR, but still ran a 12.1 1/4.

Never did get the tune squared away and never got back on the dyno. Then the supercharger seized up.

I can tell you wen it was running 11:1 AFR it was very ballsy, but needed a couple more degrees of timing, but was doing that random lean out thing that was a matter of great concern.

G- Considering the experience you've had thus far modding the car, you deserve this part to go well.

Since you're in the business off S/C kits, will be very interested to hear your opinion of the overall package.

Nice. Can you cover the water hoses running on top the the passenger side valve cover with some insulation material?

Worth the wait

Maybe I missed it Gadget, but did you go back to the stock crank pulley?
Good luck with the projects guys!

....jealous

Gadget

Yes, going to run the stock crank pulley.

I can't believe it's actually exist and happening to a member here!!

Please log AIT and boost.

Crap I hope, for your engine's sake, that the intercooler held all those bits a pieces from entering your cylinders.

Gadget

Do you think this will buff out?

It's not supposed to be used like a garbage disposal!

gaspam

yikes, any idea what got sucked up in there?

Gadget

I don't think anything got sucked into the rotors. The inlet is on the other end. Looks to me that one of the bearings failed and that allowed the rotors to collide and self destruct.

86,000 miles stock, no problem. Less than 1000 miles with the 180 pulley I get to buy a new supercharger.....

Couldn't imagine how hot that supercharger was on a 95 degree day on a road course with stock cooling and a 180mm pulley. Any sign on a oil leak? I've seen a few have leaks in the past.
