I'm just now getting around to installing my fsp from eurocharged. The instructions say to install the provided resistor at the supercharger plug. Where is this located? Anybody have a picture of one installed? Also are resistors directional? Instructions weren't to clear. Thanks

Thanks a ton Ill do it when I get home.

Got everything installed. Now just waiting on tune from eurocharged.

Got the tune installed but it is raining so if I go wot it just spins. But so far the car seems to drive alot smoother especially when you first take off from a stop. Mine used have a weird lag from a stop that is now gone. Also monitored my iat before and after the pulley. At cruising they used to stay around 20-23 degrees hotter than ambient. Now it seems to stay around 28-30 degrees. I have a ftp split cooling tank going in probably tomorrow so I'll see what that does.

What are you using for monitoring ait?

trab8989

I use the bluetooth adapter that connects to the android torque app. Dunno how accurate it is. But seems to work really well.

Any more drive time this weekend? Hoping all is going well, I wish I could get a hold of a stock size FSP, hopefully this month.

I did get to drive for a little over a hour . First thing I noticed was how much smother the car feels at low speed driving. Like say if I was driving throught a parking lot my car used to be a little jerky, that's gone now. Next thing is the supercharger is a little loud at idle, kinda has a bad sound like say lifters ticking, give a hair of gas and the noise is gone. Car also has that whine when revving in the park now, so that's awsome. Performace gains are a very good. Car pins me in the seat way harder if I can get it to hook. I haven't been able to get it to hook from anywhere under somewhere around 20mph. Im gonna let some air out of the rears and see if that helps. Im really happy with it so far.

What size pulley did you go with?

trab8989

77mm

2000UZJ

That's the size I am thinking about doing. Please post up a video or you driving. I am interested to hear it.

trab8989

Ill try and put one up today or tommorow. Maybe do a idle vid and then a driving one, im interested to see if the supercharger is loud outside the car, its still fairly quite inside.

I removed the hood insulation and the plastic cover that went under the hood vents near the windshield. My SC is very audible with stock pulleys. It sounds killer too. It also vents a HUGE amount of heat out of the engine bay, sitting at the stoplight the air infront of the windshield has heat waves.

trab8989

Yea i did that to

When it rains, water will get into the engine bay so be careful

trab8989

You drive the mercedes in the rain? Shame on you

2000UZJ

My car has sat outside in rain storms that totaled 5+" multiple times with washes. So far so good. What can get damaged below? No different than hosing down the engine (which I don't do, but many do)

Hulk

I had to change the tb because of the water

2000UZJ

That is reason enough to make a cover for that. Thanks for the heads up. I assume the water and the electrical connector don't mix?

Hulk

Nope lol

Any update on the driving vid?

trab8989

Gonna try tommorow, got the day off, car is all waxed up, new belt wrap kit installed. Wifes coming, so i should be able to get a video.

menace2sobriety

All running smooth yeah? Any issues
