Just got the paperwork to be precise 12.756 as attached... Yea he was pretty adamant there was no way he was going to continue tuning until I got bigger injectors he did suggest changing pulley to lower the boost for when we do hit top rpm but thinking I'll see what it does maybe change it later...

oh yea that's an interesting way to look at it 1cc per rwhp I am thinking I will try the 550cc ones and that should be plenty and give me a bit of leeway if I ever try something else.. Looking at the graph it was at 5144rpm AFR rising 13-1 and if I understood it right the injectors where 120...

Yea I read that on these forums that the 315cc would be fine for that power but the guy doing the dyno said he was maxed out on the duty cycle might need to look at fuel pump and fuel lines, which I have just change to an intank fuel pump and larger fuel lines but maybe I missed something in the...

Dynoed today on a hub dyno only able to do one power run and had the pull of the throttle at 5000rpm due to lack of fuel, reaching 10psi at 289kw 536nm no water/meth, with the pulley set up looks like it will get up to 15psi At about 6200rpm with water/meth. Might be worth a try see how it...

All sorted made it to the wedding so now just to take some time and work out my options I put my intercooler back on and took it for a drive it is definitely restricting it so I've been looking into water/meth injection what's the go, seems a pretty simple system not cheap (not a hp bang for...

lucky I asked I was just going to put a bracket behind it and put it back together but then thought what will give way next, so on the intake I just loop both the fitting together then for the cam covers just run a hose from each cover to a catch can? Think legal might be a bit lower on the...

So I needed this running pretty much just for our wedding (next weekend) then back off the road it goes to fix these issues so I'll get back to them down the track. Took the intercooler out and put a straight pipe in its place and put it back together went for a drive went well until oil it...

Haha no garden hose running all alloy 2.7" same as charger output with only 4 rubber joins not a lot of piping really on the SC side to intercooler the pipe is only long enough to join to rubber joiners together (150mm) and after the intercooler about 600mm of pipe. Will do pics at some stage...

I ended up contacting CAPA Australia who I bought the unit off and showed them the dyno straight away he said belt slip (boost was a perfect straight line up till about 4000rpm then just dropped of rapidly). I questioned the intercooler problem and what I have is a plate and bar I need a tube...

So dyno'd the ute today, few issues.... first run was with intercooler and filter, Was round the 185-190kw runnin 1lb. Figured something wasn't right removed the filter Went about 190-195kw not much more boost. Put a vacuum line on the discharge of the charger and it read 5-6lb, 3rd run...

Bugger... Might have to cut more holes... Not liking that idea!! Also just took my clutch out to get a looking over, was that 11lb on a 1uz? How much torque did it make, just wanna give the clutch guys an idea of what I'm hoping for? Cheers

Hoping to tune it late January so I'll post dyno results

Cheers for that.... Mmmm I'm thinking the same it is similar dimensions what vortech sell and I don't won't to go cutting holes to make a bigger one fit, I might see how the dyno goes and see after that, from your experience am I wasting my time with that one? Are the foam ones any good?

All bolted up just finishing intercooler plumbing, while I had the cover off i looked at the fuel regulator, to be honest I don't know how these work exactly but looking at it I was thinking vacuum from the inlet manifold would control the regulator... Question is how does it work once FI, do I...

Thanks Gloverman/Kelvin You may remember my maroon ute, you actually finished the project of for me about three years ago, you put the extractors in and notched the rear and a few more things! I think i will fit the vortech and see how it goes I keep reading all over the net different...

Cheers Rod for the response I have spent a couple of days looking through lextreme for what engines everyone is using to get these big numbers without anyone mentioning the year of engine, I figured it was the earlier models that are pushing 10 - 17 PSI. I Kinda was looking for someone out...

.... Mmmm interesting, so if it pops/when I may aswell just, buy a pre 95 as I should have better luck with them? Right?

I Will be running an intercooler as well.

So a few years on and I haven't done any of the above, well until today... I have been out of the country for three years but I am returning to NZ with a new Vortech V3 supercharger with a 2.87 Pulley, the people I bought it off said I would be looking at getting about 10-12 PSI with that...

its a 1996, are the bigger rods in the pre 93?? is it really just the rods that dont hold up the extra pressure
