is that for real!!??!

hey man, if someone started, why didn't they finish...

 

leeit2me finished the setup and was boosting for a while...I think he broke the system back down to make some changes, but it was running. search the general forum, he made a post with completed pictures over the summer.

 

i thought something broke...i can't remember

 

could've I can't really remember exactly

 

Update...

VG SUPERCHARGE


I wonder if he has work out most of the issues?

 

naw, those are the old ones he posted over the summer when he was having the 2nd batch of problems. but yeah wonder what happen since then???

 

r u kidding me.. WHEN did this happen??? Ok got to find the write up on this. But seriously is it real???

 

 

Hey all. Well, you asked what happen to this project? It's still being fine tune. But as of late, I have it taken out of the car. I had to do my timing belt and water pump so since then I haven't put it back. After shredding couple of belts, I'm looking into machining out a new pulley. (I feel your pain 4th gen S/C owners, I too shred belts ) The major issue if the alignment of the belt, thats what causing the shredding. So either I have to reinforce the mounting plate or make a guide for the belt from moving around. Machining the new pulley will be my last mod to this supercharger project. I am moving on to TURBO CHARGING, it's much less hassle in mechanical moving parts..I think a turbo in any car is the best way to go.

So, you might ask how much psi it puts out? Last time I check it was boosting 3 to 3.5 psi when I am pushing it at 4000 to 4500 rpm. ****ty numbers, huh? You have to take in account that my design is direct drive, which means it's running straight on the AC belt and it's a T-3 compressor side. I don't have a gear or belt reduction, this is the flaw of my design. So the pulley was made small to able to turn faster. I do not have the skills or the time to design a reduction system. So, was it worth the headache to just get 3 psi out of this unit? **** YEAH!!!!!. If I didn't do this project someone will eventually do it. Then I would kick myself, "damn I thought about that idea, but I never got my lazy *** and have to ***** to do it". For any of you guys wanting to go into force induction, choose wisely...

 

whoa man, are you going to keep this SC system? If not, I would like to improve on your design a bit, I have an idea for the speed problem and I have the skills to do it shoot me a PM with your e-mail address, I want to discuss this seriously and if I can't get it I would like to pass my ideas on to you.
