Reflecting on wild weekend (long)...
Wow... what a weekend. I don't feel altogether right now, so excuse the misspellings and grammar. If you want to read the summary, just look for bolded text throughout the post.
Friday
It all started on Friday when Cheston (Chebosto) and Billy (BL97) came over to my place to do a 3.25" pulley swap for Cheston's car. They got to my place before I got back from work, so they played Halo and Gotham Project Racing (Jane was back from school already). I got back at about 3:00 and we started working on Cheston's car about 10 minutes afterwards.
We wasted about 2 hours trying to get a bolt off. Seems like it was stripped from his previous install, so a 10mm didn't fit and a 9mm was too small. We went to Home Depot and Cheston "found" the correct sized wrench for the bolt. He bought some extra bolts to fix some other ones, and HD mispriced the parts and charged him $.03 for all of them (not including the wrench
).
We went back to my place and spent some more time working on the stubborn bolt, but finally it came off. Daniel (mingo) droppped by because he wanted to borrow an oil filter. He decided to stay and help out with the swap.
Up next was the reinstalling the SC. We took at least an hour trying to get the alternator aligned with the SC bracket. On top of that, I lost my screwdriver in Cheston's car!!!!! We searched all over but couldn't find it... oh well.
We got it all back on the car and went for a test drive. The highest boost we saw was about 9 psi, but the car did pull pretty hard. On our test drive, we decided to go to Burger King for dinner (Cheston's treat of course). I got a King sized Whopper meal and a BK Big Fish(for Jane).
We headed back to my place and ate there. I looked in the back and found out the bastard forgot to give me my Whopper!!! Oh well number 2. After finishing up, we decided to go to Tapioca Express to get some Pearl Milk Tea (or Boba Tea). We finishined and left.
On the freeway, I decided to gun in while Cheston was behind me. I checked out the rearview mirror and noticed a smoke-like substance coming from my car. Uh oh!!! Then, I looked at the gauge cluster and noticed that my oil pressure, battery, brake, seat belt, etc. lights were on. First thought in my mind was, "oh snap I snapped my belt." Second thought was, "what was that smoke coming form the car?" Third was, "turn off all electrical accessories so my battery won't die."
Cheston called me and told me that I sprayed fuel all over his car. Fuel? How can that be? The smoke was coming from the right side of the car, but the lines were on the left side of the car. We finally got back to my place. When we got out of the car, we noticed a long trail of fluid leading up to the driveway. Oh no....... I looked under the car and noticed oil coming from the oil cooler lines.
Crap... onwards to the second SC install/deinstall of the day. Daniel, Jane, and I started at about 10:30 PM and finished with the whole install plus cleanup at about 3:30 AM. There was so much oil on the car and floor. We drained the car and got back about 1/4 quart of oil. I'm lucky the engine didn't fail while driving back. Tip of the day: If you ever see your oil pressure light come on, pull over and stop because you will screw up the motor if you keep driving. The late night SC install will come back and haunt me during the dyno day (Sunday). Daniel forgot to take the oil filter. Thanks for your help mingooooooooooooo.
Saturday
On Saturday, we went back to San Francisco because Jane's parents wanted to eat lunch with us. I drove my car back to SF because Jane was getting her car retinted. After eating, they decided to cancel their plan with AT&T and Cingular cell service and decided to get Verizon. We decided to take two cars to Verizon because Jane and I were going to leave after getting the phones. On our way there, Jeff's (Jane's brother) Lexus IS300 breaks down (he has a Rod Millen intake, GReddy cat-back, Egoist body kit, A'pexi AFC, and Toyomoto headers [headers on order]). His screen name is ICE300 over on http://www.is300.net if anyone is interested.
Jane and her dad took my car back to Hayward because the tint shop closes at 5:00 and it was 4:00 already. Jeff and I waited about 2 hours for a flatbed tow truck to take us to the Lexus dealership. While the tow truck guy was getting his car on the flatbed, the kit was making crackling sound because the line was pushing his lower lip upwards. We inspected the kit and found no problems.
We got to the dealership and it was time to get the car off the flatbed. The guy backed his car off and went at least 15 mph and Jeff's muffler banged on the floor and his kit scrapped the last part of the tow truck and the floor. Idiot... Nothing was broken, but the underside of front was scraped.
We filled in the paperwork for a loaner car (RX300), but couldn't take it off the lot because we needed his dad's signature. We called Jane, but she was on her way to a Verizon store so they had to turn back. Jane was driving my car instead of hers (this will be significant later on)... don't know why. We waited about an 1.5 hours because they were stuck in stop and go traffic on the way back.
Sunday
Yay, dyno day. Can't wait to hit 300 whp. Jane was first to dyno. Since her last dyno, we added 2 step colder plugs and the Aquamist water injection kit. Jane put down 248 whp on 9 psi of boost, so there is a leak somewhere. On her last run, her car detonated at about 4000. The car also ran really rich, so we don't know why it detonated. Oh well number 3... we'll fix her problems and get her fuel tuned before the next dyno. The Aquamist improved many areas of her hp and torque. I'll have to analyze it some more (too tired to really compare yesterday).
Now it was my turn to dyno. Since my last dyno, we added an oil cooler, A'pexi AFC, and the Aquamist water injection kit. The water injection is my form of juice. Hehehehe I'm not running nitrous like what you all thought.
On the first run, the dyno guys told me I was running 6 psi. We all looked at the graph and it showed 246 whp. What? 6 psi? How did this happen? I hopped on the dyno and noticed that the belt was off the SC. I looked further with a light and noticed that the tensioner pulley was up against the body of the car.
We backed the car off the dyno and put it on a lift while others dynoed (Cheston). I pulled the pulley off and noticed it was fine. What happened? Where is the nut that holds the pulley? Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! It's on the floor under the dyno. I probably didn't tighten the tensioner pulley nut Friday night. Jane and I were driving that car on Saturday too!!! What a newbie mistake.....
We put the car back on the dyno and I got the best run of 286.1 whp (on 10 psi, so there's leak somewhere), but the air/fuel was so rich the curve ran off the graph. Cheston suggested zeroing out the AFC, so I did that. Nothing really changed, so I went back and leaned out the fuel (more that what I had before). There was a noticeable change in the A/F, so that's good news, but the graph still went off the graph (under 10:1) at about 4500 rpm if I recall correctly.
On our way back after the meet, I noticed that my car bogged REALLY bad when I accelerated. I didn't think nothing of it because I didn't get a chance to mash the car much. So on my way to work this morning, I tried accelerating hard. The car would bog, pick up, bog, pick up, bog, etc. I decided to pull over on the freeway to see what's happening.
First thought was.... oh no, "not this again," but my warning lights didn't turn on. Weird... I popped the hood and took a look. The belt was fine and still intact (engine running). Looked around the bay... nothing really noticeable.... walked to the supercharger side and noticed it was louder than usual. The car suddenly sounded like it was bogging down again, so I looked at the CAI piping on the SC and noticed that the CAI piping was off the SC. Whoever put the CAI piping back on the SC didn't tighten the hose clamps!!!!!!!
I put it back and tightened the clamp and everything was fine again.
So... all in all this was a wild weekend. I'm not sure what I would've gotten if the car was running 100% like last time (besides being rich like last time) I'm definitely going to dyno and tune the car very soon (scheduled an appointment already). So take it as you will...... "286 whp isn't bad with car not running right," or "You're not going to get 300 whp (SAE corrected) even with the car running right." Only time will tell...

Guess what? I have that page bookmarked, but I wanted to play it safe so we bought the ERL system.
My curves were more jagged than my previous dyno. They actually looked lower when I did a quick comparison.
I forgot to make this clear... my SC belt snapped Friday night.

Remember at about redline I had approximately 80 whp over her (200 whp)? Well, she has about 230-235 now. 30 whp gain up top is nice isn't it?
Thanks KYJ.

Just make sure the water is not hard water. You can use 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol (boosts octane), but it the cooling efficiency isn't as good as 100% water.
ERL and 2 step colder plugs (not gapped yet).

OH dear.... MAn i specifically remember Jane tightened all the hose clamps.. u even asked "did you tighten these already(pointing at hose clamps)" and Jane and i said "yeah" and you said "thank youuOOouu." and i'm sure they were on snug.. Man i feel responsible for all that happened.. it was my bright idea to say "hey kev let's take your car, cuz i haven't been in it since u got the tomei, afc and aquamist mods" to tapioca express. Man maybe my bad luck is rubbing off on u.
good thing the pulley wasn't melted.. usually when a bolt gets loose the pulley wobbles and it stresses the bearings causing it to heat up and melt. today was a semi bad day at matthel's too.. we still couldnt' get someones mod to work.. but it was exciting tho, re-fitting some bolts n stuff, thot we had to rip it out again. i did get to do my oil change, but the magnetic drain plug i was so happy about didn't fit, it was too big.. so i just used a filter i picked up at nissan and dumped in my stenchy oil. I shot the catalytic converter with matthels infrared temp gauge and it seems to be fine.. the front of the cat was reading at 3?? degrees farenheit, and the outlet was reading 4?? farenheit. so i'm not sure if my cat is doing fine or not..
neways.... kev.. tell me when u gonna go dyno again.. i'ma see what things i can get sorted out before it.. if all works well and if i get to see a lil green in my world, then i'de like to dyno too...
i hope all things work out good for ur car n stuff...

Ah...the on-going hate/love relationship with the SC. It is good that I no longer have headaches over SC problems(boost leak, egt skyrocketing, dumb cai filter falling off, etc.)
However, I do miss the boost. Oh well, guess I have to settle with what I got now until I could get myself a turbo Supra.

chalk one up for the memories,, what a weekend, but at least you still have your car, and it's working... one of my Honda friends just blew a couple of pistons in a nos set up, so we need to count our blessings.

Jane97SE's dyno
003 was done on 12/27/2001 - 235.9 hp 237.2 torque
007 was done on 02/24/2002 - 246.7 hp 238.9 torque
I forgot she ran 241 hp on 12/27/2001. Doh!
We couldn't grab her highest run of 248 hp because it cut out on some areas. She peaked at 10 psi and detonated on the last run. The fuel is still on the rich side, so an air flow controller will be needed to tune it.

Y2KevSE's dyno
004 was done on 12/24/2001 - 284.1 hp 234.9 torque
007 was done on 02/24/2002 - 286.1 hp 232.6 torque
The blue lines (more recent dyno) are clearly way under the red lines (previous dyno). The air/fuel ratio clearly goes way off the graph, so the car needs serious tuning. The intake with MAF not being attached to the SC made a difference.

http://www.kcsaab.com/ ask for Brad and tell him "the guy with the two Maximas that bought some kits from you 3 weeks ago" sent you. He'll recommend different jet sizes if you tell him your power (I'm using a 1.0mm orifice, with 0.9mm and .08mm as backup if I want to go smaller).
$450 regular price... but he gave 10% off when I bought two.
