I did not feel like messing w/3 inch piping. Re-used the same 2.5 SCer pipe but wanted to reclock the blower.


Remove the blower from its bracket and loosen the 5-6 allen bolts highlighted in blue to reclock the blower.



then cut the stock SCer pipe right before the bend as such



grab the little piece with the bend and cut the bend off as such

 

then go to NAPA and buy a piece of 2.5 heater hose and two clamps.

 

the 90 degree angle won't affect anything?

 

reclocking it? no, All you are doing is clocking the outer casing upward to eliminate one bend. Much more beneficial then straight which is a pain to work with. Bent upward is much better to work and will flow much better

 

Heres another idea...Re-Clock it the other way and fab a charge pipe accross the front end of the car, and then use Place Racing Pipes to Finish it off...Stephan said that it brings down charge temps quite a bit

 

thats an outstanding idea he did. I would upgrade to a t trim and a 2.87 or 2.62 and add an intercooler to cool the charge. The t trim will flow enough CFM so the loss will be minimal.

 

me likey jaime, i already clocked mine a little, but i guess i will be doing it more like your way when I upgrade to my 2.87.

 

I just got done installing the blower, MEVI, 370s, FMU, FPR, Walbro, test pipe and ECU. I am beat. I still have to wire up the MEVI and gauges. Almost there!!! I am starting out with a 2.87 this time !!!

 

which 90 degree bend did you use?

give me a call sometime, its been a while.

 

Why not start with the 2.67 pulley?

 

I have not installed the CAI yet. Have to still do that. What 90 are you talking about?

 

the 90 from the outlet. mine seems to have some wierd cutout and yours is a full 90 degree that has the same inner diameter for the whole elbow.

 

ooh yeah my bad, sorry about that!!! thats the connector for a 5th gen kit.

 

JAY25 mod being the anti-BOV....not the piping

Gimme a call Jaydog........you missed a HUGE SELOC meet today dude.

 

Freaking blower is broken, I am hitting 10PSI with a 2.87 pulley!!!!! yup let me talk to my good man to see if we can come to an agreement. I am suppose to see what 13PSI?

Raced some one from finish line performance and a chick on a Subaru waxed both of them. Even with a broken blower I am out and about again. I am back!!!!!!!

 

I assume you checked the belt tension and the pipes for leaks. I am sure you did but just want to make sure you check everything before you start getting pi$$ed

 

I did all that. I did a V1 install about 3-4 weeks ago. I am hitting 10PSI with 7200 RPM rev limiter and a 2.87 pulley. I did all that already. There is no vacuum leaks. This is the same boat Ians was in when he got his blower. HE was puzzled where did the rest of his boost went. This blower needs a rebuild pretty bad.

 

guess its time for a t-trim rebuild.

 

T trim rebuild or a T trim trade in? wonder if anyone knows the details to that. From what blu tells me its a $800 upgrade.

 

Do it, do it

 

your a complete boost freak aint you?

 

I just like the sound of crickets under my hood

Well i figure when you move here we can be t-trim buddies. I want to get one later this year after we do my 5 speed swap. These honda boys are going to be in some massive trouble

 

see the problem is once they find out you have spanked a bunch of
their buddies they are not going to want any! But we can be
T-trim twins

 

By the way - as a note:

I found that the SC was the problem with my missing boost by spraying water/soap mixture straight on the blower housing and revving the engine......made pretty bubbles!

I kept the V1 Bracket and upgraded to a polished V2 to fix it.

 

would an exhaust restriction limit the boost?

Or maybe you really need to have a 3 inch charge pipe?

 

I'm hitting 13PSI on the stock charge pipe and on 2.5" exhaust before I upgraded to 3"

So that's probably not it.

 

Did you feel a big power difference once you switched to a 3" exhaust on the Butt Dyno ?? in your mind, is it worth it ? Im tryin to decide if its worth it

-matt

 

3 inch is good if your boosting 10PSI plus. It helps your top end alot. Helps the car breath better. Dont use a test pipe on a 3 inch exhaust. I did that and boy did I lose a bunch of low end torque.

 

say partner what type of boost are you seeing w/your 3.125 pulley on your little V1 blower? you got a pic of under your hood?

 

V2 Blower, V1 Plate...very long story how I recieved the V2..

Im seeing about 11-12 psi with the 3" charge pipe...13 on a cold night

Next: 3" exhaust w/Test pipe ??, Innovative WBO2, Greddy Emanage Ultimate





-matt

 

Why use a butt dyno when I have real Dyno proof?



Remember, I'm leaning out up top because JWT sucks and I can't get the Z32 MAF working properly - but up until that point it is accurate. (About 6500RPM I lean out)

 

nice, top end keeps on going. What size pulley was this with? and you were using 370cc? I have a 3 y pipe but since the blower is shot I am going to have to wait to come back up. Kind of hard to go from 338 tq to 260-270 right now. Thats alot of torque loss.

 

Ian,

You using a test pipe with your 3" setup ??

-matt

 

matty - gutted 3" Cat.

Jay25 - 2.87" Pulley, 370cc Injectors, A32 MAF. The tq #'s you got off your setup before were just ridiculous....I've never been able to get over 285 - that can't ALL be just because I'm leaning out some up top......

 

Will I lose alot of low end with a 3" test pipe ?


-matt

 

I installed a 3 inch test pipe and believe me from a dead stop I felt like a brick sitting still. On top end is outstanding. With the SCer you already lose torque since the blower is belt driven. But lets see Ians opinion since he gutted his Cat.

 

Thats why you use the cuttout i told you about wanksta . No bottom end loss and you get more powa .

 

I dont like that..I feel like its Cheating

-matt

 

Cheating is better than getting violated like a little girlie man

 

Can you run a test-pipe/gutted cat without pulling a code? I don't think my o2 is bad, it might be, but I think its pulling my KS code also. This is the second KS I've put in, and it still pulls the code. Im getting 0304 and a "O2 Sensor Circuit Malfuncition, Bank 1"- I know my cat is bad, its a warpspeed high-flow, so its trashed by now. Would you guys get a new o2 or try ANOTHER knock sensor? (Sorry to thread mooch, didn't mean to)

If you can, I'll order a test-pipe.
