well, i got it all together today. install time was 6 hours. Im using a V2 kit. Install went very smooth. Hardest part was putting the alternator bolt in honestly. I have no belt clearance issues, everything lines up pretty good actually, no washers or spacers needed. The idler pulley is really close, but it seems to be fine. The captive bolts have me slightly worried tho. At first, the pulley was quite a bit aways from them, close but still enough space. Now after a few test drives, it seems something has shifted slightly, and the pulley is rubbing the bolts. I think its already grinded them down enough so maybe itll be ok, im just wondering what happened to my space that i had?

im not tuned yet. im running the 3.6 pulley, stock fuel. But so far the stock tune is actually not bad, its runs under 12s, until about after 6k when it reaches 7-8 psi it leans out to a little over 13, so ill tune tomorrow. and ironically enough, after all my NA days trying to get the thing to run at 14.7-15 while cruising and idling, it finally does that now on its own lol. It feels awesome tho. And this is only 7psi?? im quite scared of the 13 psi pulley i have!

few questions/comments/observations, this thing is LOUD. Im talking, i think im glad i didnt get a V1 afterall. i was thinking i can keep this sc on the hush around school, but thats not possible. i thought maybe something was wrong, but i looked up some videos on youtube, and it seems as loud as those so i guess im ok. I dont have a filter on the sc yet, so i need to figure that out asap. I need to figure out what to do with the ps lines now that its probably too damn late, lol. I have a little ps leak from the reservoir so i gotta do something there. and one last thing, i have a Blitz DD Bov, i cant quite get it to vent at idle. I did get it to vent at one point, and it worked for a bit, but it seems sporadic. sometimes itll vent sometimes it wont. all im doing is turning the screw on the top right?

But all in all, im excited as heck. it feels great to me. thanks to all who have helped me, huge thanks to potatohead/wizard for the writeup, thanks to my boys here who stood by and helped.

 

congrats! i bet it feels like a whole new car.. planning on any track times and/or dyno numbers after all the issues are fixed? in for videos

 

oh heck yeah, funny thing is, today was our track day! but everyone backed out yesterday, so i decided to install this today. but yeah, within the next few weeks hopefully. i think imma run a new PB lol.

Congrats man!

 

nice congrats man

 

Steven this is awesome! Let me know what track day you pick... My car is down for a while but if you want to pay my admission I'll ride to the track with you and record all your runs.

 

Congrats, your car looks good, looking forward to pics.

 

When you adjust the Blitz, you loosen the nut and back the threaded post out. Tighten the nut at your prefered placement to hold the threaded posts in place. Also, check your vac source, it could be playing a part in your issue as well.
Are you running the the OEM ecu? If so, be carefull, fuel may be somehwhat ok but timing will be an issue.
Also, how many miles are on your blower? Just curious as to why its so loud, or maybe its not really that loud but just loud to you since its not a sound your used to.

 

talk to Mad_Max SE here in Raliegh he just installed his S/C like 3 weeks ago or something.

 

i can pull the threaded post all the way out and it still wont vent. its weird cuz it did for a little while yesterday. can the spring be too stiff? dont know if ur familiar with the dek manifold, but my vacuum source is off the nipple on top of the throttle body.

i am running the stock ecu. ill look into what i need to do with timing when i tune.

and supposedly the blower was rebuilt by the guy who sold it to me. and ur right, maybe it isnt louder than normal, but just to me. everyone so far has said it sounds like a normal supercharger.

 

Congrats man! Sounds fun. Makes me want to go boost lol.

 

Sounds like the vac source is fine, however your BOV may be toast. Someone may have tightned it down to much at one time and ruined it.

 

through some searching i found that a few have had this issue with the blitz, ewuzh had the idea of getting a softer spring from somewhere and he said it worked fine. so i went to ace hardware and found a spring today, i put it in and it vents at idle now. and it seems to be working fine. it still builds max boost so im assuming no boost leak. so hopefully that takes care of that one.

next, i understand the rules for adjusting timing on an N/A vehicle, basically not too much unless youre on a dyno to actually see whats happening. is there a rule of thumb here now that im SC as far as retarding goes? should i just retard a few degrees across the board? or at a certain rpm? etc, help on this would be awesome.

 

I would pull timing based on boost, so you won't be pulling too much lowend/midrange. Maybe 1 degree per lb, something along those lines. You'd be pulling 7-8 degrees up top on your current boost, which would probably put you in the high teens/low 20s up top. I'll bet that's pretty safe, but you really need knock detection.

 

how much did that thing cost?

 

Congrats.. Now get that thing to the track and run your PB..... Better not be in the 15's...

 

Nah he's totally going to break his 14.7@97 curse. He should be quicker than me at this point

 

congrats and iam in for pics

 

ill atleast break my pb and 100 mph, im not sure about ur times tho. i have a whole 1.5 seconds to go!!

 

i predict 13.7 at 104 with a 2.2 60'

 

way to go Steven. oh John btw i own a 95 5spd now. no more neon lls

 

Good deal, the blitz is a realible BOV and glad your up and running.
Enjoy

 

Noooooo!!!! The loss of your neon will be hard to bear... If you don't 3.5 swap the 95 and beat both James and Steven, I'll have lost faith in you all together.

 

glad you got everything up and running. You should talk your guys into coming to Raleigh for the I/S/O meet here in about 2 weeks (may 1st) check the link in Crusher's sig.

 

how u know my plans already . keep faith alive my friend in due time i'm joining the crowd of fast max's. Planning on starting in Aug/Sept on the build.

 

I would assume low 13's..


And Sparks I assume you mean beating you all motor?

 

Yeah all motor.

I hope Steven gets slicks. GET SLICKS STEVEN!

Also, get a cutout. You could do a manual one for $60-90 dollars. With the S/C and your 2.5" piping, you would probably gain 20+ whp out of a cutout right after the Y-pipe and wideband bung.

Or at least unbolt your Y-pipe at the track (ghetto cutout).

 

dangit john, everything youre suggesting totally goes against my racing morals. im a firm believer in street trim. and im perfectly content in knowing that i could easily run a better time if i just unbolted an exhaust or put different wheels on. now maybe if i came to a standstill and was getting desperate for a better time, who knows. for now maybe ill get better street tires, and if i get crazy an electric cutout. but im working on getting this 13 psi pulley on first.

 

I just don't want to see you going 13.5@112 with your 13 lb pulley because you can't hook. It will be frustrating.

If not an electric cutout, save up $600-700 and go to RJ's in Raleigh and get a 3" with a 22" magnaflow resonator and 20"+ muffler setup. Should sound great and make good power without needing a cutout open. I didn't know you wanted that flowmaster for your S/C setup, the chambered designs rob some power.

How wide can you go with street tires? A 245/45/17 would probably hook well (I think you have 17s at least). My 245/40/18s have gotten me pretty consistent 2.0s when I can go around the water box. You will still have big traction problems in 1st/second, though.

 

yeah, that would be frustrating. but yeah, i figured the chambered design would hurt me, so i already got rid of it lol. i gave it to joe. im sure my dynomax isnt helping much either. but the fronts are 17x7.5. the rears are 17x8. so i could probably run the 245/45s.

keep an eye out on some 370s or 440s for me. thats the thing holding me back from the 2.87 pulley for now.

u need to roll down on the 1st, i dont care what happens im making my car be down there, so we can get some pics done, THE NC 4th gens.

 

i need top feed dont i?

and ill see what i can do about requesting that day off. i keep trying to meet people, but things just come up.

 

Oh I didn't notice you have a de-k. But yea you need top feed injectors

 

Throw up a pic of the beast.

 

imma try to get some pics and videos up soon. tonight imma try to tune it.

im on the lookout for some injectors...what kind of injectors will work? like from what other vehicles? or do i just look for top feed? how about impedance? high or low? or does it matter?

 

well, it is with deep regret that i post this picture, my first of the blower.

i was tuning tonight, and everything went well. when i got back home, i popped the hood to check everything over, and there was oil EVERWHERE! i mean, theres oil from the timing cover on over to the passenger fender everywhere. Theres oil on my trunk lid!! is that a seal behind the pulley, the teal colored thing? could it be the source of the oil explosion? its the only thing i found that was different. everything else seemed ok. i spent the last 3 hours pulling everything apart and for now im back to NA. what the heck is going on here?

 

fuxxxxx dude. the night i hit my 1st 130mph run your s/c breaks. speechless right now going to be pissed when i sober up

 

Check the drain back pipe. If oil leaks from there it could well end up on the belt and be sprayed everywhere

 

So you did check your drain/feed lines before removing everything, right? If one of those came loose it could have easily caused all that without being a hard fix.

Otherwise, you can get rebuild kits for pretty cheap, or maybe even buy the specific seal that failed.

I would have definitely topped off the oil then started the car to try and find the leak before taking everything off, though!!!
