Enjoyed this video. David Vizard was my bedtime reading as a youngster. Remember profiling the needle and ramping the internals of the SU....

BCA was the needle supplied with the 1985 Turbotechnics metro intercooler kit for running 14 psi, that should cover it , great vid!

You need to have a shroud on your mig torch. If you are using a no gas set up then that's your problem with bad welds

Cole some of the problems with your welding is your using flux core wire and you didn’t clean all the oil off the part. You want to clean it with acidtone and let it dry before you weld it.

Supercharger never ram right and I don’t drag cars. That said I have power and torque figures from the NA engine that I will compre this one with.

What’s your first impression on how it feels compared with your old supercharger?

To be totally frank its night and day. The turbo is far and above faster based on my butt dyno. The torque hits dramatically differently and it feels like there is more room for additional power with more boost.

Did you see any problems with your chosen brand of AFR gauge? Reviews are all over the place...

@classicminidiy

Жыл бұрын

Hey Jon, I have never had any issues with the X-series AEM gauge but I think the reason reviews are all over the place, is that the O2 sensors are SUPER fragile. Specifically in their wiring. So it's very easy to mess up the sensor during installation or install it improperly. That said, getting a new sensor is as simple as buying a replacement and plugging it in.

Cole, what was the issue with the pcv?

@classicminidiy

2 жыл бұрын

From what I can tell it was just sucking too much and with the fuel pump hole breathing location, it was just GULPING oil. Now that I have the rocker separating the oil and I only get ventilation from the timing cover and transfer case, I am going to try hooking it back up and seeing what happens.
