idk if its the video or the fact that its not tuned but sounds nothing like my buddys pettit s/c

skc

The supercharger sound is being drowned by the rattling pulley that I forgot to tighten. I will do a new video when I start up next time

Congrats! Good luck with the tuning, watch out for high AFRs while under boost.

Second video without the rattle.

I will have to check for leaks as it sounds a bit loud still

much better when its whining like a 2yo

I have been battling to find leaks for the last few days. Did the pressure test and make some improvement.

However, I found a large leak in the dogbone that attaches to the top of the intake. The dogbone has two rubber seals and my solution was to apply sealant around the gaps.


After it hardens I will test again by spraying some contact cleaner to see if the seal has been fixed.


Then I will connect the mazdaedit to check the STFT. The previous logs was +25 indicating a major leak!!!!

skc

So I pulled the supercharger apart and resealed with high temp silicon. I also found that the two M8 bolts that secures the base was missing so I purchased some and secured it properly.

I have reassembled to supercharger and installed the majority of the parts. Tomorrow I will add oil and start it up.


For now I will stay with the gear oil

Been running the car for a few weeks and covered around 2000km. Its running with a base tune and I am supposed to be off boost if possible.

Still sorting out vacuum leaks. I will do a pressure test to detect any further leaks and then get tuned for boost

skc

Waiting for the new K&N intake to arrive this week so I can ditch the stock plastic MAF housing. The housing is getting distorted with the clamp and causing tuning issues.

skc

Had a bad leak from the front seal on the supercharger. Back to stock configuration while I sort it out.

Also went to the dealership to get the recalls done.

skc

Car is off the road for a few weeks as someone cut in front of me on the highway. I have damage to the front fender and bumper.

Also saving money to reinstall the supercharger.

i give you credit i could not bother with that kit lol. my petit is so much simpler.

skc

The plan is to wait until the end of the year as I am now using my car for daily use. I will look to attempt to install over the christmas holidays

skc

Got the car back from the panel beater with fresh paint and new mazdaspeed bumper.

I will get the parts required to assemble the supercharger and may get it fitted and tuned

skc

Supercharger back in. Running well so far

skc

Plenum machinery to add a rubber seal and added more bolts

Congrats on getting the charger reinstalled and running!

How's it idle? How much boost is she making?

skc

Still in the process of getting the data to send to Brett for tuning. I have a 8psi pulley however I cannot go into boost until I have a tune for boost

jcbrx8

Roger that. All the best thru the tuning phase.

jcbrx8

Skc, How's tuning progressing?

skc

I went to three month holiday and fixed the rattle in the pulley. After my brake got a new pulley and and pin to hold the pulley. I am still using the 8psi however I will upgrade to 10psi soon.
