I really want to touch up the polish job on the alternator and throttle body, my polisher didnt have any small tools and I could use my dremel, just not sure if the casting is fine enough to do it without sanding

 

parts look awesome brah good luck with your build,

where did u get the s/c from?

 

I've been doing my spare throttle body as well - hard to get into some of the nooks and crannies for sure but i did manage a better finish than they did by the look .

Judging by the look of the parts this is going to look super cool installed . great stuff ! .

 

should have blasted it with a very fine or non abrasive media first to brighten everything then polish what you can

 

Yeah, I just took it to a local polisher, thinking about sending it to a pro

 

Looking good. While you got all the parts out you may as well replace the existing seals with Viton seals as they will last longer as well as polish out all the tooling marks for a better seal. If you are using gear oil then you should be ok.

Get a longer coupler for the first connection pipe after the blower as you will find the pipe may not marry up all that well. The longer coupler will give you room to secure the pipes together without boost leak. I only noticed this boost leak when i removed the battery tray.

I regret not going with upgraded injectors as it now involves removing the supercharger to get to the injectors as the standard pulley now puts out 12psi now that all the boost leaks have been resolved. The power is now in the 300 HP range.

I am looking to change my fuel pump to Aeromotive 11142 for safety as mine is almost 10 yrs old.

 

thanks! I got a 4 inch coulper, I hope that does the job

 

just for edumacation sake:

1. that first pic, mounting bracket?
2. the polished piece with the rotor and the logo, is that anything in particular?

 

1. yes kinda. It's easy to see on Hymee and skc's install
2. Intake plenum

 

Running into an issue, looking in Hymee's instructions it appears that he runs the oil filter to cooler oil line to the left (drivers side in US) oil cooler. But in my car that oil line runs to the passenger side and mounts differently. Here is the page I am talking about. Curious to hear from our friends from down under whats up.

 

Where did you get yours from?

 

I suggest you contact Danny as he installed my kit.

 

Unfortunately, I did not get to replace the seals within the compressor. The only Viton seals I used was for the dog bone.

You should be able to source replacement seal from your local bearing shop. take your original seals for measurement

 

Nice build I have one of these kits sitting in my garage. Hopefully someone will make Hoss-05 happy and buy it.

 

OK, so to make things easier I am just going to buy RB oil line kit and add the Hymee extension to it. Spent all today cutting the lines out with a pocket knife since the fittings were so rusted in the wheel well. Also took out the air pump to make room for both Sohn Adapter Tank, and Oil Catch Can.

Also any ideas on what weight gear oil to use in the blower?

 

nothing?

 

I would call the blower manufacturer and see what lubricant they recommend. The RB oil line kit is okay but you could make a line setup very similar for much cheaper.

 

It is the same blower as the Pettit kit so you should be able to use the same oil. Hopefully, OD might be able to help you out

 

I priced it out and I may be able to save about $100 if i use the high quality Earl's hose. But I am going to the National Training Center for a month tomorrow and to be honest I want it just here waiting for me, worth $100 IMO. Also I am 99% positive I would screw up the lengths if left to my owe devices, at lease RB would guarantee fitment.

I sent an e-mail to Hymee and Sprintex regarding the oil. We will see what turns up in the inbox.

 

Ordered my RB oil line kit, as well as extensions that should cover eveything, pics on wednesday.

Got on a stainless steel kick as far as fasteners, and am a little concerned about their lack of tensile and load strength compared to Hymees 12.9 grade galvanized. I have been assured by my mechanic it will not be a problem except for rotational clamping loads (inside the blower, pulley/idler bolts.) But just to be sure I ordered ARP high strength stainless bolts for the large M8 bolts that withstand the weight and vibrations of the blower.

My general view is that the 800,000 Kpa that would shear a stainless bolt would be more likely to bend the aluminum plate first, but I am no physicist (or mechanic).

Just seeing if any of you have any opinions on that matter.

 

Just got my injectors back from cleaning,

Before (Flow@ 43.5psi):
Used S1 Blues
1 612cc
2 624cc
3 624cc
4 600cc
New S2 Green
5 492cc
6 492cc

After (Flow@ 43.5psi):
Used S1 Blues
1 612cc
2 612cc
3 612cc
4 612cc
New S2 Green
5 492cc
6 492cc

 

I really can't see how they did that........

 

did what? the high numbers or the consistency?
