Working on getting these installed. Gotta make some gaskets then I can install the charger. There are some things on the charger that need attention. Gotta make sure I do everything right which costs money. It is coming along though, unfortunately at a snail pace but as somebody here said, "progress is progress."
As you can see I am taking my time, and probably too much. Luckily I have heat in the garage now so I can work a bit more in this sub zero crap that is going on over here. At least now with all this time and money in these cars I have insured that they will never leave this family
I don't use gaskets anywhere in my supercharger/manifold/s-tube setup. Too many opportunities for leaks. For the last 4-5 years, I've been using HondaBond, or Loc-Tite Permatex Ultra Grey. It does a much better job of sealing imperfections in the mating surfaces, has a certain degree of flexibility, and is much easier to clean off when the time comes to re-seal it, as opposed to a dried on crusty paper gasket.
Yeah I was definately considering that. After taking it apart there were only a couple of spots that had gaskets on it. They were small areas of the charger but I can get the liquid gasket stuff all day it is the paper crap I can't get. I guess liquid it is.
This is for you doitdub!!! Guess what??? Yeah that is right yet another set of wheels!! I just figured out that if I stopped buying wheels I would have money for the wagon I have 3 sets up for sale now so hopefully I can put some money back into the wagon
17x8.5 and 17x9.5 offset 17 (now only if my wagon was 5x114) HEY THATDOODLE HOOK ME UP 8)
You must have the last D to ZC adapter in the world... been looking for one of those for a while so I could run a Y8 mani!
Sorry to invade the thread, but I know of a guy over here that has one of these still.
It's on the CRX-UK (google it) forum. It was part of a edelbrock for sale post.
OMG!!! you are a whore!and i mean that in a good way.haha.i just checked out yor thread and im super jealous soo your in the service what branch?i used to be in the USCG semper paratus!
Working on it just very slowly. I have the supercharger put back together just trying to get this damn AE86 finished so I can get it out of the garage and get the wagon in there. After the lift was installed the garage has essentially become a one project car garage. I raise one up and park my daily underneath
so uhhhh yeah. actually went through this entire thread and all i can say is wow. very nice sir. well done well done. nice to see a project like this. well built and taken slowly. have to keep checkin in on this one. very nice car sir.

I like the speckled black look, I think it'll look great once it's in - esp since the car is red. ...imo.
Thanks for the info.
