    Love the sound of the supercharger
  • pdcpdc Band Wagon
    I love the sound of the supercharger. The low RPM torque is amazing.

    How much boost are you running. I'm running 10 in mine.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I'm running the 10# pulley. What I'm seeing on the gauge for those short pulls is 8or 9. Dyno tune is next weekend.
  • pdcpdc Band Wagon
    Actually I see the same on mine....about 9. I think you and I are running the same motor setup.

    working on the water injection setup from Jaker

    stop solenoid installed to prevent siphoning. This is the way he had it, I think. I would like to spray before the throttle plate, but don't have a place to put the nozzle yet.

    Of course, on this holiday weekend, it's not ALL work...

    OMG, YOUR NOT GON TO MOUNT THAT ON THE PILLER, OMG! ABSOLUT WURST PLACE! sept fer any other place, lol!
  • What are the status LED's for? If i had to guess, i would say one indicates a spike in boost and the other would indicate a loss of boost?
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    im gunna say water/meth engage and one for over boost...
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Green is water/meth status. Comes on when system engages, and increases in intensity (brightness?) as flow increases. Also flashes codes if there's a fault.

    Red is a warning lamp I added. There's an output from the AEM controller that activates if there's a fault with the system. We're using that to trigger a de-rated map for non-water/meth tune, will also turn on the red LED to let me know.
  • AbideAbide Council Member
    i thought you were gonna match my center pod! :(
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I thought about it, and decided I only needed the one additional gauge. Plus, this pod was on the shelf up at Advance.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Not a whole lot of photo-worthy progress today, but accomplished a good bit. Washed and installed a bunch of interior plastics, removed and washed passenger seat. Installed the cover plates for fuel gauge and pump. Installed and adjusted e-brake cables. Dad vacuumed the carpet.

    Ryan came over and took a test drive

    And then helped me install the hood. We were concerned about clearing the DA radiator. The radiator cap just baaaarely touches, a little adjustment is in order

    ...and then I finally got up the nerve to cut a fender. It wasn't all that bad!

    Left a little margin to fold a lip with, ended up with this
