    So this past weekend I did the mock run.. it fired up on the 1st attempt :) but alas there was a issue.. it was running for a min or so, and then it started to smoke oil :shock: I had only a test manifold with about a 4" pipe joined to my exhaust tube to run out the door, It seems that the I forgot about a pvc from the crank case vent and had a tube run from it directly into the charger intake pipe, it sucked a huge amount of oil into the charger, causing it to fill the cylinders :( I pulled the motor, and spun the charger by hand and it went gurgle gurgle :( stripped it all down and cleaned it all up, now time to put it all back together.. has anybody else seen or heard of that happening?
  • wow, that sounds excessive, i've had a couple cars that i've taken the pvc right into the intake and it hasn't done anything like that...

    on the bright side, sounds like you have good compression :)

  • get it dynoed. i had mined tuned down for daily driving 145 @ the wheel. you can get more though.

    order extra belt 3pk1220 from bando. it cheaper elsewhere compared from jackson.

    i keep 2 extra and save about $7/ belt.

    very nice.

    keep up the good work.

    Z6's with superchargers have a great power band, they don't make a lot of power but the power it does make is really linear and pulls nicely. Plus the sound, its amazing! Looks good!

  • Wish my mk1 civivc was in that good condition!
    Yet another project I need to start :(
