it only took about 2 hrs to put it on... but the installation of all of the supporting mods took alot longer.... especialy the clutch... i had to tear it apart 3 times lol

Congrats on the SC, the Alpine is a pretty good setup.

Your Tib is going to be way more fun to drive now.

I have been running one for about 3 years now and been very satisfied with it.

already is and i dont have a good tune yet



ok here is a strange question....

would i have any benifit from installing a intercooler with maybe a CRY02 system or a water spray system on the intercooler? my thinking is.... the cooler i get the air the more condenced it becomes.... the more air i can get into the supercharger manifold.... the more air that will be compressed into the motor and in turn more power?

i found one pretty cheap and i can fab up the tubes so im not worried about cost or the work.... just wondering if it would be beneficial

 

[dmdicks]

Nope, zero benefit, in fact you would have less power due to the restriction. Your best option is meth injection.

alright... just what i wanted to know.... thanks

 

[markstibbyspot]

hey man, can you take better picture of your belt? what kind of grooves is that? what brand? do you have any slipping problem?

 

[larryinkc]

A couple of things that really helped my setup.

Bought an OBD II scanner so I could monitor my STFT and LTFT for tuning.

Had my TB bored out and ported the intake adapter to match.

I made a phenolic intake spacer to reduce the heat transfered to the intake manifold from the cylinder head.

Tossed the Unichip and 5th injector for a set of larger primary injectors with an AEM FIC for tuning. The FIC was a major improvement.

I use an SMC water/alcohol injection during the summer.

Removed the rubber strip that seals the rear of the hood/cowl to let out as much heat as possible. Downside to this is the cowl air intake now pulls in hot air if I don't use the AC in recirculate mode.

Installed a 57mm steel pulley on the S/C for a little more boost.

Installed an Apexi filter on my CAI.

When you need a new belt for your SC get an 8 rib Gatorback and split it in half, cheaper and I couldn't find a 4 rib the right length anyway.

Watch the bearings on the idler pulleys, mine had some cheap bearings made in China and they didn't last very long.

 

[sprague1420]

its a good year gatorback belt... it came with the supercharger and what he did was took a 8 rib belt and he cut it in half

the number of the belt is 8PK1640 and there is no slippage that im aware of
