Updates on the Super Charger setup.
Had a Stage 3 clutch installed today.
As the car was up on the rack I noticed a hairline gap where the intake pipe flange connects to the supercharger. The flange does not completely cover the opening of the supercharger. The gap is at most a 32nd inch wide and 2 inches long. So essentially, some air is being sucking into that opening. Going to apply some epoxy putty to the gap to seal it.
I'm eliminating the mocal remote oil thermostat. With the car having boost, the oil will warm up relatively quickly so, I think it's not necessary to have the 180 degree thermostat to the oil cooler lines. Plus it eliminates 4 oil line fittings that could possibly leak.
I will be adding a 7 1/2" spal fan with 190 deg fan control to the oil cooler with a vented wheel well liner to push the air through.
Also , I ordered a synapse diverter valve to eliminate the chattering turbosmart valve.
Ordered a set of Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole position tires. ( RE -11's just a bit out of my budget)
After all that ,should be ready for the trip to Z Dayz!!!
