Stage 2 sc build has begun

tiller

Still lots of snow here, still a couple months till its back on the road

Installing new parts for now lol, new 32mm front sway bar, cjm fuel return

I'll be running 110 octane this summer, with a retune on ecutek from seb I should be making some decent power

tiller

Little update on my car,

Cj fuel return lines are installed,working on the fuel pump and hat right now.

Megan front swaybar installed

Seibon ts vented hood should be arriving tomorrow, hopefully it helps with getting some heat out of engine bay, hopefully make some good power on 110 octane this summer.

I haven't had any issue with engine bay heat ..... I just ordered a new air filter mine was destroyed from the exhaust pipe ... need a heat shield made .... I did buy another nismo ... a 2017 this one is black .....I still have the white one as well ...will be adding a boosted performance kit to it soon

TopgunZ

Huh? So the filter sits so close to the exhaust that it gets ruined? It must suck in a lot of hot air then.

Iam not having trouble with heat but I no when I pop the hood after coming back from a good canyon tour you can cook an egg on the motor, heat rises so it makes sense to vent or else it just heat up intake pipes and temp,and then so on and so on, plus the hood looks badass

Plus a stillen front bumper and fast intention tow bar cuz that stock tow bar cuts intercooler in half, it's a must have

Jinxx

Yes it's very close to exhaust the worst part of the kit in my opinion... but not really any other options that I know of ...

Jinxx

Tow bar? Front bumper reinforce bar .... that's covering the intercooler.... I didn't think that would matter since the bumper is covering it anyway ....

Dean_z34

I took my reinforcement off and well air gets in front of all you car when it goes into your bumper so essentially it is covering it and was gonna ask you guys if it's worth running a heat shield for the intake underneath and also I've always wondered after how many miles do we need to change the supercharger oil? Don't worry I haven't had the kit on for too many miles lol

theDreamer

Belt/Fluid/Filter is every 50,000 miles per Rotrex, but honestly, I would cut that in half. I went through belts every 20-25k miles anytime I did that I changed fluid & filter.

Heat at the intake were my issues during the dyno tune. I 'm not so sure heat would be a problem at speed. But on the dyno, a floor fan is going to help a lot! I did not have a floor fan when I tried tuning with the 88mm pulley. Hence, I could not get power out of that pulley.
Back to the drawing board.

tiller

Tow bar, reinforcement bar same thing, your tow hook threads into it if car happens to fail

Even the stock front bumper scoops up air to your intercooler, that's the reason for the intercooler, to allow outiside air to pass thru it to cool charge air, that's why hot intake air causes things like detonation and loss of power. You pack a supercharger or even turbo under our already saunas for engine bays and you are upping the temp big time of the incoming air to our plastic intake manifolds, don't get me started on those lol.

Jinxx

Not sure if the heat shield will help for the intake temps in that location ..mainly need it to protect the filter from melting ....and what would be the essayist way to change the supercharger oil ..I don't really see any drains...so do you just drain the resivor?

fryzia23

Take off supercharger fluid line from the reservoir(the one on top) and place it into empty bottle. This will be your waste fluid. Have your new fluid ready. Have a helper start the car for you. At the same time the old fluid starts to drain into the waste bottle, you keep adding new fluid into the reservoir until you have about 1/4 bottle left of new fluid. At that point have you helper shut off the car. You want some left just incase you need to add it for proper fluid level. Hope that helps.

Jinxx

Yea I know how the intake temps affect everything ... just didn't think removing the row bar would help very much
