My area charges 160 an hour.
Used to be 140 but increased by 20

And thanks i guess?

Nissan Dealership Results Update:

In the receipt for the 18th of October, 2018, it states that they made sure the fluid level was filled and adjusted correctly for my 7AT.

..Fast forward 6 days later and the new receipt says:

Fluid level low, added X amount of quarts, etc.

N/C of course for the service today because they messed up last week on checking the 7AT fluid level.

Lol.

Embarrassing but hey, it works now.

The 1 second idle stall jerk motion is gone -- tested and confirmed.


Just 2 issues to go:

- Tire Alignment as a result of putting KW V3s in this car

- P2A03 O2 Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2 Sensor 1
(Attached are two graphs that show they are not in sync)

- Minor oil leak


After these issues are gone, I can continue tuning the vehicle as it was before the accident on July 3rd, 2018.
RIP RED Z

We are getting there folks!
Just a little bit more!!!

Keeping those positive vibes!!

Tire Alignment complete

/Potentially closing thread soon, and if so, will make a new thread for an entire new build.

LSS (Long Story Short)...

Supercharger seized up today while making boost, I suppose it was spilling too much oil out of the vent plug and didn't even drive it for more than 10 min and it decided to belt slip and seize up, causing the belt to burn, rip, and making it so it is nearly impossible to turn the pulleys (we waited til it cooled off)

Not tripping though, I knew it was going to happen sometime since I know I wasn't going to always 100% accurately add oil when needed, just didnt' know when the blower would BLOW up lol.

If I do close this thread, I'm making a new one and will go a twin turbo set up.

Just going to tune it to limit the torque at 430 ft lbs or so since that's how much the stock 7AT can handle UNTIL i get to upgrading the tranny.

Anyways, ill keep you guys updated.

I'm going to sell the rest of the A2A kit and use that cash to help me buy the turbo set up build.
I will find out what is wrong with the blower exactly maybe it isn't totally beyond repairable and if not ill repair it and sell it.
If it's beyond repairs then oh well! xD

It's cheaper than buying a brand new blower and I can make more power out of it.
My engine is built for pretty much anything I throw at it just not my transmission so that will be limited by the tune.

Stay tuned folks

Sorry to hear this man. I followed your thread for a little while now because of your high powergoals with a SC.

Good luck and i think youre making a good decision going TT

After the sc seized, did you try draining it to see if there was any oil left in it?

Why not just go to a V7 sc?

Nope lol i figured no point in draining it if its already seized. Checked the dipstick though and it wasnt registering oil on the hatch marks. I checked it few days ago and the oil was fine on the hatch. The leak issue never got solved so i was gona keep filling it up after hard pulls but i guess the hard pulls today spat enough oil to make it seize up lol

If im lucky then its just a bearing blown / seals blown.
And not the impeller.

We will see though when i open it on thursday or friday.

For now ima run some numbers and see whats most cost efficient for me at this point

TT would give me more bang for the buck but i love me a Supercharger.

My engine is way more than enough to handle the HP i just need to upgrade the tranny and til then ill limit it to 430 ft lbs tq or something if i do go TT build with a tune. At least til i get a built tranny then ill up the TQ.

I was honestly going to get a 2200x Paxton blower instead of the v7 ysi as suggested by forum user MilkCow500.

But for that price i can get a TT setup and make a ton of power for that price lol

That SC has always gave you issues. Ugg, the modding game is really a patience game.

And why is it you wouldn't go with the V7 Ysi? You could easily hit your 700whp goal with that blower and it's a direct bolt on, just a couple of oil lines to run.

Haha it really has though.

It's okay though. I didn't like the blower to begin with once it started giving me an oil leak issue.

I neglected to solve it which is my fault and I take ownership for that, no worries.

It is a patience game but its all worth it when its working haha

Yep I was thinking the same.

I'm so close I'm almost there, it's stupid.

We fixed ALL THE ISSUES today that the car was having and the one I neglected was the oil leak issue which, ends up causing a potential irreversible death of the current blower.

I really thought of the V7 YSi but MilkCow500 persuaded me to go with the Paxton 2200x blower since that and the V7 YSi is almost equal but I guess you get more bang for your buck with the 2200x.

I just don't know about fitment issues. So many questions I have about upgrading the blower:

(1) Will the V7 YSi be a direct fitment onto the current bracket that fits the V3? Can I use it with the A2A kit?

(2) Will the 2200x be a direct fitment onto the current bracket that fits the V3? Can that be used with the A2A kit? According to MilkCow500 it can.
It just needs different sized couplers and a different air filter -- as he is having trouble finding an air filter that would fit it, otherwise I can just run it with no filter / a turbo guard lol.

What do you guys think?

As I've found out, we're pushing the V3 way beyond it's efficiency. That's why I'll be upgrading to the V7.

Yeah lol I was reading that too, which could be part of why it was spilling oil for me. Not sure why others didn't have that issue but I do!

If my blower is repairable I will just find a way with my buddy to come up with an oil return system that way any spills / spouts / leaks coming from the top of the blower will be returned into the blower lol.

Or I can just do what others did and slap a shipping plug to replace the vented plug. Lol.

Or... just upgrade the blower but not knowing how to fit a bigger blower and what items I'll need to properly connect it to the current A2A kit.

[cupcakez]

It seems the set up for both the 2200x and the V7-YSi are extremely similar except the 2200x has a higher CFM while the V7-YSi has an advantage of only +1000 RPM max speed.

CFM is more important anyways.

The Discharge OD: 3.0" same
The Inlet OD: 4.0" same
The Inducer Diameter: 3.7" same

Discharge ID: ??? on the 2200x while the V7-YSi is 2.64

Also, it says I can't order the V7-YSi in California lol so I'd have to outsource it and have that person send it to me or something.

Not sure about the 2200x though if that would be able to be sold directly to me or not.

And max power is 1200+ HP for V7 YSi
While max power for 2200x is 1300+ HP

Also has option to come with oil feed & drain line kit while the V7 YSi does not as far as I can tell

Some sc's have the oil issue and some don't. Don't ask me why. That's why I had to go to the 3.00 sc pulley instead of the 2.85. I still get a little oil coming out even with the 3.00. Some guys have put the shipping plug in with no problems. I was thinking about installing a pressure gauge in the vent hole to see what kind of pressure build up there actually is. If it's really low then I'd just plug it and not worry about blowing seals.

The V7 bolts right up to the stillen mount. I believe you'll need a larger bpv but otherwise the a2a kit can be used.

None of that matters if the Paxton doesn't bolt directly to the existing bracket.
