General Supercharger Thread

Vanquished it with this:




Before you ask why no antiseize, I paid a shop to weld in the bung for the Innovate & install the SPDs

This is cleaned, looks like it was on the Titanic.



Thinking that was the problem.

 

I was doing some WOT pulls to lean out my afr's up to 10 psi. Got it within a few points of 11afr. With no cats I saw 13.1psi down from 14psi and averages at 12psi so just kept it at 10.5 afr for the last 2psi.
Without the converters it is wickedly loud. I know Keith uses flow through mufflers to quiet down the cruise decibles, 16 inch to keep it on the low side. I've seen some from 4 to 16 inches. I ordered a set of 7 inches to see what it'll be like.
Anyone running flow through mufflers at the converters? Opinions?

 

When I removed my cats I had Keith build a set of resonators to go in their place. Still loud when I get on it but fine at cruise.

 

Omg! It feels like a different truck! Got to 9.6 no limp mode!!!

 

Congrats! Glad to see you get it all sorted out. Now park it before you find something else.

 

Well apparently this might have been a fake listing so I guess I won't be joining the supercharger crew for now. Also surprised a bit at the "install kit" price that this is missing. I guess its probably just better to get the newer complete kit from magnussen but that's a few dollars as well. Oh well maybe one day.

 

Reach out to superchargers online they're they original listing is from. They may still have units available.

 

Yeah I did and that's how I found out this kit has already been sold unfortunately. Ultimately even if it was real, with the price of the install kit and a refurb unit it would only be a little bit more to get the new bigger blower kit from magnuson. Just wasn't looking to spend 8k on it.

 

These are still on clearance, not sure how many left. https://www.vividracing.com/magnuso...57l-3urfe-20072018-clearance-p-156993662.html

 

That is twice now that I have clicked on that website and twice now that I have closed that tab in complete disgust because they can't fix the orientation of their photos. lol

 

FWIW, I am local to Vivid, have tried 4x to buy from them, unsucessfully.

 

Yeah they suck. I had try to buy a set of wheels off the owner one time. Let me just say I ended up getting a set of wheels from Japan instead. Lol.

 

I was able to...about 5 years ago. A set of de-foulers.

 

I ordered the BMWs headgasket from them, they said it was on 3 week backorder, called Supertech, they said they had a ton of them, ordered for less from MAperformance, had it in 2 days.

 

Also, on the topic of the BMW, I had another unsuccessful experience with an MS41 tuner, the person who built my motor got me a deal on a Megasquirt based standalone & tune for it. It will be here tomorrow & I'll install it.

It is similar to this but for S52.

bwahahaha. fantastic clip

 

Will that work on a 2021?

 

I can’t think of anything off hand that would be different.

 

Do it now while your money is fat!! You'll be so happy!

 

Assuming the new O2s & defouler solved the issue, anyone know a fast way to get a permanent code cleared?

Alternatively, my Autel MK808BT says it can access Mode $04 – used to clear DTCs and Freeze Frame data. This clears all diagnostic trouble codes that may be set including freeze frame data and readiness monitors.

But I can't find it in my menus, anyone know how to do it there or in Tech Stream?

 

Happens a lot. Someone relisted the s/c kit I sold a while back to scam people.

 

disconnect battery and drain capacitors by holding the positive and negative cables together for like 30 seconds. Let sit unplugged for 20 min.

 

Well guys I been lurking for years on this thread and I finally bit the bullet today and ordered a Maggie 2650 for my 2018 Platinum with 62K miles on it. I am extremely psyched! Do I need a catch can? If so what kind.

 

Congrats- yea I’d say the JLT unit works well off the shelf. Radium’s junk

 

I know this'll be like asking what the best oil is but if I had to pick for stock applications i.e. I want more power from a S/C but am not going to go smaller pulley for more boost. Is the Whipple at $7300 worth the extra $500 compared to the Magnuson 1900 on "sale" for $6800 at Vivid? I might do an intake and exhaust but really want to preserve some longevity in the engine. I don't expect 500k miles but don't want to be swapping motors every 40-80k miles.

 

Being in CT I'd opt for a non-vented unit. You really only need a PCV one. There are plenty of options like the JL's (radium not so much) and we've also found the $30 units work pretty efficiently too.

 

The little tvs1900 has a earlier torque curve but is limited in cooling IAT's. If the Whipple were available back then I'd have gone with it.

 

Nope, did what you suggested, unplugged from 9:45 to 1:15, still there
