General Supercharger Thread

Was looking at thex195...Roa Romer...what has been the problems and have they been good to work with to address all the issues or like every other MFG and blame the component mfg

 

Well, I live about 600ft above sea level and I'll be paying you to tune me and getting a smaller pulley shortly after I self install. PSB-1 is all I need to data log correct?

 

Yep he's got the Roamer 1. Issues with fit and finish , wall panel issues, some other minor things shower plumbing. But yes they took the rig back and redid it all and then some.

 

We should be witnessing some type of nuclear reaction going on through that intake window.

 

It's awesome he said when they used it once lol. Much easier than the turtle back for sure

 

We can't ignore all the gobs of hp made with 90mm TB's.

 

Well I appreciate baselining anything I have! Though there's better tuners out there that will be able to get more power out of your setup than I, so I would seriously consider OTT, Prospeed, YotaWerx, etc. but I'll tune anything you have if you still want me to with all of that said, yes I like the PSB-1 since it has a lot of features and displays both boost and AFR in one gauge. Though AEM or any other brand is fine too, it's really whatever features and aesthetics you prefer, at the end of the day a wideband is a wideband.

 

Alot of coin only to use it Once,hope it works out for him they are nice...but wall pannel issues yikes

 

Yea they switched materials but apparently didn't do well in high heat areas. So they replaced them. Shouldn't be an issue moving forward. Yep once since they've got it since it's been back at the shop. Be awhile before they use it again since now the Tundra is in the shop for a full suspension revamp among other things. He's consider the new ZR2 Silverado bison for a tow rig but we will see how it shakes out.

 

Possible ignition coil improvement/upgrade? These are from the Lexus 8AR FTS engine. Direct injection, lean burn, turbocharged with up to 17 psi. Gap for the plug is .035/.9mm… those plugs look nice, too. One coil inbound for inspection.

 

That looks like some serious reach on those plugs though.

 

It does look looong, but same as the stock plugs. Here’s the features sheet… designed for less quench.

 

I was heading on the on ramp to hwy and with the 4.5 inch intake and the 103mm TB I got a p0101 code. Hmm I do need a data log.

 

Looking for any tips to get the stock pulley off of the supercharger. Using a Snap on Puller and it isn’t wanting to come off. Felt like it was bending the pulley. Any help is appreciated!!

 

I bought this shitty 3-jaw set and it's taken two off so far without issue. Definitely depends though, one came off easy, the other one definitely did not want to come off.

If the other guys who have actually done it say a method works I’d listen to them. That said if I personally had to try and do it I would try heating up just the pulley (not the hub) with a map gas torch until it is about 120-150 degrees warmer than the hub. I use this method for mounting interference fit bearings on motor shafts at work. They slide on like butter, despite the ID of the bearing being smaller than the OD of the shaft when they’re both the same temp.

 

Maf code? Wonder if it's maxing it out or tune adjustment?

 

Out of range code. Hadn't come back. The MAF is scaled pretty spot on. But who knows. Add another SABM. Ha

 

use a 6-ton 3 jaw puller. the smaller ones don't work so well

 

They even have it in GOLD! @reywcms

Mine was a bitch getting off. I wound up cutting it off as the shaft was getting mushroomed. Can I say that in the same sentence? Haha. Definitely try heat. I saw a 7 ton 2 and 3 jaw craftsman puller that had decent faced jaws for good purchase on the pulley.

 

Oh yes I see that Hubble reflective gold shining bright there!

 

Got that bad boy off with a little heat. And you can’t say that in the same sentence. Haha

 

That the second time this year I remembered when I was on the ship. Doing some pump repairs. Getting the bearings out of the galley stove, running with big oven mitts on to the engine room yelling, get out of the way, to get the bearings on before they cooled. Fun times...

 

You repaired mechanicals on a ship? Sounds like a cool job! And yeah I get that. I usually used a bearing cone heater made specifically for heating bearings, which made it a whole lot easier. Kind of need a torch though for the removal part though of course.

 

@Silver17 Back in 1987 when I was in the USCG. No luxuries back then...ha

 

Sounds like a mini-ductor heat gun would help a ton pulling them off.

 

Any of you guys having trouble getting lined out for some tuning? I understand it's holiday season so maybe the reason. I've reached out to 3 specific tuners in past weeks but not a word back. Trying to get dialed in once pulley is swapped. Really wish this kit came with the tuner suite and MPVI3 instead of this remote tuning with RTD bullshit id adjust myself but it is what it is. Last one to try is OTT I guess

 

We are an HPTuners authorized retailer. We can can get you setup with an MPVI3 and/or tune you with your existing RTD. Shoot us an email if you need a hand.

 

@JustDSM Will do thank you!
