General Supercharger Thread

I feel with everything we have collectively figured out over the last couple years in this thread we could turn it into a one post FAQ. No one would read it if they had a question though of course. (They don’t read the one we have already).

 

Ya, and who would want to comb through everything to sort the information from the banter.

 

hey...whoa...what are you insinuating?


signed,

Mr. Useless Banter.

 

It's certainly appreciated and what makes this enjoyable, but when you're looking for that one tidbit of information it gets in the way. I'm just as guilty.

 

Speaking for myself, I'm not the person I was at the beginning of the thread.

I have learned so much from you guys.

Living thru all ~500 pages was educational, to say the least.

yes, there was, more than occasional comic relief to this epic, but the journey was necessary - at least it was for me.

Thanks all.



I will will be back here in the cheap seats, poised to inject necessary semi-useless info.

 

I too couldn't see myself going through 500+ pages. I read the first post and a few pages after. I read some stuff I already knew from having a SC years back. So I decided to jump to the end when I bought my SC. @snivilous has been very and I mean very informative on his email about all my questions. He has explained in detail how tuning works through HPT since I like to know what I am looking at and also learn a thing or 2. So much that, I actually changed a cell in the tune. Wrote the new change to the ECU and went for a data log run.

 

New option for Maggie Coolant reservoir

I would never go off topic, oh wait, I resemble your remark.

Lol

 

It's cool but I'll be going bigger when I change it.

 

I currently have no issues with my tank, but. If and when the time comes this is a nice opinion over the Figs that's $400+

 

I take it, it will be custom made?

 

I have this in the BMW, it was cheap on eBay.

 

Damn, that is cheap. Nice share!

 

Here's the listing.

Yeah I'm with this guy! What is this "we" stuff! You got a mouse in your pocket or are you speaking French?!?!

Actually started making a list to index useful info in this thread. May start a private thread if others want to dig in.

 

Sounds like homework

 

Yeah, I just searched "coolant expansion tanks aluminum" in eBay and found a shit ton of options for sizes and shapes! Thanks because this helps me with another project I'm working on.

 

Get one like it for cheaper and bigger on Amazon

 

Same on Amazon and youll know when youll get it by

No extra credit for you!

 

Same one, same price, overnight!

As an outsider trying to find their way into this thread a few months back, it was overwhelming to say the least. And while not anywhere near the level, i can see the same fate for the turbo thread.

What I feel like would help is almost like a "beginner", "intermediate" and "expert" type of breakdown since you all have such a broad and diverse audience. It's like any other data mgmt plan or folder structure, though, and is not an easy task.

I'll be flight following. Kudos to everyone for even thinking about the FNGs trying to get savvy

 

I wouldn't tell anyone to read the thread. Glance through the first post, then comment and ask questions. There's way too much shit in this thread to try and digest it, and simple basic questions at least gives us something to talk about

 

Bwahahaha. I read your first post about 700 times, got 134 pages in, and then gave up. It is a really cool journey, though, but not for someone trying to learn FI via SC 101s, and asking basic questions may feel like asking a F1 driver how to parallel park.

 

What’s a thread without useless banter anyway, we are just here to talk boost even if it’s not of substance. For example, I saw this video again that probably most have already seen even in this thread, and dammit I'm here to share it again cause man does it sound good. Also, now in retrospect I never thought I’d be able to hit a similar 1/8 or 1/4 mile as this truck when I first saw the video, and now here I am! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4PMXaXwj860&pp=ygUNZWthbm9vIHR1bmRyYQ==

 

I fail to reject the null hypothesis that reading this thread has no impact on your savings account. Instead the known datapoints show a strong negative correlation. I propose creating a FAQ would be such a financial burden to a new readers savings account as to create legal liability. Thus slow dripping the wisdom found in this tome of 520+ pages is essential.

Time spent on this thread vs savings account balance (2024 colorized):

 

I ment bigger than the kit one. But its the same as you posted but through Amazon youll prob get it quicker

 

That suppose to be 12s 1/4 ? Because thats now way. Im guessing a 12s 1/8

 

It’s a 12.8 1/4 mile and a 8.2 1/8 mile.

 

Definitely possible…
