General Supercharger Thread

Wow, I just received main and rod bearings that I ordered in 2021 and completely forgot about...gotta be some kind of record

 

Does the engine crank fully by hand? Like several full rotations?

 

I believe mine is due to a tight belt also, but then again 13 years of use isn't too bad.
My belt is tight. I have to do a water pump change and I might order a smaller billet pulley from ASP. Think it's $150 that they sell with their larger crank pulley. I just never got one when I went with their crank pulley.

 

Edit...I didnt read...

 

Had some problems with the belt tensioner pulley in my 98 Tacoma years back.
The bearing kept failing and they'd only sell you the complete pulley with the bearing installed.
Made my own pulley out of 316 Stainless and pressed in a sealed German speed bearing intended for skateboards.
Never had another problem with it.

 

I laughed way too hard at that. That’s awesome.

 

I just cranked on it for over a minute, forgot to mark the belt to see it was going around, but sure felt like several full rotations. I have only 2 plugs out, and I felt the lower compression (easier to move) on those strokes 3x

 

WTF hahahaha, should leave a review "5 stars, shipped in a timely manner, only took 4 years 3 weeks"

I originally told him no, I got it, but then he told me it’s a law. Frickin Jersey.

 

Ha! Had something happen similarly in the early 2000's with Clutchnet. Had an order for a dual friction clutch disc that was waiting on a batch run, I forgot about it and went to something else, then 2 years later they find the paper order slip on the floor behind the desk. Luckily they called first before shipping.

 

In case anyone is thinking, just do it yourself.

It's mid 80's at 5am, soon it will never be under 90



It literally just went to 116!

 

yeah, but it's a dry heat! J/K

 

I cannot comprehend why anyone would live in the Phoenix area, but power to you

 

Me either.

Moved here for 6 months in 2006.

Reminds me of the song stuck in Lodi.

Lol

 

I think that you have no choice but to become nocturnal.

 

I am nocturnal, generally up about 3-4am, but it's dark & still mid 80s even then, very soon, never under 90

 

Getting an P2198 code. When I google it, it shows others that get the same code has another code with it but my truck is only getting the P2198. Has anyone ever encountered this issue?

2015 with TVS1900, DW650 injectors, PS fuel rail and FPR, walbro pump

 

recently boosted?
run fine for a bit or is this right off the tune/install?

code is for rich condition, pre cat. prob bad o2 sensor imo

how does the truck drive?

edit - do you have afr gauge to verify how rich it's running?

 

It was fine for a bit, I started noticing a check engine light coming on when I drove in the rain. It hasn’t came back when I cleared it until a few days ago. It will come back 5 mins after I clear it now.

 

Two questions: do I need an adhesive for the O-Rings? Looks like it had some.



Also, I assume for assembly I needed a bolt in the middle opening? It was not there.

Can I use this?

 

how long is a bit?
miles since blower was installed and truck was tuned?

could be bad o2
could be stuck inj

does your exhaust smell like fuel?
rough idle?
misfire?
also - are you running an oiled air filter? if so, clean MAF and install dry filter

 

Yeah, about 2-3 thousand miles. I barely drive the truck. Yes exhaust smells like fuel but thought that was because I have headers as well. No misfire, no rough idle

 

I hope I don't get flamec but with older o-rings I'll roll a bit of fipg to get them to stay put. If it's on a slow setting and not cross threaded but don't take the chance.

 

i would clean MAF (and install dry filter if you have an oiled one in there), clean o2, see how she does.

 

Gotch, I’ll clean the MAF again, I cleaned it recently when I installed the AFE pro dry filter. I also switched from the Trd box that came with my super charger to a buddies magnuson if that matters at all, im told they’re the same thing.

 

Right there with you--- here in Nevada
was 110 yesterday at work

 

copy on airbox and filter, good there if the same size.
check obd data to see real time afr on the o2 sensors

 

Measure the TB hose opening on the new vs old air box. There are 2 sizes of TRD box lids, changing sizes without a retune would cause a rich/lean issue

 

Sounds like Texas. Plus the humidity.
