General Supercharger Thread.

with the K&N it never moved a millimeter even after it was quite dirty.
i put a WiX filter in a few months ago and I would assume it will move as it it gets dirty?
Dont think I would spend $$ on one.

 

My airbox has the Filter Minder and they're standard on our medium duty commercial vehicles where I work. They seem pretty superfluous. I've never seen one that indicated more than a few mm of restriction on the indicator and can't imagine an air filter so dirty that it would indicate even half near maximum restriction on the Minder, it would need to be phenomenally restrictive and you'd probably recognize an incredible reduction in performance from an engine. For a consumer vehicle, they're just a visual farkle (eye candy). They probably have a useful application in a very dirty, dusty environment, like having shovels of dirt or a hibernating bear cub packed into your airbox.

 

Alternative to vented hood? Don't like that you have to cut the fender:

Skeptical but looks like there is a passage from the engine bay to the fender in that area. You can see it in this thumbnail:

Yep tested this on some spare glass I’ll be doing this once my liner comes in (whenever the F that is) lol

 

I might have to order a set and see how they look

 

Sweet. Curious to hear how effective they are once you get it all put together.

 

I recall someone told me they are useful when engine is under load, which makes it kinda hard to observe.

On the plus side, I found a good supercharger for us to upgrade to.

 

is that @ViktorG at the bottom of the picture?

 

Forget all this talk of aftermarket hoods and hood vents and what not. This is what we need

"That thing is tiny! Do you even boost?"

 

3ft pulley is too big, @snivilous hook them up with a 2.3ft pulley asap

 

Ahh the blackhole configuration....all the boost goes in...nothing gets out.

 

On that "cooling" matter, I recall Viktor had some custom Middle Eastern-spec thermostat in stock housing, and now Mishimoto sells them, I've ordered one.

Ditto

thx

 

Would this affect the heat exchanger at all? Like if the coolant circulates at a lower temperature maybe the radiator radiates less heat to the HX? I know the HX is in front of the radiator but I wonder if it has an impact.

 

In theory, possible, in practice, I can't tell.

for the heat exchanger, I'm going this route, since I tow often and will go on a long summer road trip.

I'm pretty sure "the guy" he is referring to is @ViktorG. That looks like the same kit he's running or was at one point.

 

the product is from frozenboost.com https://www.frozenboost.com/water-to-air-heat-exchanger/air-to-water-heat-exchanger-p-1026.html

 

Same here. And that's the first time I've seen it installed. Now I'm wondering what I'll need to modify so the 20 row Setrab trans cooler and the FB intercooler all fit up there

 

ALSO FROZEN BOOST 101 INTERCOOLER IS CHEAPER ON AMAZON!

and so is the shipping! $184 with $19 shipping from FB Amazon store vs $199 with $25 shipping from the fb website...

Outstanding!!

 

Ya, I wonder if I can get a bracket made to have it to the other side instead of the center.

 

Frozen boost has this on their site lol.

 

WOW!!!! Never would have even thought that!

 

Hmm... Might need that being in Florida.

 

Would a 160 degree thermostat actually make a difference? The regular coolant operating temp of my truck is close to 200 degrees no matter the weather. If the factory one activates at 180 and the temps still level out around 200 anyway, how does a 160 degree thermostat change anything? Most I could see is it delaying the time a bit for the coolant to reach 200 from when it activated at 160. Am I missing the point of it?

 

I’m guessing here

it would allow the thermostat to let the engine fall below 180

however. In houston. I stay at 195 all the time

is this because the thermostat is keeping it at this temp? >180

I’m ignorant on this. Learn me

I found this article that explains it fairly well. The idea of the thermostat “hunting” was something I didn’t think about before I read this. The article is from 2013 so I’m not sure if the mishimoto thermostat falls under the caliber of what he’s talking about. But seeing as we have a HX and some having a transmission cooler blocking the radiator. I’m not sure the variables with it. curiosity has me wanting to test it. It’s not a complicated thing to swap out.

also I think Amazon has it cheaper as well

 

I have this paired up with the CSF radiator. Mine normally lingers around 160-180.
