General Supercharger Thread

Not necessarily because it’s lifted but due to the amount of travel it will have. 25”-28”

 

Other news on the build sorta, I finally downloaded the motec software from their website in order for me to view graphs/ maps/ logs etc. This will help me send info to the tuner if there ever is an issue and help facilitate remote tuning. If anyone goes down this route in the future here's the website: https://www.motec.com.au/m1-series-overview/m1s-software/

You'll want to download from the M1 section, "M1 Tune"

 

Damn that's a lot of travel.. was that your video I watched of you ripping it in the truck?

 

Yep that’s the current setup which is 16” up front and 19” rear.

 

I know them long travel setups aren't cheap, which route you leaning towards? Like extreme, remove part of the bed type of stuff or what?

 

Full fuel cell but retain the bed functionality

I paid more and ordered one off Amazon for next day arrival so I know I have it for a trip this week. Here is to hoping the Amazon one is authentic.

 

I have been following that guy on instagram for a few years. He does have dyno videos to back it up. I think i saw his highest number was like 590 something. He does good burnouts

 

590 ain't 600+. By that metric I can say 590+ when I got 574. lol

edit, oops, that is tq, so it would be 550+ when I have 534.

 

Very true. I don't know if anything has changed since the last time i saw him post. He said he was doing 1000 cc injectors (seems like overkill) and E85. So i don't know maybe he broke that 600 mark.

 

The skeptical part for me isn't the numbers, it's the numbers on a stock engine. Would like to know what he is doing to avoid grenade town.

 

And there is the secret sauce....E85.

 

On Reddit he said that he's sold the truck. And fwiw, he also mentioned that his numbers were on stock sized tires.

 

That's never overkill...

 

I think the larger injectors are needed to support fueling for E85 since it is ~30% less energy dense than 93.

 

Makes sense.

 

Sounds legit, same injector size I got on the flex fuel build.

 

Good stuff. I always want to learn something new. We don't really have E85 around here so i never really researched much about it.

 

Flex fuel tune is better than a straight E85 tune for that reason you mentioned. I've used this link below, click search and type in your zip. You may be surprised with how many E85 stations are in your area.

I just looked. There is not one spot in my entire state that offers E85

 

Where the hell are you located? I'm lucky and have 10 within a 15 mi radious alone.

 

Connecticut.

 

Oh wait….there is one lol. About an hour from me.

 

You try searching by your zip code? NVM there really only shows 2 on the whole state, that's hard to believe

 

Damn liberal state!

 

I had an e85 tune on my 86, there were lots of stations claiming to have it, frequently I got there (none really close) and either they had none or it was e54, it was also more than 91 (highest we have)

 

I hate to brag but....

Maybe I should be doing an E85 tune next lol

 

So do you have to swap tunes if you can't find an E85 station?

 

this...

and does your tune matter as to what % of Eth you are running?


or does the ECU adjust?

 

I believe the prospeed setup with the Motec uses a GM Ethanol sensor and it reads and adjusts the tune on the fly as the ethanol content changes automatically. Pretty slick.
