General Supercharger Thread

Battery!!!!!

 

Don't the 4 post have an attachment to lift the body for wheel/ axle stuff.

 

Yes, typically only one end at a time...and they cost about $2200 for that additional need...youll need more then one to do the entire car/truck...2-post for the win! Build a lean-to on the side and store extra stuff there and outta the way!!

 

Yes you can get bridge jacks for that type of work. A 2 post is still better for body off frame type of work it appears. Also the space is still largely usable and walkable with a 2 post more so than the 4 posts.

 

That’s a 2.9

 

It's ready but they say there is oil in the SC coolant. Where would that come from & does anyone know the belt size needed to bypass the 1900?

Picking it up in an hour, now I have to decide if I want to rebuild the 1900 or go another way Does anyone have a break I can borrow?

Also Jon Bond or SCOL to rebuild?

 

Who are these people? Really!

No way for oil to be in SC coolant. Unless the intercooler brick is sitting in oil with a gapping hole. Then you would have coolant in your intake. Don't see it... open coolant hose got contaminated with a little oil?
You just had SC apart and it looked and sounded fine. Bearings good? If anything pull the ic fuse and run it. It's a closed system.

 

K080948HD is the stock belt size for the 5.7, that's what I used to bypass my supercharger.

 

Next time your engine blows up let me know and I'll send someone down to pick it up and tow it up here. Pickup and delivery with it guaranteed to work

 

Plus stickers!! And a damn fine burger in Beaver at The Creamery! So many pluses with that offered option!

 

Picked it up, feels good, there's something in the SC coolant, is it possible engine oil from the old motor got in there when the motor blew? SC coolant was getting into the intake from the brick.

IAT was at 101 on the freeway when it was 95 & 60% humidity, got up to 140 at idle which is warmer than I am used to.

I appreciate the offer, hope it's not necesary.

 

Glad to hear you got it back! As for your IATs and trying to make a connection to oil in the intercooler circuit, you will find no meaningful data in regards to your IATs since you’re reading it at the MAF sensor before any of that even comes into play. I have no idea why you would have oil in the intercooler circuit. Like MDL said it’s not logical.

 

Maybe one of the I/C hose was in oil or got oil in it. This can cause a film, a little goes a long way. Disconnect the inlet to i/c tank and have it flow into another container an try using i/c pump with hot water in tank. Like a mini flush? Then add your coolant.

 

Glad it’s back up and running!

 

There is no noise, from the SC, it seems fine.

I'll do it in the morning, thanks

Thanks.

 

Check your coolant level in the little supercharger tank. I wouldn’t worry if the level isn’t dropping.

 

I have a big coolant tank, it was full when I left the shop, full when I got home.

Thanks

 

Definitely a Gen 4 2.9L like @reywcms said. Whipple never made a Gen5 kit for the tundra; it was Gen 4 2.9L right up until this year when they switched to Gen6 3.0L. Even those who ordered Gen4 kits a "while ago" were sent Gen6 kits. Knowing it's a Gen4, I would personally skip it and go for a new Gen6 3.0L, even with the discount on that unit. It also bothers me when stuff is posted incorrectly like this unit. It's not a Gen5 or a 3.0L.
