This is only partially true, it also keeps oil cleaber for longer, ultimately leading to longer engine life. It helps remove water vapor and other volatiles once the engine boils them out of the oil, and instead of merely relying on the blow by to push them out, it sucks them out, leaving...

Ahhh, okay. I cut one of my lines, and instantly regretted it.

How did you get that secure? Mine always feels loose, I need to smoke check. Where on the line did u mount it?

I know a couple guys that actually do AutoX. Not sure about the others.

Lots of complaints about Gen Z here. Being part of that generation, a lot of people are now into corner carving. They think that any sort of straight line speed is boring and for old men. Anyways, where we live, the only people that you can race are people in hoopty Dodges or Infinitis. Thought...

VMP is usually the middle man for blowers as far as I understand. The TVS blowers are made by eaton. Although, they do some smaller stuff R and D.

Hey man, have you thought about checking out a junkyard? I use Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market to find junkyard parts. There are tons of results near Texas, you just have to sort out the ones that'll need paint, are damaged, or are the wrong color.

Doubtful. Now they don't have to compete to be better than anybody. Its because Procharger hasn't been able to get the tuning "key" from Ford, like Whipple was. Not sure if its a cost thing, or Ford won't let anybody else.

Sad to see this... competition is the key to innovation.

I run a blow-through, so I have a blow-off valve, and I don't have stock vortech piping. Although, it looks like the bypass post-IC should go on the side of the intake piping, as shown in 10-F. The bypass pre-IC should go under the intake piping, by where the intake for the blower is.

Interesting. Then you’ll connect both of the bypasses. You can always call Vortech, they’re pretty helpful. I’m not sure which you’re supposed to connect to be honest. I can’t lie though, I don’t see where the two bypass valves will go. Anywhere I look, I don’t see another bypass included in the...

Just replied to your other post. For any people looking at this, wondering whether to buy an A/A kit or an A/W kit, the A/A is gonna be easier, although it requires more cutting than the A/W. There are plenty of good A/A intercoolers available, but there are not many good A/W intercoolers...

Just went over those instructions for you. As I understand, the passenger side catch can may or may not have a check valve in it. I know you don't want air blowing back through the catch can. If you have the check valve vortech provides with the kit, you should ensure it goes AFTER the catch...

I just went through this with my 2V. The IAC should be anywhere post MAF. Ideally, far away from the MAF as to not mess up readings. I have a blow through MAF and the IAC is about 8” away, near the throttle body, post blower. The red vacuum line from the throttle body can be left stock.

Gotcha Gotcha. So on a big boost, high comp motor, you don't need it hooked up to the intake because its already producing enough blowby to evacuate the gases without the intake sucking them out? Thanks for giving me the break down.

Awesome., thanks!

No need to get accusatory, just curious why it has it. Wouldn’t it just create a vacuum leak?

How do your IATs look? Mine were at ambient when it was in the well… this seems like it might get hot. How’d you hook up the PCV to it too? Also is that paint on the pipes or what?

Hello all, I've been working on creating a design for my own power pipe on my V1 Supercharger '03 GT. I don't really want to spend the $400 on the AFM one, especially for $50 worth of pipes. My first iteration inducted some water from the fender well I believe, so I'm trying to move it up in the...

I fail to see why that catch can has both a breather and another port. Just ensure the whole intake tract is sealed up; otherwise, you'll get a vacuum leak. To be honest, I'd just keep two reservoirs, it'll look cleaner than all the hoses routed around.

There are houses all around the raceway now. I don't give pacific raceways much time before all the neighbors start whining, but they'll probably deal with the takeovers in kent first lol

Just picked up some Oracle (ORCL) today, hopefully, it'll keep growing. I'll probably sell it off right before the earnings report... My buddy said they usually do worse than expected, and I'll repurchase it for cheaper. Pretty happy with how AMD is doing right now.

Yeah

I installed one on my GT for my blower setup. It was plug-and-play. It's a little louder than the stock setup, but not noticeable, especially with the blower on. I did get a tune after though, so I didn't worry about any of the voltage stuff.
