[askiles]

Supercharger is back from porting and rebuild and ready to scream.

Wait, what!? 2.5!!!?? I’ve never seen one of those! You got built internals? Boooost!

Thats what I was thinking, that and lots of cooling mods.

The snout has to be machined to get that little thing on there. What pressures you looking for.

Yep, 2.5". I went ahead and went all out. LOL Why not?!? What's the worst that could happen... No built internals. I am testing the extents of the stock internals. I have the accomodating mods to support the boost, besides the internals.

Yes it did. That was done when it was apart to port and rebuild it.

Are you going to run straight E85 full time?

Nope. Good ole pump gas.

I've seen the way you drive, you've got a heavy foot. You'll blow yourself to pieces.

Really?? I am wondering where you have seen me driving??

[askiles]

Lmao!

 

[Johvans]

Nope. Good ole pump gas.

In all seriousness you may want to reconsider this. With a 2.5" pulley you will be outside of the efficiency of the blower and the air will be extremely hot. Without the aid of the cooling from E85 or meth injection I would worry about detonation (blowing yourself to pieces) or not being able to run enough timing to make it worth while.

 

[JSATX]

I have to agree. At that point it’s not about PSI it’s about temperature. I’d go so far as to say you may even see less HP compared to say the 2.7” just due to massive amount of heat soak. If nothing else just try it and watch IAT religiously.

 

[askiles]

We will see! If I want to swap pullies later it will be quick and easy.

I head to Texas this weekend to pick up chassis #140!!!! Powdercoated in Kingsport Grey.

I really do like the custom door option. That's the second one I've seen, it's a nice blend of the standard/easy entry.

Thanks! I really dig it. It is a nice happy median. Plus I just like the look of it in general.

I agree, i would have liked to have mine like this. Looking back I do like the easy entry because it really is a little difficult getting in and out. who knows if that would help though.
