Super Charger

good luck...keep you fingers away from the belt and pulley system when you get it done...



TOE, looks like it is healing nicely Yeah, I am a morbid bastard.... after seeing a few mishaps with missing fingers from friends I like to see a comparison on the "fixing it " stuff

feel better TOESTER

 

rub a little dirt in it. it'll be awright . . .

 

Sweet! Keep your fingers crossed that the install goes on without a hitch. :wink:

 

Anyone want to trade their supercharged 6th gen for my 1973 Corvette Stingray. Newest Corvette you can build without having to worry about smog... Also, 1 year only car. Only Stingray with chrome bumpers on the rear and fiberglass on the front. and now :focus:

 

Great thread Toe!! Awesome pics and write up, almost feel like we are right there with you.

 

heal up well bro...and get the damn vidz up!!!
Thought about this kit as well...then I thought about the install bill from the Stealership. So I think I just do sprockets...especially with the posted pixx of the slight miscalculation you had with the SC pulley. See...I tend to have many miscalculations when I tinker with things...so your one could equal my 4...yeah...DIY with this kit for me!!! All jokes aside...glad you're healing well...now get the damn vidz up!!!

 

Update

The time oot was unavoidable as there is nothing more worthless than a one handed mechanic but getting back on track. Got the VTR fan blade on (slow and painful and aggravating) and the results were mixed. The temps went to the moon, did not pass go and did not collect $200 dollars. WTFF? After looking at the set up I found the blade was way to far away from the radiator and was blowing air everywhere but THROUGH the radiator.

 

Better

Took the fan back off and "adjusted" the mounting to get it a wee bit closer and the results are much better.

 

The fan before the "adjustment" would result in temps climbing to 240+ and not looking back. After they were better than stock in all situation but sitting dead still in traffic, would still cool but temps dropping very slowly. I even took it oot for a couple of hours in 100 ambient temps and it ran very hot in bumper to bumper traffic but would off as soon as I got moving again. Rode it a couple of time in 85-90 ambient and it runs cooler than stock now. I am calling the cooling system a done deal.

 

is there a way to channel the air from the fan blade to the radiator? maybe put some cardboard or something around the fan housing to prevent the air from going all over the place except where it needs to go...

 

The bike is all back together and loaded up, gonna go for a long ride. We shall see how well things go in a few thousand miles. See ya'll on the road. First stop Coo's Bay Oregon.

 

Waiting with baited breath... For the ride report, AND A F'ING V I D E O !!!

Have I mentioned that I'd love to see a video of this awesome piece of engineering you have?

 

Watch yo chit in Cooze Bay.. The Bakersfield of Oregon.

Baited breath is when you eat sardines and don't brush afterward.

He's prolly out doing some cool smoky burnouts right now and dammit I'm missing out on all the awesome tire shredding action. :mmph: :lol:

 

Well, what a bunch of courteous and sensible riders those fellers are. I need to ride with them and try my best to do as they do............:rant:

 

TC remember our little "No room at the Inn" incident. I've decided that we can squash it with a little test ride on the "machine" See you at Long's...

"The Streetfighters say that they don't speed and they are almost always in control of their bikes. But of course, a crash will happen every now and then."

This has got to be one of my favorite quotes of all time...
