Yeah I haven't understood it everything is black except for the front and rear pillars and the headliner. Wtf was GM thinking?


Anywho are you going to dyno it once you get the supercharger put on?

taerae86

yeah, someone dropped the ball there

uhm, i'm not really sure... prob eventually, not right away though lol there's no where really around where i live to take it. some shows have like those traveling ones or whatev, but i'm not too fond of that lol

Doomstar

I wish you good luck with your Build.
Ahh the first time you floor it... Epic.

taerae86

thankss!

1LowLS

Agreed.The 1st time I went WOT afte the blower,I had the biggest smile on my face as 1st and 2nd gear went into a cloud of smoke

Doomstar

Me and my Tuner wasn't expecting this monstrous Torque we had our heads forward before I launched it. It was like those moments when they push the button in 2F2F lol.

06_cobalt

Oh that's cool so are you building it to make it more for car shows and have some fun during your daily driving?

taerae86

i cant freaking wait. first time i hit boost in the bf's after he turbo'd was awesome lol i'm like counting down the days lol


yeah, for the most part

1LowLS

yeah I just layed into it in 1st and 2nd,look back and there is smoke all the way down the road with some nice tire marks haha.I couldnt stop giggling

1LowLS

Turbo to blower is so different.with blower,its instant power so the tires just roast up.your gonna love it!!

That's cool. I'm trying to get a SS and if that doesn't pan out I'm gonna build the motor and shoot for 350 whp in this car.

Depends on turbo, I miss my LSJ dearly but my LNF and it's torque had cost me more treadwear without a doubt . Spool is amazingly low after coming from two blower cars.

taerae86

when i was looking at cars, insurance for me for an SS was redic. it's gone down since then, but i'd rather build it. i'm not looking for anything crazy, just some fun

1LowLS

even then,they'll never have insta boost like a blower.I get what your saying but blower power is as soon as you step on it and no a second later

comon man, truth is no one has instant boost because that's impossible. the only time you may come close to instant boost from a dead stop is if you had a smallest pulley available, or you threw it in 2nd and floored it from 55mph.

jmesl8er

If all your accesories drives turn instantly as you hit the gas, then why would'nt the supercharger too. I think it is instant horsepower, as soon as you touch the gas

taerae86

well, the fun starts today/tomorrow!! anddd my new boost/oil pressure gauges are coming today, woot!

and with the help of my dad's friend (welding) and my grandpa (machining it down/drilling), the IM looks good as new! i forgot to upload pics of that last night, so those will come later today but getting there/almost done with the blower, thank god lol

1LowLS

Yessir.I hit boost instantly,and I mean [B]instantly/[B].Dead rev from idle(going WOT) and it's anywhere from 5-9 psi and that's sitting still in neutral or with the clutch in.The blower always has boost on deck,being it's always spinning faster then the crank.

taerae86

so we made ALOT of progress this weekend (pics to come later!)

but i have a few questions for you all...

#1 - i have this wiring diagram from Beck's How To for the MAF/MAP



first of all, is this the right diagram for a 2.2 as well? if so, my questions are do you splice them together from the stock stuff to the MAP on the intake manifold, like all three plugs wired together? or cut and omit from the stock MAF and add to the MAP on the intake manifold? also, my MAF plug has two tan wires so i'm not sure which one would be the right one to use?



#2 - does anyone have a diagram for routing hoses with a dual pass so i know whats in and whats out?

#3 - my stock TB is a 6 pin. the one i got is an 8 pin, which i didnt realize until yesterday lol anyway to make it work?
