I also ordered the air straightener that Top recommended, I get orders from them the next day. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...ad5812597e.jpg

Really??

I wonder if there was problem with them? :/

That air straighter is awesome, I got mine coming aswell!

Looks like all of us are moving in the right directions!

They come in 600 or 1000 now. I ordered a set of 850s and got 1000 so I sent them back and called Z1 for 850s and was just told they stopped making them.

I'm on a stock block and stock 7AT so I kind of expect to brake one of them but I hope it's not both at the same time! My plan is to get this all done before Oct 3rd so I can take it to Sebring that weekend and see what it can do.

So where exactly is this air straightener put? I tried to order 850s as well last week and was told they were no longer made and went with 1000s also.

Stillen Bracket Reinforcement
 

Found a few pics of the Stillen Bracket on line and did a real quick job of photoshopping them to just to illustrate the weak area I'm referring to.
If you notice in the picture that has the SC'r attached to the bracket it actually looks like it is solidly designed and constructed.
It is, however, deceiving.
The SC'r itself stands off from the bracket by about a 1/4" or so with a rather stingy spacer --- and to make matters worse, it is only supported part way around.
The SCR is held in space (pun intended) by only the 3 bolts and the small surface area of the spacer.


In the next photo I airbrushed out the SC'r [very quickly and not to scale] just to illustrate the small surface area [highlighted in red - again not to scale] that is being asked to support the SC'r under load.
This is where I feel there is the need for reinforcement in order to reduce the bracket flex.

There is room enough to create a more substantial spacer - extending it's mass to the left [clearing the belts] bolting it to to the main bracket plate with either 3 more bolts or 2 bolts and a locator pin.
This along with EVO's much improved tensioner plate on the other side of the bracket plate should make the bracket super strong.

I'll be the first to kick in another case of beer to EVO's buddy !

Looks like my old DSM's honeycomb, remember we used to remove parts of them to make more power lol ;)

Awesome Info ... :eek2:

Right before the Mafs in the 3" section. Straightens the air out so your MAFs can get a good reading. There suppose to improve idle and such. for 20 bucks, i think its a no brainer. :)

Your exactly right, theres basically nothing holding up this charger.



This design has a MAJOR flaw, He has his brace on his charger. which is fine.
BUT he has the other end of his bracket hooked up to the body!! super big no no..
What happens when your motor moves back and forth from torque lol.

thought that was funny!! i guess he won't need solid motor mounts on one side at least lol

I don't remember how this one worked out but there is one on here where the bracket is attached to the block. This is the correct way :0 I'd think

here and JTran Studios builds these braces.

I love this forum! So much good info is being shared. Thank you all for preventing us from beating dead horses.

Hey top,

Did you get your intake pipe all sorted out

Quick question since a lot of Supercharged guys are in here. Can Ecutek support an aftermarket IAT sensor? (Tapped into the IM after the heat exchanger) Would be worth looking into for guys who want to run a safer tune with low-moderate boost. That would give you loads of info on the A/W intercoolers efficiency.

Yeah man. Sasha is sending it today!!!
