You cant feel that bad for them, it just forces them into having to beg the wife a little harder to let them buy a car like a GTR, Vette or Viper. :tiphat:

considering the cost of living out there (and in many cases, the subsequent salary bumps) - those cars aren't nearly as expensive....relatively speaking ofcourse.

Ayy :happydance:

You did mention it but the worst part is you've got to tune for 91 octane (and our 91 is crappy) when supercharged. Which means I might just say screw it and go strictly e85 where I was originally going to go flex fuel. :mad:

On a bit of a side note has anyone had issues with the extra idler pulley (serp side) that TBatt made the adaptor for, starting to squeak? :eek: I'm already on my second idler pulley as my shop replaced the first one due to noise and my second one is doing it to now.
It seems to only happen when the engine is cold but after driving for 15 minutes it goes away and doesn't return until things have cooled down again. There's no sign of it failing though as yet...

And another note, anyone here successfully ran a cat or rhfc for a good amount of time ie not blowing out the catslyst comb? I just took off my FI RHFC’s for FI RTP’s so i dont blow the comb like stories ive heard from boosted cars but it turned my exhaust from perfect to absolutely atrocious and raspy and loud (for my preference). I still have oem cats and rhfc’s so i could afford to blow a pair it’d just be a shame to break those beautiful rhfc’s. I’m still on stock exhaust, want to keep car as quiet as possible. Ive heard of people welding in mufflers and resonators, anyone here done that? Also ive heard resonators dont fix volume just reduce rasp a lil

Fast Intentions cna weld 100 cell HFCs into your lead pipes.

When I went from Berk HFC's to Motordyne ART (Advanced Resonance Test) pipes I literally could not tell a difference. The way the ART pipes are designed calms the sound down much better than a straight through Helmholtz design like most RTP's. The way the design engineers over at Motordyne explained it to me was its like blowing across the top of a bottle. The vortex changes the air flow therefore disrupting the DB. I have never had a customer I recommended these to come back and say they weren't happy.

Would the MotorDyne LT-XYZ with Helmholtz Resonators be a good option or is the factory exhaust headers required to work well with the Stillen system?

The resonated straight pipe module looks similar to the ART pipes...

Good article on exhaust

The stock headers flow just fine. The LTH Would be ok as well. The xyz system makes it easy to swap in a cat if you needed that. The big issue with headers is installing them. Seems to be a bit of a nightmare.

The ART pipes are a good option, but I'm a bit of a tree hugger and don't want the smell so I run the HFCs in my lead pipes.

Boosted Z and tree hugger does not compute.

Yeah.....well, it's not my main car and doesn't get driven as much as it used to so that balances things out right?....

If there were any questions on progression....

Dang Ben! Thanks to SOHO for the write up!

Senna F1 just text me this... Breakin records and chirpin brodies!

ALMOST makes me wanna go supercharger vs my custom turbo build // nice work topgun !

All with the stock hood and strut tower brace! Haha

There's a full SC kit heading in SOHOs direction. Already have some parts en route. It will be a "mild" build keeping the whp under 500 and wheel torque under 400 due to it being an auto trans. Should be great feedback for those AT guys though.

Thanks bud.. I owe it to your awesome system... I imagine Stillen is selling allot more kits because of you. Lol

Ultimate Sleeper baby...😜

Evan is on a AT and doing over 700 to so it can be done... 😉

I am talking on the stock tranny and not shelling out 5K for a built one.

Awesome+!!!! What work did u have done to ur blower st 928 Ben?

I believe he has the "super vortech" kit installed.

https://928motorsports.com/parts/super_vortech.php

Yes sir...

Oh yeah thats right I forgot he is on a built AT...

Ahhhhh....I see.....the same set up that Evan did.....Very Sweeeet....:tup:

Just finished installing my TBatt pulley and belt, super easy install. But I'm noticing a moderately audible whine now, between 1-4K RPM. Probably higher as well but exhaust drowns it out.

Is this to be expected, or is something else going on now?

No, it is not expected with the kit. What is your belt tensioner looking like?

It should look like mine in the picture.

This is mine.

Close enough.

What kind of noise is it making? You said a whine but that could be alternator noise.

The only other person that reported a noise was because the belt needed to be broken in. The edge left by cutting off one rib isn't as smooth as the factory cut so it may just need to run for awhile and get broken in.

Hard to explain, and will try and get a clip but the best I could describe is like when an idler pulley is on it's way out.

I did notice a little bit of green on the very 1-2mm edge of the idler pulley you supply when installed. Easily rubbed off with a finger though.

Just got my tune done. Si supercharger with 9 lb pulley. 470 on 91 and 540 on e85.

I want to say thanks to Aaron (a2a), CJM (fuel system), L-Spec (install) and especially Seb@Specialty Z for doing a great tune and putting up with all my questions. He was such a pleasure to work with. Oh yeah, I forgot about TBatt for his tensioner kit. No belt slip at all!

Give it a few miles (kilometers in your case) to get broken in.

Check the idler and see if it is running hot. That could indicate that the bearing is bad.

My car made Specialty Z's Instagram page. :happydance:

Fantastic! Do you know why he eased off the throttle at 7000 RPM?

Thanks. I haven't asked him about that.

Hey Aaron, the Tial you provide comes with the correct spring right?
