Yeah I have the same problem with E85, zero local supply. Last time I looked my car runs I think 5 degrees of timing near redline at WOT. Ton of power left on the table if I had access to better fuel but I've at this point accepted my fate lol.

You're lucky you have 93. I know some people here in Cali that don't have access to e85 and have to run 91. I do know someone that has a high hp Z32tt and runs 91 and Boostane. He swears by it.

Close, but some where in the middle. 92 octane here in the PNW.

Let me know how the water/meth injection works out for you JVerge, I'd be interested in perhaps doing something like that down the road as well.

Talk to "Z"en on here, @minized123456 on IG. He runs water/meth on his sc'd z.

I talk to him on occasion, I use his supercharger belt tensioner. Never knew he did water/meth though. Neat.

Makes you wonder how some guys are daily'ing 685whp on 93 at 14psi....

The Kit was purchased new from Topgunz thru RT Tuning. They installed the setup that was sent directly from Aaron. Can you please explain to me which pulley you are calling the sc tensioner pulley? I'm guessing it's the one directly behind the sc. Correct?

Can you detail what pulley setup these guys are running in order to get to those numbers on 93 Octane? Can you also please detail what the pulley setup is supposed be with this kit new? Thanks

Will do. Want to try and get my pulleys set up correctly first. I will be reaching out to "Z"en on IG if needed.

2.95" serp side jackshaft, 3.2" SC side on JS, 3.0" on SC

I should clarify on that 687whp number on the V3-Si. Z1 is the only one who displayed a number like that. Is this daily driven? Did it leave the dyno at that power? Was it straight 93? Im not sure.

I know that Dynosty holds the record for the ACE kit but of course that took E85 and they made 685whp.

Keep us updated on this :yum:

The adjustable tensioner pulley between the sc pulley and the jackshaft pulley

What is the advantage of running the 3.47 jackshaft pulley (sc side) and 3.0 SC pulley?

More boost

Disadvantage is if you're running the V3 blower you'll be spinning it so fast (over 62000 rpm) that you'll destroy the oil slinger

Yeah but I'm only running 1050 injectors so I won't be spinning as fast as you

I ended up having to go with 1300's and twin fuel pumps

Hey everyone. Noticed some oil coming out of the BOV. Pulled the charge pipe off and there is a good amount of oil around the coupler from the outlet on the S.C. connecting to the charge pipe. My oil level is still fine and the blower has been running for around 6000 miles and the oil has been changed twice.

Did my seal go bad? I'm also not running the 9si pulley on the front, I'm running the 8psi.

Is it redish/pink fluid? Mine does the same but its never really been a problem, I just change the fluid out more regularly to make sure it stays topped off, measuring the fluid coming out to have an idea of how much was lost. I figure worst case scenario rebuilding the supercharger is pretty cheap and simple so I just blissfully ignore it.

It's black. Only started I would say about 1 week ago. Just in time for boost season to tear it down :)

All, how simple is tearing apart the Vortech to inspect/ replace seals? Or am I better off sending to Vortech?

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the repair and inspection will be quick. Vortech advertises two weeks or more, but my major rebuild was done in five days. The bad news is that it can be expensive. Mine was leaking fluid and then mistakenly contained too much fluid, causing the seals to give and essentially cooking the blower.

So some updates on that intake: Unfortunately it didn't really work out, while the fabricator did about as good of a job as one could do with that hilariously limited space and offset there just wasn't enough airflow, car maxed out at 9psi (for comparison I did 15psi with that K&N filter and a little over 17psi with a turboguard). Because it was hand made it was shaped similar to a box which is going to be pretty rough on the airflow since it would have to make a couple 90 degree turns. I'm assuming it could probably work if a similar piece was cnc machined or used some high temp 3d printed plastic to create smooth angles instead but I have no way of doing that.

I have not given up however, I have a couple other ideas I plan on trying out later this week/next week instead.

You mean like what I made on page 5 of this thread?

Correct, it's similar.

I appreciate the feedback.

I was able to do the rebuild myself after seeing the prices of a rebuild lol. Wasn't too bad, a hydraulic press worked wonders. Replaced both seals and an input and output bearing that I had to remove with a pulley extractor that probably loaded up the bearings from the removal. Now she's ripping again!

All part of the game I guess :driving:

Excellent! I have been back on the road for several weeks after my rebuild, but sadly we have winter blend ethanol to look forward to.

I'll be upgrading to TopgunZ's new Rotrex Kit so I'll be selling my ACE Kit in which I made 543 whp at 14psi and 426 tq
