I changed the alternator on the Z not long ago (like in Sept). Had the battery out and tested it while doing some other clean up as well. Everything seemed fine at the time. Fast forward to yesterday, I get a jump and head to O'Reilly's and pull the battery to replace it. The battery was leaking pretty bad on the bottom and the tie down hook at the bottom is corroded AF. lol wtf??

Oh well, new battery is in and the thing cranks like mad now :tup:
Gonna drive the Z today though ;) :rock: :driving:

Told ya, Craigslist batteries..... WTH.... The only batteries I have had luck with not puking acid everywhere is the gold line of Advance autoparts. That's it. That is one of my pet peaves. I can't stand a leaking and corroding battery.

Might go out and visit over the weekend and bring him home if he's still available... I might not be married after this but at least I'll have a dog! :rofl2:

Not happening... :thumbsdown:

Seller finally called last night because he had another buyer lined up already that backed out... that's why he never returned my call. We set it up so I would come see the dog today and told him I would call before I leave so he knows when to expect me. So I called/left vm @11 and said I'd be up there by 2ish. Just before I was getting in the car he called back and wanted to tell me the dog has a medical condition ( hernia ) that might or might not need surgery. He also told me that a puppy from the same litter also has hernia but that does need an operation. Strong belief that this is an Amish puppy mill. He was advertising these puppies as fully healthy with all shots up to date... :bs: I don't do business with these type of people.

Disappointed to say the least but will keep looking.

Always good to remember to eat, especially when in a D3 coma. Time tends to get away from you.

Last bath of the year for the Z :crying: Under the covers hooked to life support until I need to work on something :rofl2:

Dropped coverage on it too. At the end of the call the agent said "Love your car! If I wasn't scared of small cars I'd have one." :icon17: I told her she has my number and address stop by anytime for a test drive :roflpuke2:

So we did a pulley swap and dropped my boost from 19.15 psi @62700 rpm to 15.81 psi @ 56400 rpm. Was hoping to pick up power by bring the blower back into the efficiency range. It lost a little more power and torque.

What's weird is that with my V3 blower, every pulley change I did spun the blower faster (out of it's efficiency range) but it picked up power and torque with every change. With the same pulley set up on the new V2 as I had on the V3, the V3 made more power.

Something isn't making any sense. I don't know if I want to change the intercooler and see what happens, although soho says their intercooler is good for 1000 hp, I researched difference IC cores and the same size core from Bell is rated at 425 hp and one from Vibrant is rated at 600 hp. The shop that built my car is suggesting spraying cold air (nitrogen or nitrous) into the the IC core while on the dyno and see if the hp dramatically rises. Then I would know that the IC is undersized. But the IAT's weren't high anyway.

Attached are 2 dyno sheets, one showing the 19.15 psi run and the 15.81 psi pulley change run. The other one shows my old V3 16.78 psi 679whp run and the V2 19.15 psi 634whp run utilizing the same pulley combo on both blowers.

Something weird is happening. I’m not a blower guy, so definitely not my area, but if your intake temps aren’t high I can’t see the intercooler being an issue.

I agree, hopefully Vortech's engineers will have a little insight. The only other thing I can think of is that my stock motor doesn't make enough power to spin this blower but that shouldn't be the case

Thanks. Very rewarding when it all comes together but frustratiing as hell at this stage. I don't want to just keep throwing money at it hoping that cures it. :ugh2:

Still sounds treasonous against the current boss lol

Regardless shouldn’t you guys at the FBI be working on being productive like looking at Biden’s son or does that all go away now?

Hmm...

Why are you celebrating? We had two of the worst candidates for President ever. That is not something to celebrate about. Whatever happens our country has to make it through 4 more years of BS. Then we hope and pray we get a good candidate to vote for.
