Looks good Lauri. Those are the air intake tubes that come with the Roe blower? I would get an air box or something that is better than those tubes. I have a write-up on those tubes somewhere that I should post. One thing, you are sucking up engine heat and another you don't get the ram air effect you get with a box. Plus, you are pulling cooler air from in front of the radiator versus the air by the engine. When will it be totally done and driveable?
These tubes are straight from the aluminum wholesale place, cut and fit.
I needed something to drive it back from Dan's place, so we went with these.
I am still looking for alternatives, I have a carbon fibre airbox, which I may chop up or put on E-bay. Since Once I get the motor running again, I'll consentrate on sucking the cool air.
I saw a post from JackB, he had pretty slick setup.
My motor has is about 8 hours worth wiring, some unsolved tinkering and cleaning up the mess. I quess it will be running mid next week? I got rid of the 12lbs pulley and installed the 8lbs.
Hey guys...Im considering a Roe S/C....Did you guys use your stock throttle bodies? Did you guys just go with the Vec 2 setup? Im a newbie when it comes to mechanics soooo, when changing the pulley size are you increasing the boost?? I belive the kit I may be buying has a 10lbs pulley....it doesnt have the methanol injector, is that something worth purchasing?
- Mine are not stock, they are larger, but you can definately use stock T-bodies.
- I have a VEC2, nothing else. Works well with the others, so I did not want to invent the wheel.
- Small pulley (rotates faster the SC) = more boost
- Larger pulley (rotates slower the SC) = less boost
- I think 8lbs is the most you want to go without water/****. At 10lbs you start getting all kind of headackes... I will go there eventually, just wanted to start lower and fix the problems first. (whatever will show up in tuning)
- Roe sells a nice **** kit, definately good thing to have.
