The Silver Fox - another raptor charged utility.

[one_and_only2004]

Thought I'd best show off one of the newer members of the Raptor Forced Induction family.

Powa!
CAI
Pod Filter
Mace 69mm Air flow sensor
Mace 69mm Throttle body
Mace 12mm manifold insulator
Mace 12mm plenum spacer
Jack Bros. Engineering heads
Raptor 10psi Intercooled Supercharger (Intercooling thanks to Raptor Charged VX)
Comp Cams Stage 2 Supercharged CAM
Yella Terra 1.8 Ratio Roller Rockers
Redback extractors
Twin HM 2.5" High-flow Cats
Twin 2.5" Manta Maloo Exhaust
Mal Wood 400kw Tremec 5 Speed gearbox
NPC cushioned button clutch


Intercooled, Charged and Cammed it runs 237.1RWKW with 490NM of torque.

I've pretty much done everything short of stroking the motor - which I'm not too keen on. Any ideas for more power are welcomed. Also a information on a straight drop in performance fuel pump would be appreciated.

about time this thread is in here ..

I did it this morning - just for you Trent. Did you have any plans for changing the intake pipe?

[immortality]

Raptor does a 4" intake which should help a bit. enclosing the POD will also help. when you fit the cooler, move the MAF so it's after the cooler and the BOV. i figure that cam will really wake it up, especially with some ace heads

[one_and_only2004]

Yeah I might have to see about one of these 4" intakes. As for the pod filter I'm waiting on the intercooler to go in before I have a box built up - I'm going to make a mock-up box out of cardboard, Then get it made up out of a mixture of gal sheets and heat shielding.
As for the MAF, I'll let RCVX work out all that business - I'll just drive the thing...

[Raptor Charged VX]

the maf is gettin located in the perfect position,, its up to you julian we can use four inch flexi pipe

[one_and_only2004]

Sounds like a plan actually, I'll see if i can find anything at work.

[Raptor Charged VX]

ok an we can reduce back to 3 inch onto the charger..a flexi intake would be good then we can really make the pressure side of the pipework flow well

[hail storm]

Look'n good Jspec

[one_and_only2004]

Thanks boss, I aim to please!

[psivyv6]

looks good mate

[one_and_only2004]

Still haven't got my charger back - tim is sending it tomorrow - will be cutting it very close for this weekend!

[psivyv6]

fingers crossed mate

[Raptorsc]

In the mail as they say

[one_and_only2004]

Was just about to update this - good news!

My cam should be here by the end of the week, though it won't be going in for about a month now - unexpected holidays to Tasmania tend to wreck the budget...
Also had a talk to ChipTorque in Nerang about getting a MAFless tune - $1400 drive in/out including all wiring and sensors - very tempting.

[Raptorsc]

Wonder what the progress on this one is .............

[Raptorsc]

Tick tick tick .......... must be some new info soon or maybe its just the long drive back

[one_and_only2004]

Righto, just got home!

Put the supercharger on Friday morning - the annoying noise was gone for a while - until the idler pulley gave way too. $30.99 at Repco had me going again. Showed up at RCVX's place and started work on the intercooler kit.





Everything fits perfectly - except for the front bar, but I'll grind that down a bit next weekend. The SSQV valve is a little bit small so I'll be looking for something a bit bigger over the next week.
Had a bit of a problem with the electronic boost gauge. The brand is ProSport from America. For some reason it stopped the blow off valves from closing so all of my boost was being vented constantly. After that was fixed i took it for a strap and HOLY SHIT does it have some poke now! Can't wait to get 12psi happening. I also have to re-do some of the silicon joins as a few blew out tonight when i was having some fun...

I'll get some more pictures of the whole setup tomorrow when it's not 2 degrees outside...

[Lazza78]

nice ute there julian.. was good to meet ya over the weekend while 'the fox' was under construction lol

[Raptor Charged VX]

so you blew out some silicone mate,, maybe go for some bigger clamps. im guessing the system isnt loosing much boost,, you will have to let me know what the gauge reads when you put it on ..
was a pretty good job on the overall , no real big problems,

[one_and_only2004]

Yeah it was good to meet you too Larry, it's great to finally meet some like-minded individuals. I've got a parcel at the post office, so I'm hoping that's the gauges - it'll be interesting to see what it pulls!

[Zeussy]

Farrk that cooler looks the goods while she's sitting there half naked lol,

Keen to see what sort of results you'll be getting once its all done and on 12psi!

[one_and_only2004]

Yeah boss, should be interesting when it's finely done. I should have the dollars to get the heads and cam in very soon (within the next few weeks) so you'll be hearing from me soon about those rockers.

[Zeussy]

Haha, sweet as!
Was watching this thread when it first went up, then saw it up in the 'new posts' quite a bit, which got me thinking, I gotta check this thing out

Theres something about a front mount that says "f*** off I mean business"

[one_and_only2004]

Well they're not all talk, I can guarantee that! The amount of torque that I've picked up from the cooler is insane. I'll be ringing Tim tomorrow to see about the smaller pulley for sure - I'm really keen to get it done.
