No power increase from sc14.
I've installed a sc14 on my vr calias. I was in a bit of a rush and I started it up without a waste gate. I blew out the rocker cover gaskets. I changed them and it seems like there's no power increase from the charger at all.
It seems to be leaking oil form the dip stick. But I'm not 100% sure. The oil light always comes in under boost.
Has any one had any problems like this under boost?
And what can I do to fix it??

sounds like your boost is going into your crankcase your going to have to change its setup likey cause will be the hose on TB

Which hose? The vacum hose. I used the map senser vac line to run the waste gate. I didn't touch any hoses on the tb.

there is a 12mm or bigger hose from a barb under the TB and it goes down onto the manifold base block the TB end and leave the hose on the manifold open

You have had it ECU tuned, right?

really depends on your setup but a tune is a defenite to get any real benefit is it the stock pulley?
I haven't tuned it as of yet. Waiting till I get my comp extractors b4 I do that. I will post pics tomorrow.
And pulley is stock. Will be upgrading later though

Mate I'm definately no expert on superchargers or turbos but I'm going to venture a guess as to why its not giving that much extra go.
The ECU has no idea as to how to act with all that extra air. The fact that it is running at all, is because the ECU is trying to compensate and chucking extra fuel in to match. But still it won't be perfect.
There are many variables with the ECU, and timing and fuel delivery are some critical areas that need to be addressed when shoving extra air down your engines neck.
I'm willing to bet that as soon as you get it tuned, it will feel 100% better.
To be honest I wouldn't even be running it without the tune, except to get it to the tuner, and only if its running semi-decently, with no hint of pinging.
If I'm wrong than someone with more knowledge should feel free to correct me.

2psi wont hurt anything may just spit error codes for map sensor anything more needs a 2bar map sensor and injectors plus a tune.yes you can just fit a rising rate reg with say a 2:1 ratio and feed in more boost but its dodgy to say the least and will only keep it alive for so long with stock spark advance and cost you power in the end from being rich

Why do people persist with these superchargers? Not trolling just genuinely curious. They are a cheap nasty thing. If your only going to putting in 2 psi what is the point?

you can get them upto 12-14psi but generally they start desintergrating and just get too hot.iblown went fast with one but he said you could cook eggs on the inlet manifold like it was a BBQ LOL.the best place for them is the bin and fit a turbo in its place and go way better at lower boost levels
