2004 VY S Manual Sedan!

[DevilDRake]

Alright guys it's finally in! Two and half days later, many swearing, custom mounting, getting new hoses etc it's all fitted! Fitted up the water reservoir, fillted it up then it bloody leaked didn't it.. Out it came and fixed it all up.

Whoever wants to fit one of these up, they're pretty straight forward IF you knew where everything went - I did not. Had to ring Raptor a few times to get the correct fitment and which way the cooling system is done as there is no instructions -Tim is more than helpful and the items i needed to get correctly he said he will reinburse me so definitely good to deal with.

Went for a drive and wouldn't idle, boosted terrible etc. After a good 80-100klm drive I can say that has all changed and definitely has more power - Still think it's missing a fair bit due to the really easy tune, but hits 11PSI @ 5900RPM.

Big thanks to my brother for helping with the cooling side of things, and thanks to my mate Matt for helping me put some of it together.

Anyway pictures below, not in any particular order - shows how the cooling hoses were mounted, the radiator + reservoir + the rest of the charger setup.

Looks like you had a busy day there.

Bit of a mission for sure but definitely there now.

Enjoy the easiest way to get boost that exists, apart from buying a car already with a blower lol

Haha you're not wrong, thats 2 and 1/2 days worth... But glad it's all done now.

Yeah for sure sorry for all the annoying calls, hopefully tuner comes back to you with a reply. Wouldn't mind the slight rev-hunt being fixed.

For anyone interested, 150klms later running in the charger, still very healthy and definitely makes more power than when I first put it on. It powers like a turbo almost, and suprising i hit 11PSI at top of the gears but i guess the billet impeller helps there.

First gear - traction doesn't exist, it's ridiculous lol - and the supercharge whine is amazing. Definitely not quiet.

You'll be smiling when you race some bugger that's in an XR6 & he'll be wondering what happened lol

You should do an in car video for us. Just working through the gears, with a bit of poke of course.

Haha dude it's easily got more power up top than a SS - but it's like an on/off switch, sorta acts like a turbo but gradly builds the Boost

Not sure how I can do that, I don't have a recorder or go pro . Can't record on phone being a manual either lol.

You have a charger yourself you'd know how they go


Few more updates:

Coil pack was rubbing on bonnet, bought some washers and spaced it down about 1cm more - Hopefully fixed the issue but will find out as it only rubs when the engine is moving I presume.





Moved the boost guage sender to behind the strut tower and fixed up all the vac hoses so there's absolutely no kinks.



Also added coolant into the cooling reservoir - it's leaking out of the reservoir as i accidently overfilled it a bit and my car parks on a hill but will be an easy fix. - GREEEEN



Need to get this checked though, my guage worked perfectly until this morning and it wouldn't register at all, just comes up with dashes as if it wasn't connected. I think I might of got a faulty sender, since it only works sometimes. I know it's the guage because there's no issue with boost.

Also will get in touch with Tim tomorrow when he's back on deck, my computer was better but now it can't really idle again - if i stab the throttle as the revs drop it'll stall half the time. Also if i release the throttle in gear, it'll surge a bit as the revs go down. Not a massive surge but enough you can definitely feel it.

disconnect the neg terminal for 5 min or so then reconnect it and start the car and let the ECU relearn and see if it runs any better.

 

[DevilDRake]

Nah no way, took like 100kms until it had its proper power lol, after taking off the battery it runs like **** lol

lol really needs a dyno tune then over mail order.
