    You stick with your 2.25 exhaust or go 2.5? Curious if 2.25 would be too restrictive for FI and a cam in these engines or if its fine. Maybe steve can shed some light on the subject :p

    I think he's going to stick with the 2.25inch for now and see how it goes before getting a larger exhaust.
    2.5inch probably would help once it really gets going, but we'll see how the 2.25inch goes.

    Anyone know what the name for the flat pulley next to the supercharger pulley is called?? There are two, one small, one big. CAPA sell them, any other places??

    Got a price to replace them just off CAPA, going to see whether it is indeed them making the noise today.

    all this talk bout charging a v6 ve is making me want to try it even more, cant wait for the end results & some good vids of the car in action before i attempt to SC my sidi 3L v6

    one thing i must say is it clearly doesnt seem as simple as capa say it is buy the kit & piggy back & take it to castle hill to install it! LOL never seen one installed as simple as that, actually kuzmans ride is the second one ive seen charged

    anyway again cant wait too see the final results & maybe a final costing for your project so it will help others with this on there minds

    Yet is the key word there! also its odd too why capa tell you it can be done with there simple kit that i dont beleave

    anyway back to the topic, the $$$ u have spend sounds good, just want to confirm so the only parts of the capa kit you are running now is the sealed charger unit, the bracket to mount it & the oil lines/oil bottle stuff like that???

    i really want to try this so might go back to hi torque in qld & ask them about it again & a rough total, i was hoping to maybe not use a sealed vortex charger the guys there didnt recomment them as its sealed & as a life span on km

    Good progress there Kuzman

    You seem to have sorted most bugs and system coming together nicely.

    Believe me turbo is much more difficult and expensive, you have taken the easiest path, its just you are pioneering a few things and that brings its own R&D headaches to you, I think you are doing fine
