Finally put my ingocnito sleeve on

[rookerrobert]

The 594 belt worked and dont have any belt slip but maybe I need one a little shorter?But anyway it runs great and gave me 2lbs. more boost so now I have 2.85 upper and sleeve running 17lbs. Any thoughts?

Should be fine. If you go with blower spacers or aluminum idler pulleys which are slightly bigger, it will be perfect

 

[ACMAVRO]

I have the incognito lower and stock upper. I was curious what belt to use if I went with a 2.85 also. Keep us posted how it works out.

 

[rookerrobert]

I will I have driven it about 100 miles so far and it runs great.....but I guess I had a brain fart after looking at the pics. I'm not sure if the belt should be a little shorter or longer ...lol

 

[rookerrobert]

I have this too and am really happy with it so far. Put on myself and pinned while I was down there. Pretty straight forward and a good price for the gains you get imo. After the tune I got about 3lbs

I have to check on thanks

 

[rookerrobert]

I have checker on the spacer's and blanket and I do believe thats something I will do to lower temps. and wont need tune after either....very good!!!

 

[rookerrobert]

alright I have the spacer blanket kit ordered....when it gets here and I install it the belt maybe in better position....but from have I have read the super charger is heavy I guess I'll see....but I'm not taking the top off and then the bottom I'm going to take the whole thing out together.

Yep take it off together. I had a friend help me and would suggest the same. The blower is nearly 100 lbs which is difficult leaning over the car

I would also suggest painting the top of the bolts that come with the kit. They will start to rust. They are black oxide or something like that

 

[rookerrobert]

yeah I seen that...and your correct they will

Yeah, your belt is on the lose side, but the spacers will take up some of the slack.
What fuel are your running on 17 lbs. ?
Did you tune it when you put the sleeve on with the 2.85 ?

 

[Mean Cat]

And you will need a buddy to help lift off & put back on the S/C, to do spacers.

No didnt tune it I run 93 octane...it was already tuned when I done the 2.85 upper but being the incognito didnt raise boost but 2lbs. it should be ok

lol... yeah I already have couple folks in mind

Hey man, I not telling you what to do but, with 17 lbs. on 93 is a lot, I suggest you get it tuned for the extra 2 lbs., & run some Boostane or equivalent to keep the STK down if need be.
Especially if your racing it & I assume your at or close to sea level, where it's gonna make more power.

 

[rookerrobert]

yeah I was already thinking about running torco which I can close to me

 

[fubar569]

17lbs on 93 is not something most tuners would do much anymore...if so...they'd go conservative and tell you not to abuse it too hard. All it takes is one tank of bad gas.

I had a 2.85 and then a 2.79 I ran on flex and when I went Jokerz Blower that 2.79 made almost 17.5psi with cat deletes. We backed it down to a 2.95 and made roughly 14.5 which gave me the same power as previous on 93 with a bit more margin. I could probably drop back to the 2.85 but the car is so ignorant as-is.

I have a 2.50 on an E85 kill tune (previously 19.5psi) for when I wanna get really rowdy.

Definitely consider narrowing your choice of 93 and definitely run a booster if you choose to get a little spicy but don't run it all the time. It does foul stuff up.

I just got a tune this week on my RE with the largest, most conservative Hellraiser pulley they make (3.17). With the larger 2.7 blower that puts me at I guess @16 l.bs of boost and even at that level they were adamant about ONLY running 93 and said if your gonna track it for a day or get rowdy put a few gallons of race gas in it. So yes at 17 l.bs and a smaller blower your gonna be making more heat, so heed the advice of others about additives and a tune.

 

[rookerrobert]

let ask you guys this what about just putting maybe running some e-85 along with 93.....instead of any booster

 

[fubar569]

Absolutely not. Unless you are specifically tuned for it.

yeah thats the main reason I have the spacer's and blanket on order to try and cut down as much as I can.....the methanol kit I have if I was to install it it would help but finding someone local to tune is trying find a chicken with teeth
