Procharger Stage 2 Install

Technically that is not true.
It takes "work" to move something... in this case "air"
They take HP to turn, however not off the front of the crank.

Well, true... but I think we can agree that a supercharger will take more horsepower to turn than a turbo.

Hell, yes, that's great news! What did you do for the passenger side intercooler hose until then?

Cranked on the T-bolt. A lot. I don't think I will see WOT full boost for a couple of days anyway. I should have that hose and the new inlet by then.

The grill delete with a black intercooler looks sinister. Just need to find a way to get rid of those damn 5.0 badges now.

OK, zo6psi and Phil, on your manifolds, since you both don't have imrc anymore like mine, where did you route the vacuum line that used to be connected to the line coming from the back of the imrc area that ran to the front of the original intake manifold? The hose that connected to the other (top) connection of the factory manifold block above the throttle body that was wrapped in foam? Picture of the area attached for reference, looking for where you ran those lines. I feel like somethings off on mine.

So I have a regular HO kit and my blower came with a 8 rib pulley :frusty: Since installation the car has not felt like it should at all so I'm hoping this is the cause. The inventory sheet says it's a 6 rib 3.85 pulley but it's clearly an 8 rib and now it has me thinking if it's even a 3.85 pulley since the car is only seeing 4psi. I'll have an update at the end of this week.

Sounds like we got you the correct pulley sent out.
Sorry about that mix up though, our bad.

As long as the belt is tensioned correctly, and your car is stock.
You will make the correct boost level. (And not hitting the speed limiter)

:cheers:

Honestly I ripped all of that out.

I will have to take a pic for you. I have the line going to the brake booster on one end of the vacuum manifold supplied by Procharger. The surge valve in the middle of the manifold and then on the other side of the manifold going into the intake. I capped the other port off on the passenger side of the intake an all other ports on the manifold.

The two valve covers are both routing down over to the inlet of the supercharger. Passenger side has the catch can.

So I'm confused about this here - that whole assembly, it looks like some sort of check valve. Does the top or bottom line go to the brake booster?

And what does the other line go to? Should both be supplied with manifold vacuum? I'd love any help or input anyone has. And Phil what did you do with yours?

If you are talking about the plastic vacuum tree, I have one going to the boost manifold procharger supplied and the other is capped off.

Those two vacuum lines going to the IMRC can be deleted. That only leaves you two actual car connections. One from underneath the brake booster goes back into the sensor on the intake. The brake booster gets plugged into the vacuum manifold PC supplied. The other side of the PC vacuum manifold goes into the intake on the drives side.

Passenger side hole on the intake gets capped. That only leaves you with vacuum line for the surge valve. It goes in one of the side ports on the PC vacuum manifold.

Then there is only the valve covers. They can go into breathers, intake tract (Like PC explains) or even the exhaust (requires a lot more work).

Finally got some WOT pulls up to 7200. We are not there yet on drivability but WOT it is pulling really hard.

Going to continue working with Lund but I also know there is not enough space between the front bumper and the front support for the surge valve hose. Going to look at an alternative.

Proflow or race valve?

Proflow

I didn't have any problems fitting mine, but I test fit it by mocking up the bumper. I used zip ties to hold it tight where I needed it and it's been working as intended.

The placement of the valve and filter is good. The line to it as it runs between the bumper and support is not. It is being pinched between the two. I have readjusted the metal tube part sit it sits as far back as it can but it is still being pinched.

I gotcha. Yeah mine worked out but man it's a closer temperamental fit with self cut-to -fit kit parts. Would be nice if the kits had custom fit parts but you can't have everything in a $6k kit I guess lol

So at full tilt the thing just pulls and pulls. I do not have any surging at the dreaded vacuum into boost area. However I do have some as I am going from 3K to 5K while flooring the throttle. I will work on that. I think it is mechanical either in the surge valve or in the intake not seated itself. Not too hard though.
