I’m curious as to why you’re trying to slow the transition to boost.Wasn’t able to use the Subaru orifice because it was too small to constrain without worrying about the engine ingesting it. I ended up with this guy:
The .040” hole is almost 3x the one that comes with the EB kit. It makes for a nice transition. Still easy to get into boost, but not as quick to hop out.
It’s not an issue with the transition TO boost so much as out of it. Without the pill in there it’s a little bit too easy for the car to slip out of boost at partial throttle. It gave me problems a couple of times when all of a sudden the power would drop off and I would have to reengage. You can get partial boost on the way up, but not so much on the way back down. I don’t necessarily want to be at full throttle all the time to keep boost going on highway merging situations.
Yeah, really sharp razor blade and just cut down the groove, think of like cutting cardboard, you'll run the blade through the groove like 2-3x to cut all the way through. Should take more than a few minutes though, just make sure you don't try and cut and then think you can just pull the ribs away from the belt and it will only rip those 2 ribs off.
I bought the JLT do it yourself kit.
You may want to check for false knock my can was mounted like that and was contacting the cover. It was pulling timing out big time on shifts. You could see black spot on the coil cover where it was touching.I bought the JLT do it yourself kit.
2300 blower, and it only comes with one size supposedly.
Yes this is on the 3" pulley. And yeah, the radium billet reservoir is super nice, I couldn't stand the look of the stock plastic unit
that seems like a lot of boost for the basic pulley that comes with the kit, Do you have stock headers/cats still? Normally those cause more exhaust restriction which can lead to higher manifold pressures, but 14psi still seems like more than what you should be seeing with the included pulley on the 2300 kit
Yeah it seems very high, the kit specifies totally 100% stock car should see 11psi max. Wonder if my gauge is off.
Is it a mechanical gauge? If so, they are sensitive to bumps, drops, and NVH, it can throw off the internals and cause it to read wrong. Thats why I prefer electric ones, they self calibrate to ambient pressure every start up. If yours is electric maybe the sensor got damaged, some gauges include little filters you can add to the boost hose to prevent debris and small particulates from getting into the sensor
