Finally boosted!

[JBIZZ]

Bought saplaymate's Rotrex kit.

As of right now the boost is set low. I am waiting to install some gauges before fine tuning it. I paid a buddy $350 to install and reprogram the computer. I am planning on getting a custom 3-stage ceramic clutch made & possibly a stoker kit from Japan & LSD.

I am running the 1zz throttle body & was advised to get a magnetic actuator for it from a Celica to offset response delay.

I blew the stock belt 1st time driving it & still need different spark plugs.

nice

i thought he was offering the lotus spark plugs with the kit?

you plan on putting that thing on the dyno with some AFR readings?

[JBIZZ]

Lotus fuel injectors I think came with it.

Eventually I would like to get it dynod.

The thing is a blast to drive.

[JBIZZ]

Thanks. Yeah, It has the smallest pulley on it, so the blow of valve is almost always going, but right now boost is set low. I think I need a LSD before raising the boost more.

Thats a kit that isnt in production any more right?

[turboecho2005]

Even if this kit was still in production I cannot see anyone in their right mind purchasing one. The kit the op bought had to have some modifications to work and the other kit that another member purchased still has not been put on. Customer support is non existent and the person the other member purchased the kit on had disappeared. PE FTL. Their kit may or may not be better than the blitz but at least blitz will answer the phone, call you back and answer emails.

This is one of the most outragous things i've heard... did you buy your blitz because you could get tech support???

There is nothing wrong with the PE kit infact i bet it will produce better numbers then the blitz. Its not like its a noname supercharger he has. The supercharger is made by a company called rotrex. Its supercharger will produce more top end power and will generate compressed air with a lower tempature. Plus it won't choke at the higher rpms like the blitz will when you start running some serious boost.

BTW my goal is to twincharge my engines with a couple of rotrex superchargers.

Good luck JBIZZ. i look forward to seeing a dyno sheet.

i hope it produces the numbers it was claiming; unlike chino charles's situation. lmao.

my top end power is more than fine thanks to my exhaust set up.

[JBIZZ]

Thanks for the interest everyone. I'll try to post some pics this weekend.

[PETERPOOP]

i want driving videos! screw pictures. there is already a video of it idling on youtube.

[JBIZZ]

[TheRealEnth]

yes yes

For clarification, the reason my car isn't putting down the numbers ZPI claimed is because I have a bad tune, which Peterpoop knows but conveniently omits every time he brings my build up. :rolleyes:

Congrats on your supercharger! Daring to be different. I dig it. :thumbsup:

[JBIZZ]

Sure thing. Its in the shop getting gauges installed & further tuning done. I will be more than happy to bring it down sometime.

[TheRealEnth]

omg you better tell me about this so i can come

[frownonfun]

hey wanna drive to dallas and help me with mine? kidding. what problems did you run into while installing if any? and what kind of injectors did the kit come with? the specs on them i mean. my kit came with none so i'm just wondering what kind i should source.

and yes PE sucks. that's fact.
