I changed to the same spark plugs camelll is using. Maybe I'm just lucky. When the weather heats up and if the engine runs hotter, I'll know if I have a problem then.

that was the pulley i put on to replace the one that flew off into traffic. i cant stand it, next week i am going to go to other part stores to find a heavy duty pulley that wont squeal. the pulley thats on there right now is so much lighter than what used to be on there. theres a 60 day lead time for the pulley from blitz, i cant go 60 days with that squealing pulley

Today was hot and I ran the air conditioner today. S/C was set to OFF. That growling rattling noise was back. One of us needs to figure out what is causing that.

I'm also getting the buzzing/vibe that can sometimes be felt and/or heard from floor, pedal, and/or shifter.
For a while this was happening like clockwork, right at 3k rpm. Now it happens seemingly at random. I've been assuming it's the exhaust heat shield rattling... just the fact that it affects the shifter, because I believe the cables go through the firewall right behind it. Not sure how you A/T drivers trans is set up. After seeing the way the s/c additional vibrations quickly took apart anything I did not put back together well, I'm prepared to have to track down and fix things like this from time to time. I'm also prepared to live with a noise that does not affect performance or get worse--that's just the car talking to you |

the buzzing is below the floorboard... does not happen that often now and for me it does not affect performance in any way, just slightly annoying. To anyone who wonders if the tinkering is worth it: I've had small struggles but when the s/c unit is running as it should and all associated components of intake/exhaust/drivetrain/suspension are in harmony, I'd say you can expect very smooth transfer of power to the wheels at launch (in a straight line anyway), excellent throttle response, effortless rev matching, light steering, nice weight balance--the extra weight in front seems to help handling more than I thought it would. That's why I drive with the thing set on Low all the time, as I find the power easier to modulate around corners that way--it makes my 25-mile commute on curvy semi-country roads over low hills like drifting in a dream through low speed torque land, lol. |

Turbo kits scare me. They all seem custom. You're kinda on your own.
We Blitz owners all share identical setups and can help each other out.

I'll be in medium speed torque land at this weekend's autocross.
KK, have you raced the S/C'd car yet?
