ok dont know the problem with my car but worst case being I need a whole new super charger so and HKS will not cover it. so if I need to come out of pocket should I get another HKS or go pro charger? or say the hell with it and go TT?

 

vortech ...
na f it full rebuild and TT it

 

i take it HKS won't cover it due to testing "non-approved" pullies?

i'm not too familiar with the HKS system, but i'd try to just replace the turbine (or whatever the **** the supercharger main unit is called)... it'd be cheaper

if you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, i'd say snag up an APS TT, put the whole kit on and have it tuned by a Unichip dealer and LEAVE IT STOCK... then save for engine internals and replacement boost solenoids for the APS turbos... once you build the motor, re-do the turbos with the new solenoids and hit 550-600rwhp like it's your job

 

ya know if ya really want to make some power, do what Im doing. Take a 5.6 titan V8 and build a custom TT for it
....that should get ya 300 or so to the wheels ...lol

 

yea dave was talking about doing that titan build and I didnt upgrade my pully.

 

I vote for a solid TT setup, either Greddy (with a bottom end build) or APS. Personally I am not looking to set a record at the track, so 400 to the wheels would be enough, but you can always take Machupo and up the boost on the APS. Just my vote

 

well after my cams I am close to 400rwhp now

 

Damn, well never mind then....how much power are you looking for?

 

I am no expert here but. . . I would think that a SC would be more compatable with the Auto trans.. . Just what I have seen/herd could be wrong.

Your car looks great by the way. How do you like the brakes??

 

love the BBK but its shakes while braking hard kind of like a warped rotor but I know thats not the case,

all this and now my wheels are comming next week after 5 months wait. blue carbon fiber interior comes tomorrow go figure

 

doesn't the hks unit come with a warranty, and why won't they honor it?

 

yea and I am waiting to see what they say

 

any word?

 

nope

 

Regarding your brake shaking... are you sure they are balanced properly in braking power? Make sure they're all installed and aligned properly and are gripping in the right manner and equally side-to-side on each axle.

 

well I am at the point were i am waiting to see if HKS pays my repair they blame install and I pay if that happens I am going GReddy TT on forged internails

 

so you're saying hks is blaming the problem on the install? did you have your kit installed by an hks-certified installer?

 

I dont know at this point but no i didnt use a pro dealer for install

 

keep us posted. hopefully, you won't have to change your cool avatar. does it say anything in the warranty about hks requiring you to use one of their installers as a condition for them to honor their warranty?

 

speaking of Pumped's avitar...

maybe its just my sick mind.. but doesn't it look like the HKS girl is farting?
