J18 RVP - Growing up, slowly.

I know I added that bit in to see who would go for that or the actual sound advice I gave

lol. i wonder if he did get one. did you jake?

 

[DannyR]

I couldn't stress enough how important that is. I've had 3 supercharged and two have slipped! This current one with it has it and hasn't slipped!

 

[JakeyP]

I haven't changed the crank sprocket because the cambelt has already been done on this engine, but once the supercharger is fitted and running properly I'm going to build a low compression engine built for the boost so no point in doing another cambelt change and crank sprocket of the engine will change in 3-4 months

However the low compression engine will defiantly have it! I looked into it when you said about it, seems like some people do it anyway as slipping alternator belts are a very common fault with f4r and k4j/k4m engines

All this bad luck seems to follow you :S coincidence?

You have a lush car mate...

People say they don't like the angel eyes, but TBH, they don't look too dis-similar to standard xenons and I kinda like em

Hats off to you sir!

Thanks pal... I still want the Xenons back though, I am tempted to rip apart the headlight and destroy the angel eyes, put a side light bulb in and seal it back together... Might look ok then, we will see I have a list of things to do first.... For example, spray roll cage, raise car, fit track wheels, get car mapped, get shorter belt for supercharger, fit 182 manifold... It goes on... So many things waiting to happen, not enough days of until next week =)

your luck really is bad mate "/ the motto to use is do it nice not twice

 

[JakeyP]

I don't really come on here often anymore, so sorry there has been no updates, to be honest no big ones really as I just can't be bothered fiddling in this cold weather... Supercharger still isn't on, it's sitting there in the garage with the Map sensor, injectors, intercooler, pipework etc... Will be on for Fast Show in March if anyone fancy's having a look (me and Mike with the HN15 Pulsar are both boosting at the same time as I just bought him everything to turbo his)

This is what I have done recently
- Flocked Dashboard
- Oil Temp gauge
- Carbon Exhaust Surround
- Carbon Foglight Surrounds
- 182 black insert Xenon's
- Lot's of photo whoring...
