Re: Question for those with superchargers
Wow! Thanks for all the great info guys (and gal). I really appreciate it.
SVXFiles, the link to the calculation page is extremely helpful. I have been reviewing it all morning long and I think I have a better grasp of how all this comes together better. Also the pics for the pump install are very helpful, Thanks! Cozycat, I appreciate all the info and links. I'll order those parts soon and I really like your idea of 2 sensors rather than buying a single dual. That might be good to do and save me quite a bit. Tapani, I think it was you that posted a pic of the gauges in the ashtray. I thought these would be too big to both fit. Did you have any issues with that? If I could get both gauges to fit there, that would be perfect! After reading through this I think it'd be a good idea to go ahead and get it before I do any further 'enhancements' Oh, and before I forget, I thought I'd give you a little more info on this set up. I recently got a new engine for the SVX. Icingdeath had built an engine with forged pistons, lowered compression, etc for a turbo setup he was doing. Here's a link to the thread if you'd like to check it out: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...ht=turbo+setup He ended up selling the engine to me and it is amazing! He did a fantastic job on the build and its running perfectly. As of now, its got approximately 81 miles on it lol. With that in mind, I am hoping that going up to the 12psi pulley won't be an issue. However, I still think it'd be a good idea to get the wide-band sensor before I do that just to make sure everything is kosher.

On the other hand that makes it even more important to make sure everything is as it should - you do want to protect the expensive engine ! On the gauges - no issues really. It is a very tight fit, but two 2" gauges in a custom bracket made from 2mm aluminum is not impossible. The gauges must be press fit to the aluminum.... there's no space for the brackets which are ment to fix them in place from behind. I did the fit with the covering fabric.... Unfortunately I cound not find a photo from behind. Good luck ! /T |

Thanks for the info on the gauges. I'll look to see if there is a local shop around here that might be able to assist me with that too. If I could get them to fit in there it might be worth it to have done.

Re: Question for those with superchargers
Tom/Marisa,
Can either of you clarify which pump I should get for the SVX? Tom mentioned a 225 but the one Marisa sent a link for is a 255, so I just wanted to make sure I got the correct one. Thanks Ray

Re: Question for those with superchargers
No worries, I just wanted to make sure. Thanks again for the help. I'm going to try and get those parts ordered here in the next few days.

Re: Question for those with superchargers
If it easies your mind about accidentally ordering incorrectly, I don't think walbro has a 225 liters per hour (LPH) version - just 190, 255, 400, and 450. (the 450 LPH says its made for flex fuel/e85 which is neat)
Also there are deatsch works fuel pumps and if you are ever curious to clean your injectors, they can do that too. I used and recommend Gordon @ Witchhunter - I purchased stock STI side feed injectors from him, cleaned and flow matched (it's ideal for tuning to know what your injectors actually flow at, not just what they are "supposed to be").

Re: Question for those with superchargers
Lol Don't mind her, she just likes to be thorough. I do appreciate the info though. I didn't realize the # referred to liters per hour. Good to know.
I also agree, it would be nice to know if these injectors really can pump out as much as they are supposed to!

Re: Question for those with superchargers
hi!
I'm just selfish, I like to document my thoughts because I WILL forget it all once I type it all out... and even when i don't type it out.

Re: Question for those with superchargers
And you like to write in colors that are virtually invisible to those that are colorblind ...you and Tom both. What's up with that?
