Anyone got any trick on tightening the bolts on the supercharger under front and on back? This thing is tight.

freefallin2005 · 01-03-2015, 12:39 PM

I used a round head/swivel allen

yotaman96 · 01-03-2015, 12:47 PM

I cut an allen wrench down a bit shorter. Was still a pain.

Thanks guys ya I was going to cut one and thought I'd ask first. No way to torque it though

He's talking about the ones at the front of the supercharger that go up through the underside.

Thanks got it on and done. Getting tune this week. This is A lil experiment with a big n/a cam to see what it does whith the whipple.

I've seen good numbers with PD blowers and big cams.

im at 479 now with longtubes, no cats, underdrive pulley, cold air, and 112 cam with about 620 lift. i went back to the stock crank pulley. i will find out the numbers friday when we hit the dyno tune. not sure what to expect. I'm running the 4" that came on the whipple as of right now. This is a m6 car

Thats a pretty nice dilemma you've got their bud. If you get to overwhelmed just send her my way. lol

Is there some where you can buy used superchargers? I feel like I can find one for less than 7-10k somewhere.... I feel around 4k is much more fair for a supercharger.

HaHa it wasn't bad. Was just fishing for some tricks. No big deal now that I've made tools for it.

Used is all good but new comes with lots of extras. BAP plugs gaskets all hoses fittings everything. Check the classifieds on here. I've seen some out there.
