It's a full time job keeping his SN95 running:

Funny.

day 3 will be spent doing some or all of the following:

1] building fuel lines
2] finishing the heat exchanger plumbing
3] connecting the vacuum lines
4] building the frankentensioner [yes, that is a thing]
5] installing the drive belt
6] connecting the new engine coolant lines
7] wiring gauges
8] installing the wide band
9] modifying the fuel pump assembly for the 405 lph
10] losing my ****ing mind

edit

The fuel fittings I need had to be ordered and won't be here until Thursday. Driving around Baton Rouge in the rain sucks ass but I was able to find suitable brake booster to supercharger vacuum hose that won't collapse. 2000 psi/28inhg capable oil system hose with spirally wound wire lol

Road tuning!



Shredded the belt!




Pulley misalignment due to a machining error by the vendor.


New pulley properly installed.

New shoes

It was a great view but she eventually opted to remove the triple gauge setup so she could see the road better.

I revisited this thread to fix some of the pictures.

**blows the dust off of this thread**

Looks like a new alternator is in order. Took the opportunity to upgrade a little and order a powder coated Denso alternator. It comes already modified to clear the hood and also has an updated rear bracket that works with aftermarket fuel rails. Yeah, like i needed an excuse to modify something else.



How about a couple of quick videos for fun?

I need to knock the dust off of this nasty thing:

 

[RAU03MACH]

nothing like supercharger

 

[white95]

nothing like supercharger

I’d like to develop it further but I’d rather not risk the bottom end.

 

[RAU03MACH]

ya shit can happen

 

[white95]

I didn’t take any pictures of the R&R process but it went like this:

1) Remove belt

2) Remove center idler

3) Realize you don’t have a 5mm
Allen socket so you have to run to Vatozone



4) Remove alternator/idler bracket

5) Remove the old alternator and install the new one

6) Reverse process



7) Suspect a belt/pulley misalignment

8) Freak out

9) Put it together anyway

10) Realize the belt alignment is perfect

11) Realize the stud is larger and drill out the lug.

12) Finish, start it up and then realize it’s about to run the fuck out of gas

Fin

“8) Freak out” is my favorite step!
