Is that whine at low rpm normal?

[AmIdYfReAk]

Yeah, it will calm down a little when the gears are seated in the charger..

but due to the intake pulses, they will always be present on the motor..

I've never liked prochargers.

[AmIdYfReAk]

btw, lets have some Loaded drive by's, its the only time those things sound decent.

[andyman]

lol I didn't get the kit for 'sound'... after it gets tuned I'll be making more videos but for now it's jst easy going driving.

[seremtan]

this makes it faster? more annoying? more pimped?

[andyman]

faster/pimped

It's a deceiving pic!

Had a close call today, I was doing a small road test and at a stop light smoke starts coming out of the engine and i see the water temp rising and rising im like OH SHIT TURN GREEN.... pulled into a lot and there was coolant all over the mainfold, turns out the hose band clamp on the top of the motor wasn't tightened down (my fault, oops) so I pushed the hose back on and tightened it up, walked a few blocks to get some water and poured it in. That worked fine, but the temps were still getting up into the 210's and that worried me since I hadn't seen it ever get that high and just wasn't used to it. A quick tune parameter change of the fan operating points and it was all good. Temps back to the 180's and below. Only thing that sucks is that coolant got on the belts and now they squeak, I figure that will eventually go away.

Do you know how much hp Procharger has specified for your current setup?

Hard to say but after it's tuned and run on the dyno I'll post the numbers. I'm guessing it will be mid 400's when it's all done.

[Whiskey 7]

good work tho!

Got to agree well put together.

Nice pics & vid andyman but I have to asj, you put this together in a carpark? I assume outside of where you live or a mates place

Just that I think you'd make one hell of a neighbor

lol I did it in the apartment complex parking lot. Today I put in the boost gauge and relocated the water temp gauge to a gauge pillar that i've had for about two years The people here are either tired of me revving it or..... or not. Nobody bothers me though.

[Tsakali]

no really, warrup with the blue tint on the pictures?

[andyman]

Now that i looked in the camera menu, the white balance was set to 'tungsten' or some shit. I'll take new pics.

[andyman]

Ok here's better pictures. you can see how dirty the car is too

And yes I know it's a 3 gauge pod with two gauges... i don't want to put in the fuel pressure gauge just yet because I don't have the adapters.

Awesome setup there fella. But I cant help but look at that air filter, its exposed, and I thought that hot engine air aint great for the performance if the air filter catches it. Slugs it a bit

EDIT: Or was it just my Focus being a cunt-wad after me trying to chav it up with a £50 air cone?

True, but it's not even that bad. Plus the system has an air2air intercooler so it's all good. I should snap a pic of that...




ok i really like this camera because it makes the car look cleaner than it is. god for bid i wash and wax it...

[Dark Metal]

I bet that car goes real fast in straight lines.

[andyman]

It turns fast too... I love cloverleaf on/off ramps
