HKPRO5's Supercharger Build Thread

[HKPRO5]

Id post up a pic of the pie cut elbow, but i didnt weld it nicely. lol

 

[HKPRO5]

took it out for a spin. only boosting .38 hkpa (6psi) Im loosing 3.5psi somewhere.... I can hear it boost leaking though. I cant hear it unless im under load. =(


Also here is a pic of my back yard JDM pie cut 90ish bend.

you gotta, gotta relocate your front plate. between being tucked under the crash bar and being behind the plate, youre choking that intercooler. you should really shift the plate to the fog light (a la wagonbacker). a lower diversion plate might be good too.

 

[HKPRO5]

sounds good, ill move it asap. also think of a lower DP.

So i went to the kitchen with my silicone coupler and searched for something that would fit. Korean BBQ sauce FTW. screwed in a air fitting and got some RTV. Test went well. Found just one big spot between the SC outlet and SC outlet pipe. (the flat piece, i guess i didnt RTV enough)

hahah...nice! thats some good stuff right there. =P

Awesome

 

[yudkib]

thats the best solution ive seen on these boards, PERIOD. well done sir.

 

[ajkulish]

subin fo sho because i might be doing this.

would the msp tune work fine? and i got a question about some numbers.

what was your 0-60 with the stock crank

and whats your 0-60 now

 

[ajkulish]

just relocate your plate up and take off the frame. i make those tilted license plate frames (or at least i did) and they actually d push air to the ic. just give it space to push to. just move the bracket up as far as you can on the spot of the bumper where its supposed to be placed

 

[HKPRO5]

Yea idk. If i can get a fog cover for just the passenger side I think im going to move the License plate to where Wagon has his.

 

[daonly1around]

looking forward to seeing the end results

 

[HKPRO5]

Trying to get a passenger side fog cover from onlinemazdaparts. Going to make a license plate bracket for the drivers side fog area.

also just got married. Now I can focus on the car again. lol

list of things to do.
1.Seal the outlet of the SC with RTV (leaking boost)
2.Replace front and rear brake pads/rotors 9Maybe upgrade to Mazda6 calipers 06-07)
3.Fix my broke ass exhaust tip and get a new setup (2.5" straight pipe)
4.Replace the Front passenger Speaker (blown)
5.Replace all the little things that I have been wanting to fix

Heres where I put my plate

MSP tune would not work, at least not very well, the car makes boost as soon as you step on the gas since its belt driven
so you would have to buy a piggy back like the ssafc or the ssftc in order to add the extra fuel

Ordered 2 Vband kits, picking up the 2.5" exhaust tubing next week, already have my muffler. Im also going to try something new since im going custom. I have a 2.25"-2.5" Civic high flow cat. (ill try and get some pics tonight) So with this Ill have all the parts here or ordered for the exhaust system. Still waiting for Scratch's Intake manifold so I can port that. Everything is coming along.

Im saving for my honeymoon to Japan now so the Wife said I can only spend $35 a week on the car................. Oh well I can make it work. hahahahahaha

 

[azuelke]

I sure hope this $35 doesn't include gas and other essentials... and what the hell, $35?

 

[HKPRO5]

For car parts.

Gas comes outta my pocket. lol that's a separate allocation. $160 total including the car money.

 

[HKPRO5]

Picked up a TWM shifter from a local member, recieved my Proper+ shift knob

Looks like I'm going to pass on the intake manifold. The one that I got as an extra to bore out was cracked at the end of the runners where to bolts up to the block.

No my focus is on the exhaust. I have all the parts (muffler, v band flanges, high flow cat, mandrel bends) now all I need is the piping and some time to do it.

Subbing! I can't believe I didn't find this earlier. Keep up the great work, mate. I love that video on the first page.
