Sorry mate! I refer to the Axial Flow Supercharger thread. It's the forum's biggest thread. I thought EVERYONE had seen it once or twice!

 

Correctomundo...

 

me too you mentioned this again in another thread and i was thinking " bad coils" before i saw it was you. have them check your coils. do a search here for "burnt coils" or "burned coils" and you should be able to find a couple of pics on how to tell by visual inspection if they are bad.

 

the coils are easy to check, you check the 3 leads like you would a transistor. The manual has the readings you should be getting..

In my experience however, bad coils do not limit power in the Upper ranges, rather it's more < 5k. You'd get DANGEROUSLY low power and near stalling under 5k, to the point that you need a mile of free space to pull out in traffic.

 

oops thought it was the other way around thanks guy

 

YW, I could be wrong too, but i messed with the coiles a bit.. ALso, I think i've previously pozsted the readings you should be getting from the coil test.
