How are you flashed? (the Pettit flashes are per VIN token)
Have a map from Hymee and used the Protuner to flash.
Thanks for the help guys.
Will check the plugs and double check everything next week when I have some free time.

Macius, as you did your flash what is your idle rpm set at normally?

If it was set a little low and some LTT built up, maybe its setting off some hunting?

Airflow is airflow?

What does it matter if the 300 g/s of AIR entering your engine come from a supercharger or a turbo?

Brettus is running a modified hymee SC flash for his upgraded greddy turbo. Air is air, timing is timing, it doesn't matter what the source is... I could hook up a shopvac on blow to my intake and it would still be increased airflow

guys----fuel supply question.
Anyone else running the 09 pump besides me? I ask because i am concerned about the FP pressures on track. On the street or even autocrossing and dragracing they probably are fine, but on the road course its different. I dont know if the fp can keep up with the big pulley set up. I am thinking it cant really do it..
As soon as my engine is broken in I think I am going to play with the kenne Bell boost a pump set up. It gives you some control on fuel delivery that we dont have now.
I started a thread on it.
What are yalls thoughts.
Yall quit beating up those little boys on the highways-----hehhehe.
Oh and by the way I have perfected the poly motor mount--anyone interested?

No surprise. It seems that the stock/OEM injection and ignition components are pushed to the the upper limits of their duty cycles with even N/A setups; makes sense that prolonged high speed runs will show the weak links. Were you running the 09 pump at Road Atlanta when the fuel line popped?

MazdaSpeed Front Brace Mounts

I need set of braces to allow the MazdaSpeed front Brace to clear the front of the Pettit blower. Where can I get these?

Yeah that is what it is all about. I'd prefer to say that Brettus started with a base boosted map with his Pro Tuner. I guess the message is that Pro Tuner is a tool for tuning, not a supercharger specific flash, which is sort of where one of the earlier questions was coming from.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hymee.
Yeah - 117 flashes later and the the latest flash bears little resemblance to what I started with .

Just get some spacers cut, and you will also have to get longer bolts, while your at it get stainless instead of the MS Zinc coated(gets ugly and frosted after a while) McMaster Carr is where I sourced all my hardware...
Then mount the bar on the front side of the brace stands,,,,

hey i have a question about an issue i am having with the super. when i am rev up the engine WOT at about 3 to 4 rpm i am hearing a grinding noise idk if it is a metal to metal grinding noise or if it is an air exiting noise but it happens for a quick secound when i do that. just wanted to know if it is normal. also was wondering how to change the compressor oil. should i just syphon it out or is there a drain plug and im just missing it. now i know Cam recomends 6 to 8 oz of 20w50 oil for the super but do you guys recomend something better for it? now i know someone said RP 75w90. what are the thought on this??? just trying to troubleshoot some issues. thank for your help guys!!!

No, not at all.
I have never heard metal to metal noise at all.
Call CAM now.

Cams way is to remove one of the Allen bolts on the bottom front of the S/C.
Do the change Cam's way the first time to remove any break in particles.

I use a small vacuum pump and a short piece of small diameter hose to go in through the oil level check hole.
Make sure the hose is small enough diameter to reach the bottom of the S/C; this is much easier and faster.

Its Rotr8, the sock is a K&N dry charger, its just another layer to clean up the dust and water from getting to the filter, you can get them in pretty much any size on K&Ns website,,,
And yes thats a breather, its my temporary stand in for a catch can, once the catch can is in the breather will sit on top the catch can,,,
