I looked it over & I think I can just remove the s/c, put the idler pulley back, and run off of the stock belt. If I don't touch anything else, I should be able to use the s/c tune. I mean, it'll...

Bypassing the Rotrex

My JRSC is sick, but I still need to get to work. Is there a way I can bypass it so it won't spin? I don't want to cause even more damage.

Thanks
-Mark

I can vouch for the vs BSPT vs NPT thing. I originally threaded a 1/8" NPT fitting in there, started the engine, and sprayed oil all over the place. Lost probably a half-quart before I shut it down.

I think it's backwards. The bypass valve on the JRSC opens when there's a vacuum pull on the diaphragm, to prevent compressor surge on closed throttle. The one shown in the link looks like it opens...

Could you use a nitrous plate at the throttle body and instead of nitrous and fuel, use water/meth and compressed air? Seems like that would atomize the water really well.

I just don't want anyone to know I have it. I'd like it to be 100% hidden if at all possible. Windshields, mirror and visor mounts still leave it exposed.

I put an obd extension cable in, wired it to a fused +12V so it's only on when the car is on, and added a ferrite filter around the wires. Haven't thrown a code since.

Won't using pure distilled water as opposed to a water/meth mix give you some of the same benefits without affecting the tune? Water's cheap too.

Has anybody looked into making your own ethanol? Same process as moonshine, and I think you can get a permit for "alternative fuels" to stay legit. Might be a lot of work for not much fuel, though.
