Have you tried reinstalling the supercharger system?

Have you tried replacing your boost gauge?

PM me some datalogs, doing the exact same thing.

+1. AEM has a software for data logging gauge. Maybe cross reference with the Ecutek log?

Thanks for the replies!

I'll have to get some logging for it again since I have no idea which logs are which anymore.

The gauge is fine. Whenever the gauge shows low boost, the car feels stock. When it shows good boost, the car is gobs more powerful. So, this tells me that the boost gauge is working properly enough. Otherwise, I'd feel no difference in power between when it's reading low boost and when it is reading high boost. I would have blamed the boost gauge right away.

Yes. I did reinstall it actually. No dice

Sounds like something else is going on. Idle vacuum should be the same, regardless of anything else. If idle vacuum is different, something's going on.

Go do what you were doing in the video, and log it, and then send that to me.

I'll try to replicate it and log it tomorrow. It hasn't acted up for the last 4 drives over a period of a few days.

4 idle logs generated with a few revs in them. I was able to reproduce the issue exactly as in the video.

PM sent.

Thanks!

I ordered the 30mm upgrade 4 months ago...

Every time I call they tell me they will get stock in soon!

Funny thing is this might be the longest I have gone without snapping a belt.

Hey guys! I picked up some Innovate gauges the last few days and had a few questions... I got the Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, and AFR gauges. Where can i tap into for each of these sensors? If i recall (ive been away from my car for a few months) i should be able to tap into one of the ports in my catless JDL header for the AFR? For oil press/temp do i need an oil cooler with a sandwich plate with those ports? or is there somewhere else i can run them to? Thanks for any help

30 mm belt is awesome!

Helios · 03-07-2018, 08:53 AM

I just ordered the upgraded 30MM belt system. Does it change the sound any? No retune required?

Super Dave · 03-08-2018, 05:52 PM

alright ill try asking again. I'm trying to gauge my options here, I need to figure out a solution to where to run my oil temp and pressure gauge sensors. Ive only heard bad things about the kraftwerks oil sandwich plate so id rather avoid that. should I just run the sensors to the block? or is there another sandwich plate I can use?

I asked this question to kraftwerks and to no surprise I got "Our sandwich adapter can be found here: http://skunk2.com/brz-frs-oil-filter...ooler-kit.html. As far as leaking, we have not had any issues with that."
