Innovate (Sprintex) Supercharger Owners Topic

[Pekingduck]

Thank guys on the head up with oil in the charger. I check after my oil change and it was running low, I was surprise how much the charger took.

you can make it on 93 octane with a good tune.

Yes but the OEM sensor cannot read richer than 12

I'm meaning non-intercooled, if so that's not bad. Cool.

I managed 265 on a dyno dynamics with the base kit. No ic or anything. Check my build thread

On my OFT it seems like it pegs the lowest at 11.25. I haven't tried the torque app or Ecuek logging. So my OFT is lying?

Why on earth would you run compressed air into an engine with this much internal compression, without an intercooler? Honestly if you can't afford the intercooler maybe you should re-evaluate your goals.

Take a look at the first post in this thread, without an intercooler I doubt you'll see much past 230. Even that might be ambitious.

Goose, your build was a unicorn. No one has been able to match those numbers with the same setup.

accepted and admitted. but i figure someone would atleast be able to break 250 on 93 with the stock pulley.

I don't think this is true. I saw <12 readings all the time on my previous tune. In fact, I just looked at a set of my logs from the last tune, and the lowest AFR in the log was 11.37. So, I'm pretty sure the OEM sensor can read richer than 12.

I don't know about the other guy but the reason I don't want to: removing the fucking bumper. Cheap thin plastic tabs that break or bend and cause the bumper to sag. I'm avoiding removing the bumper at all costs.

I seriously don't want to deal with that shit on this car.

I've had mine off several times and it isn't an issue so don't be put off as it ain't that hard.

Yeah, I was reluctant at first to take my front bumper off, but so far I have done it 4 times already and I'm doing it again today to try and fabricate a shroud for my oil cooler. Removing the bumper isn't difficult and the plastic isn't really that weak either. If you break a clip or two then you can buy some replacements at your local auto store for cheap.

Think of it as taking off and putting on a 32 button dress shirt. Not difficult, just really annoying.

So all the guys who have bumper sagging/gap problems.. Do you think they were too hasty in taking the bumper off? Maybe they weren't careful enough or something? Serious question. I really do want the intercooler.

If you don't want to remove the bumper to install the innercooler you don't have to - you can get to the area fine going through the bottom - just remove the plastic liner (around 8 pop rivets and 3 bolts) then the hard plastic piece (3 bolts) you have room to install the innercooler this way - its how I installed it, without unmounting the bumper itself.
