My original KW OTS tune suffered from what felt like significant parasitic loss from the supercharger, but honesty the subsequent tunes I received from KW (I believe there were 2 that I received after the original tune that required a different MAP sensor) were really smooth and were N/A-like even below 2500RPM.

What are you using as a logger? OP2 and BRZ edit show 86% and OFT shows 100% I think.

@zERoTu, clearly there is something wrong. Are you sure you don't have a boost leak somewhere? Does the car feel like it's even boosting? Check your email inbox.

I check all the lines. Nothing is loose. 1st gear and 2 gear pulls great. 3rd and 4th gear pull are taking forever for the rpms to climb.

After three days of working on the car, I have the kit installed. I took my time but had multiple things to work around and install.

I installed my ROBISPEC radiator, hmm it had quite a few compromises in terms of fit, DAMN tight all around but it fits. I had to make a gasket for the oil sandwich as the bottom of it had a groove for what looked to be a gasket but none was there. I used a high temp gasket maker and had to buy 3' more oil line since the way I had to run lines to avoid the supercharger needed more.

Then I installed a Raceseng cam plate, changed my oil and radiator fluid.

Then I installed the supercharger which went pretty fast if I hadn't wasted so much time on the above radiator.

Now I have to deal with my last problem. Ecutek updated but seems to either have corrupted or lost my license file. I sent a note off to Delicious Tuning as I can do nothing until that gets sorted to even start the car to look for leaks and check the rotrex oil.

Cool! Did you take any pics?

Squishy · 07-07-2014, 02:31 AM

Yes, Yes I did.
This is the final install minus bumper until I get to run it and check for boost leaks.

Where is the rotrex oil resovoir at?

Squishy · 07-07-2014, 09:35 AM

The location is back near the battery.

Squishy · 07-07-2014, 09:47 AM

Nevermind figured out the issue with the license - had to apply the license file. Man I do not really like this ecutek thing. Oh well just gotta get this done.

It gets easier, trust me I didn't get it when I first used it either.
