Thanks for the help! does anyone have experience with the high boost pulleys on 93 octane? or is ethanol pretty much required for it ...

When we tightened it a little more it made an extremely loud wining noise at idle

Just ordered a C38 kit from Moto-East and I am extremely excited. They will also be doing the tune once I complete the install.

The 21mm rule that they have in the manual didn't work for my second belt. It was wayyy too loose. I went by my friends "half a belt twist rule" and it worked fine. Just tightened a tad bit more and then all chatter disappeared. If I could remember, I believe I'm at 14 or 15mm from the bottom of the bolt head tensioner to the supercharger bracket. Hopefully this helps a few.

people braking belts... please read this. ^^^ I've tracked this kit numerous weekends with 10+ 20 minute sessions. I've only broken ONE belt and that was using the "21mm" rule which you cannot go by. Once the belt is stretched you can no longer use that rule because the bottom of the bolt head will need to be less than 21mm..

this kit is super reliable and I absolutely love it. like I said I've broken the belt once, but it was replaced under warranty.

Does anybody have any better pictures of the oil line routing and oil filter mount location? I'm a bit stumped and cant think at the moment, maybe because its 3am and I've been at the car for far to long now lol.

I'll check back here sometime in the morning so I can finish the install and if not hopefully taking a break will help.

Alright guys I need some quick help. Finished install, flashed the tune, primed the rotrex unit and started the car.

I definitely over filled the oil for the rotrex but I'm also "leaking out of the top of the canister, cant tell if it is just venting out due to overfilling or if I have a leak. I've checked and tightened everything again but still getting it so that is why I'm thinking venting out. Any thoughts?

How are the oil lines routed? A picture would help

[mscamp02]

Oil lines are routed exactly as in the directions and not sure why but my phone isn't resizing pic

Could be the fitting on the canister isn't tightened down right? If you've over filled I'd try to drain some out of the reservoir...... Or the filter is on backwards?

[mscamp02]

Got it sorted out.

I need to quite jumping the gun and posting on here without thinking things through.

I decided to take the top line off to just re install and noticed the bottom copper washer was only partially marked by the banjo showing that it wasn't sitting properly. I think I had just a bit of my hose in the way between the fitting and the canister allowing a small gap. I reinstalled and made sure there was no hose in the way and now I'm golden.

Nice! Make sure to check the belt tension and then go have some fun

[mscamp02]

Ended up at 19mm by the gates app. Just need to button up the bumper and I'm good.

Oh and Mike at moto east gave me the tune, at idle it's great so im hoping for not to much needing to get reworked
