I would be doing a full AC recharge and would need the car to be running in order to spin the compressor, so I can't just unbolt the supercharger and leave it floating.

you don't have to have the high side port to properly charge the system. you can do it all from the low side. but that also depends on if you are using and a/c machine. or just cans from the parts store or trying to use a gauge set to add.

I'm in the middle of the process now and I just removed the rearward bolt and loosened the two front-facing AC compressor bolts to inch the compressor out for enough clearance for the high side coupler.

I wanted to have access to the high side port to apply a vacuum to the entire system. I'll just bolt the AC compressor back into place and use the low side port for the actual recharge after applying vacuum.

Thank you for the info.

EDIT:

AC successfully recharged, if I need to top off in the future then the low side port should be sufficient.

Has anyone added a larger coolant tank to the intercooler system? Think it would have enough affect to make it worth the work?

It would not or Edelbrock would have done so. Volume of coolant is adequate for the intercooler. Rate of heat rejection is actually higher if temperature is higher. A larger cooling radiator would be the answer if coolant volume were to be insufficient.

One thing Edelbrock did change is the capacity of the surge tank. V1 was too small and allowed air to be re-introduced back into the system.

V2 looks to be at least 3 - 4 times larger based on the pics. Maybe someone that gets a V2 tank can confirm its volume. I know that V1 was about 1 ounce.

Are they replacing v1 tanks for v1 purchasers ?

The one on the left is the newer unit?

That you would have to ask Edelbrock but I wouldn't count on it.

The larger of the two is the new one. V1 is the skinny one that I would suspect most people have.

[B T]

yeah, mines over a year old, so it's the skinny style, has anyone called about ordering the new tank version alone?

[B T]

Just talked to Edelbrock, there's no replacement reservoir in the works outside of what we already have.

[Alysa]

As me as an owner please! Installed mine a few weeks ago

Has anyone tried installing one of these with the Edelbrock intake yet?

Anybody running a carbon vented hood with their EBSC kit? Specifically the Seibon TS style ones?

I ordered one (ETA 6-10 weeks) and just realized, since it has vents, it drops down a little inside the hood, I know with the stock hood clearance is real tight, so tight that we had to remove the bottom insulation during the install.

I'm crossing my fingers this hood fits with the SC or else I'm screwed.

Got any pics of the underside of that hood? I have a feeling there's a chance that the "flat" section in the center just may clear it.
