Hi,

Does anyone know how to remove the bottle of the rotrex oil reservoir without leaking it everywhere? I can only think of sucking the bottle dry then remove since the system contain more than the bottle could hold and will have some remaining inside the line.

Remove the top hoze, take off the reservoir, put it in a lower position than the rest of the sytem upside down, let the system drain.

Basically you're turning it into a gravity pump.

Any updates on the smaller pulley??

is the oil reservoir designed to leak excess oil of its overfilled, i seem to be leaking oil from the reservoir after driving for 5 minutes, i topped it off prior and now the oil level is at the 'max' line. thanks in advance

I have the KW kit, but same Rotrex blower and reservoir, and am experiencing the same thing. I have siphoned out some SC coolant/oil little by little to the point where I'm right at the minimum level after the car has sat off for a few hours. The Rotrex instructions says to read the coolant level while running the engine between 2k & 3k RPM (iirc) and from what I can tell my level is at about right (half way between min and max) there. Still, I get some leakage from the top of the can occasionally. I think the coolant isn't getting enough cooling in stop & go traffic with it being behind the IC and therefore is steaming up into the reservoir top - but that is just my wild guess. Not sure how many others are experiencing this.

"full" is really about just 1 inch from the bottom of the dipstick, for clarification.

The fluid shouldn't be overflowing at all.

Ppl always wanting more power.

Are y'all truly revving the crap put of your SC'd cars in every gear and needing more already?

I would like to get a little wider power band with JR SC on AT. P&L 4-1 header and cat + P&L overpipe + P&L front pipe and cat + Perrin 2.5" resonated + dyno tune got rid of the torque dip and work beautifully on power but power surge comes at around 5.5k rpm and I'd love to see it kick in around 4 - 4.5k rpm, especially with taller gears on AT. Hope a slightly smaller pulley would help with this.

Update 7/14: I no longer wish for a smaller pulley. Went to Mike at moto-east for the first time to try a different tune - completely transformed the car. More than enough power for my (street and track) needs and excellent power band.

Honestly I just want to break 300whp on 93 octane. Need the pulley for that

So I will be getting this SC in the coming months and have a problem.... Do I get a clutch or an exhaust? Any advocates out there for either direction?

Which kit? CARB Tune or Do-it-yourself tune kit?

I'm on the stock clutch with the CARB Tune Kit, which I believe is a very conservative tune and I have NO clutch problems.

Being in PA you won't need a CARB tune kit. So I would spend my money on a damn good tune and an exhaust. I doubt you'll need a clutch...
@sklimo chime in my friend. You've got the beast! I'm still on the CARB Tune. Me need MOORREE POWER!

[Venator]

Yeah I was going to get the tiy and have it tuned, I was worried about slippage on the stock clutch
