My cogged ilder pulleys arrived today along with the smaller blower pulley that will push boost to 13 psi!

Crappy photo I found on someone's fb of my engine bay. If you look on the top left part of the manifold you'll see one(used all black hose), and top right close to the firewall you'll see the other. Used clear hose on the outlet side, to see if I catch any residue and so far nothing noticeable. Working extremely well, catching quite a bit esp on the pcv to manifold side.


Actual cans are ADD W1's

Easy drain access, have dip sticks, baffled well(also added small scrubbers into the baffles for extra peace of mind), and are really nicely made in billet aluminum.

Where did you install the brackets? I love the facts that the ADD W1 unit comes with dip sticks and easy access compared to Radium. That being said, I am having hard time finding myself spending $430 for two catch cans (Radium) It does look good though..

Is there anyway you can take a closer shot of the catch cans?
What's the benefit of using scrubbers in the cans?

Awesome,

That pulley good on the r2 tune without fueling?

[mit_peid]

That was what KW told me. That the r2 tune was scaled to be compatible with the smaller pulley without fueling mods [although I think it is getting close to capacity]. I've had some recent issues with my r2 tune and/or the 4-bar MAP sensor that came with it so I probably won't try out the new pulley for quite some time until I build some confidence in my current setup.

What RPM does the smaller pulley spin the blower to?

7,350 RPM at 13psi,

Also, the R2 tune has a 7,350RPM redline and the charger is being spun within a safe range.

I'll try to get some tomorrow. The one on the drivers side is bolted to the rear fender bolt. I self tapped another screw for added stability (not ideal) and the 2nd is another L bracket in between the spacer and threaded part of the rotrex res mounting location.

Great, thanks again

@OmarGC I ordered my ADD W1 cans (in red) from ebay ($80 a piece) so let's see how they will perform since it's a baffled can, could you please tell me why you still wanted to use scrubbers in them?

@glamcem - Did you get the KW tune or are you going to see Bob or get one of the Delicious Tune?

I got my kit without tune or Ecutek and I am considering the alternatives at the moment

Well @nelsmar did mine and I'm very pleased. Granted he is semi local to me so I was able to go do dyno final tweak but almost all was remote tune. Just giving options and my 2 cents.

may the schwartz be with you....

Well, yesterday I was finally about to get my car started with the kit and tuned but this is how it ends very rapidly. My tuner @LachutePerformance called me at 2PM to tell me he started the car and heard a verrrryyyy weird noise from the mecanic part of the Rotrex. So I did the 1h30 trip right away to see what's going on. Everything was made by the book. The oil was correclty circulating. And then oil started to spit from the backing plate. When I watched there were Oil on my skidplate. Something was clearly not going right so I removed the strap and took the car back home. That's what I discovered...





I will post a video of the sound later. Hope this is warrantied...

EDIT: Here is the video.

I'd recommend @jamesm. This guy knows his stuff. That's all I'm gonna say.
