One step closer to solving the Procharger problem...

RE: One step closer to solving the Procharger problem...
Yeah, I've made a few modifications myself.
If i was smart, i would have logged my ACTs before to see what it looked like compared to teh new setup (when it is finished.) I'm curious if it made a difference although I imagine it must have.
That would be great if you could get measurements. It would let me know how far off I am and it may open up some more options for me.
Where is your BOV / bypass by the way? I didn't see it being recirculated under the inlet side so I'm assuming you have it hidden somewhere.

If you're talking about mine, it's not all that, trust me but thanks just the same
Sam, you may find something HERE that may work for ya.

Thanx for the link. I'll check that out.

Looking at the link... the 90 degree elbow may work with some trimming. I'll have to take precise measurements and then see what they have to offer.

I'm willing to try anything, and that looks like the best option so far.
I just wish I knew why ATI decided to have an intake just inches above a header. Surely tehy must have known that it was a bad idea. Hell, if they even slightly altered it to set it up like mine is now, it would have been better. Not only that but I imagine it would have been even easier for them. The filter itself is cheaper and they also would avoid having to ship the extra rubber tubing and the extra metal coupler. So the end result is they save money and the consumer gets a better design... But I'm sure they have their reasons.

As most of you know (at least those of you who have seen a Procharger) there's a design flaw in the intake that I absolutely hate. The filter / intake sits directly over the driver's side headers and valve covers. As you can imagine, they are drawing in some serious heat in that location. So I have been trying to figure out a way to work around that issue but haven't had much luck up until now.
wrap your headers, 40% less heat in engine bay.
A can of water wetter will dop you another 6-10degrees
what is your tps set at?

I thought about wrapping the headers, but I've heard too much bad stuff about it and ended up changing my mind at the last minute. Thought about adding water wetter as well but never got around to it (story of my life.)
TPS has always been right on the money. I have a tweecer RT so I monitor and log it all the time.

what specific voltage is your tps set at, ? and what do you read WOT.?, key on e ng off
