Yet another update !!
Ok whats up everyone, if you guys been keeping up i recently finished the install of my Rippmod Supercharger kit in my 5SFE Gen3 Camry (blower,shaft,all the hoses piping,eletronics,and all the fuel mods). Im using a Apexi S-AFC II as my piggyback at the moment because i couldnt get the car to run and tune with the HKS Super AFR that Rippmods sent me for the time being untill the blackbox is ready. My brother tuned my Apexi S-AFC to the best of his knowledge and we took it out for a drive, we opened it up full throttle from first gear and damn it picked up to 40mph so fast ! at this speed in first gear the engine was just between 4800 - 5000rpm and then it came.. the car started to stutter and lost the power.. it felt like hitting rev limiter but didnt sound the same. It sounded like the car was stuttering.. not getting enough fuel or too much fuel not sure but we did another compression test today and we got 190 190 190 190. We looked for leaks and found none.. no oil no fuel.
It didnt matter what gear i was in as long as i was going up to 5000rpm at 80 - 100% throttle it would stutter but if i was in neutral or park i could rev it pass 5000rpm. We are pretty sure that the reason we can rev it pass 5000rpm in neutral or park is because the car isnt on any load or that the computer recieves and sends out different settings when the car is moving and when its just neutral. We're sure that it isnt any mechanical problems cause the engine is fine and it can rev pass 5000rpm in neutral and park. Anyways i called up a friend who knows a shop with a dyno, im gonna try get my car tuned asap.. im hoping this shop has a wideband O2 sensor.. its hard to find places like this here in hawaii infact we only have 3dynos on the whole island (atleast only 3 that i know of ehehe). Untill then i can drive around "spirited" lol.. and it still feels really nice being boosted. I didnt get it to blow off yet either but i have a friend who has a vortec charger on his infinity I30 and he would have to hit the rev limiter and keep it there for a few seconds then let off before it blows of so im not too worried about that. Its probably because superchargers stop winding as soon as the engine stops revving so it really gotta build up the pressure before it can blow off while turbos keep spinning without relying on engine rpm to build boost. Anyways the car is doing really good and engine is really good with 190 across the board.. no leaks,no weird idle,no weird smoke just weird sounds now lol.. squeeks and high pitch humming from the pump with tapping from the whole fuel system lol.. not to mention the badass whine of the blower. I wont know the full potential of the car untill i get the sucker fine tuned but untill then its still boosted and still alot faster than it used to be !
