Supercharger Install Ep. 6.5 - Problems + Where the F*** Has Robert Been?

- Опубликовано: 12 ноя 2020
- Just a quick update on the Top Guns ACE Kit Supercharger post-install. I have been very busy lately and haven't been able to upload in weeks. I have run into issues with oil leaks, exhaust leaks, and timing issues + misfire. None of this is related to the Super Charger kit itself, and my experience remote tuning with Eugene Turkov has been spot on so far. I explain some of the work that will need to be done over the next few months in order to get my Nissan 370Z up and running again, and get the Z34 tune finalized and get the car on the dyno.
The top guns Air-to-Air (A2A) kit has been running really strong for me, and is supposed to produce 525whp on pump gas once the car is running at fool boost. However belt slip from the Vortech V3 supercharger unit has been preventing me from hitting 14ibs. I will be tightening the belt in the coming future, as well as upgrading the radiator core and replacing all intake and exhaust gaskets in the car.

You have a galley gasket problem. Dont forget to buy a new water pump
Just wanted to say I've really enjoyed this series. Been great to see it unfold and for some of us, it brings the possibility of doing this closer to reality. Thanks a lot for doing this. Hope to see your car back in working order soon!
Robert, Many thanks for sharing with us it is much appreciated. I have been following your build and to tell you the truth will not start upgrading my Z until you are all sorted and happy. No need to rush we are learning a lot from you. Hear from you in the new year then be safe!
Thank you for such an honest review and analysis of issues you are facing. You'll get it sorted out. Look forward to the finished project.
You can't help but smile when banging gears!
With such a project/ task like this, take your time and do it right, we're not going anywhere, here for the long haul 😃👍
Eugene is the best. Big facts
If oil pressure too low don’t used the car you need to change the gallery gaskets ASAP
+1000 for ECUTek by Eugene Turkov.
My Nissan header gaskets looked warped like yours and I have no issues 8 months after install of DC ceramic coated headers on 2015 370z auto
What foot pounds of torque did you use on the headers? I know the pattern already and I’m about to do the headers on my Z. Thanks so much for the vids you’ve been a big help.
Good job Robert ....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for taking the time with all your build videos. Great info that will help with my build. I have a question. why did you chose this particular supercharger kit?
Cost, better power numbers than oyher A2A kits, ease of install.
Damn talk about unfortunate events, but hey at least you're on top of the situation. Keep at it man, you've gone so far into your build. Looking forward for your progress. Your fuel system got me interested into buying one for myself. So far ive only done supporting mods on my Z.
Radium system is top notch, only issue I have is the fuel level drops off so quickly, and reads zero when I still have 7 gallons in the tank.
I was looking into the Radium FHST again, i read something in there regarding the venturi system, didn't you bore out the venturi tube when you were trying to do the fuel system 1st time round?
@@lostunder12 I did, but this isn't necessary when installing the radium system.
Radium Fuel Hanger Surge Tank, Nissan 370Z👌😎
You don't need to remove the front clip to get to that front timing cover. Pull the fans and the radiator and that's more than enough room to get to everything on the timing cover. Push the steering pump and the a/c compressor to the side and you'll be able to get it out no problem.
thanks from the pirinnes Spain
Did u verify or find the sources of your issues. Low oil pressure,timing, belt slip and air fuel? Looked through the videos and didn't catch the update or a vid of the work you did under the front cover.
Very curious?
Sorry for the struggles, but that is part of challenge for sure
Not phased, planned to have to address minor things here and there.
You should look into aam oil cooler its to keep it 30-80degrees colder. Where the other ones are 0-30 degrees
So did you dyno the car? What HP total and gain have you made?
I had same kit as yours and also tuned by Eugene. I had the similar boost level as yours around 11-12 psi. After some trouble shooting. Such as check boost leak and belt split. It seems it’s relatively hard for Aaron's kit to hit 14 psi, because I already tighten the tensioner to the tightest position and using stronger gates RPM belts and make sure no leak in the system. but the highest boost I can achieve is around 13 psi. It’s not a big deal, since 12-13 psi on an 11: 1 compression ratio is about the limit of pump gas. but just want let you know Aaron achieve 14 psi and 525 hp in Minnesota during winter where temperature is around freezing level and air is much denser. It probably will be more difficult for you to achieve that in Texas. Just for your reference my car dyno about 465hp at 11 psi.
I also have some issue with super charge belt temperature. I’m wondering do you have the same issue on super charger belt running very hot? My belt temperature exceeds 210 on street driving and melt on track. I already went through 3 sets of belts.
Thanks, this is actually really insightful. I was going to crank the supercharger another turn on the tensioner and see if the engine load fall off improves. Good to know that 13psi is probably more reasonable. I haven't directly measured my belt temps yet but I will need to look at this when she is running again.
I actually kinda prefer watching you fix your car more so than the dyno results etc lol. I’d never attempt these repairs on my Z/G37 unless there’s a video/guide on it. Especially the oil gallery gaskets in particular would be a good video.
Btw it maybe backordered at Nissan, but is it backordered on Infiniti?
Hahaha, yeah, it's much easier to do in mechanic simulator, that's for sure. And I imagine nissan and infiniti pull there parts from the same place given the similar part numbers.
So how much did everything but the charger kit cost?
4:35 I know this feeling 😆
nice videos man i have a twin tubro g37 runs about 6psi right now also have raced a few hemi cars beat them and 5.0
Those Hemis are slow though, they're pulling boats with them sadly.
11psi? Are you sure that's safe on stock internals or are you planning on burning that motor out for a rebuild soon anyway?
525whp has been determined to be "safe" on these motors, all though it largely depends on how you drive it. I rarely give it full throttle because I want the motor to last.
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
The oil pressure code would be my greatest concern. Is there an oil pressure gauge in the 370? You also have to be knowledgeable on the use of a scan code. I have seen codes tricked many mechanics. Its the live data stream you need to analyze.
which wing are you running, the evo GT?
EVO-R GT Honeycomb CF
Could’ve told you the oem gasket was bad, every single car before 2012 does not have the MLS and will eventually lose oil pressure in the gallery causing the cams to wig out because they run off oil pressure.. low oil pressure on high rpm = eventual boom boom
Bro how do you stay so calm when something happens with your car? lol I would be so freakin anxious.
I just know almost anything can be fixed and that I have a second vehicle to get me around in the mean time. I do stress a bit over how much it will cost to fix though.
Oil seal by the cam actuator. Timing problems. Bingo!!!!
We have to wait longer for super charger footage now? You didn't at least get a nice episode together of that 2500 miles already?
No, I had no time between now and last month to put anything together. I was busy each weekend.
@@thecarizon504 alright patiently waiting brother :)
14 psi risky boi
370z can handle up to 500lb ft of torque on stock block safely, 14lb of boost isn’t even close to risky
Admin Tuned ECUTEK Z Owner here , Nice Try haha
Admin tuning blowns engines, he knows it and he said it 😂 Those flames maps aren't healthy for the engine and turbos
@@ZeroFX32 providing his map has been done by someone who knows what they’re doing, it’s highly unlikely to cause any internal issues..OEMs have ECU tunes that include burbles that are reliable and designed to last 100,000+ miles of hard use.
@@j.a.3138 at OEM level yes, it's safe. But some tuners do it too extreme for what the engine can handle, and therefore doing damage. The o2 sensors are the ones that take the damage for sure
