Just came home from Sweden`s biggest car meeting/cruising, a 200 mile road trip to get there, towing a 3500 lbs caravan with the supercharged Impala, and it worked without any issues
, well some small things, the temp gauge suddenly showed about 10 more degrees celsius, but the e-fan also started 10 degrees higher, so my conclusion is that the gauge is wrong, its a real cheap one.
The vacuum source for the modulator was tested under this tour, and it needs to be under the blower to shift correct, both to get the shift points right and to avoid slip att part throttle when boost is almost in.
i will be ordering the Transgo VBP-VAC, but the thought of it blowing air fuel mixture out in the engine compartment makes me wonder if i should went it in the air cleaner for saftey?!
I also feel it needs more timing, runing 32-33 right now, did run 40 without the blower, accidently run 44 when first running with the blower and it felt way more agressive in the midrange, never drove WOT at the first test drive with the blower, so no damage.
E85 burns slower at part throttle, but almost like gas at WOT, that is a mix of my conclusions and what i have found on the internet... I have locked out timing, maybe sounds strange, but it was the only solution that gave good idle and throttle respons when running NA.
The throttle linkage needs some tweeking, its to short stroke, and needs to much force to be comfortable.
And, the LAW caught me
and did not approve with the air cleaner sticking out of the hood, "it was dangerous if i would hit a pedestrian" (Crazy)
so i have to go to the "car inspection" and show up with, i dont know, no blower and stock hood, or maybe a scoop will make them satisfied, thinking about this:
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dom-502-cf since it can ship to Sweden, and i can mount it with som small "quick fasteners", (i would like help to what fasteners to buy from summit)
