Jimmy? Jimmy who? Jimmys not here. How do you crack corn? Is there a write-up or build thread here?

Back to superchargers...This isn't rocket surgery...

This is basically 2 separate projects. The mounting/mechanical part and then the tuning part.

Fitting and mounting the supercharger is a great project. Space is limited. Accessories are in the way. 1 thing leads to 3 others. Once installed and plumbed and basically 'mechanically working' you then have the tuning project.

Tuning there are 2 areas that need addressing. Timing and fuel.

Timing- if you keep it under 4 pounds boost you can probably get by with no boost timing retard. Over 4 pounds boost you will need some boost timing retard. Usually 1/2 to 1 degree of retard for each pound of boost. You could do this with a MSD BTM.

Fueling- a bit more difficult. The simplest and risky'est would be to tap the fuel rail at the schrader valve and use a fuel/nitrous solenoid valve and nozzle and a 'hobbs' switch to turn it on and just inject a set amount of fuel into the intake when you go into boost. More reliable is some sore of computer controlled fuel supplement system.
These recommendations are 'DO AT YOUR OWN RISK'. I would never use this myself. Just ideas, cheap ideas at that.

I can only recommend a well designed complete supercharger system.
I really just don't want you to have a bad result and a sour taste about superchargers.

So that's why they still keep you around these parts.

As for the cracked corn write up. I'm working on it but its pic extensive and I know ill still get people asking, what tools do I need, is it easy, where do I get "X," (I.e. The bimmers of the world)

'the bimmers of the world'!
That's funny, ROTFLMAO, spilled my coffee and pee'd my pants.

We need a new phrase like 'because racecar' and 'RaceJeep'.

- 'just bimmer it' or 'bimmerit' or 'because bimmerit'
- 'don't be a bimmer'
- 'bimmer guy'
- 'bimmer what'
- 'I like bimmer' (no offense bro)

I will google some ways to do the timing and fueling. just got a 600$ bonus at work so that should "boost" the project a tad when i get that. i will post pics and video when i get everything. i dont get paid for 2 weeks and im pretty sure it takes awhile for a supercharger to get shipped but expect more Q's when i get it.

Aem F/IC 30-1913 will perform all tuning functions for boost and keep emission compliance. It can be used on obd1 but keep in mind you will need a auto scanner that can read live data on obd1 vehicles.

That 1913 ($390) would do it with 30lb/hr injectors ($150).

and CoolingMist Meth Injector ($200) to keep the charge air temps reasonable

$390 + $150 + $200 = Gets expensive fast

Just spent that bonus check real fast.

Fast, reliable, cheap pick any 2 right? There are pros and cons to using the fic. For the versatility it can tune for I think it is priced right where it should be.
