Supercharger not whining

[stealthee]

Stealthee that is what I want mine to do! What intake did you buy?

It's "custom." Here'e my quote from when I posted about my intake.

I posted this in the "What did you do to your car today" thread, but I will post it here too.

My filter was in need of replacement so I had a custom one made for my application.

Old filter vs new filter



Installed

So after 4 pages did the OP fix the boost issues or did this thread turn into a cone filter DIY thread?

Right?

I don't think he ever had a boost issue. I think he had a stock airbox issue.

Never touched a supercharged GP I have 9 parts GP parts cars haha.. But I DO HAVE BOOST the only problem is I don't hear my supercharger whining...

That would have made a better first post in the thread lol It sounded to me like you had an issue or vacuum leak.

 

[johnpaulcurtis15]

Okay, but I do hear alot of suction when I have boost..

put a open cone filter on, i bet you think somethings wrong the next day when you hear all sorts of crap from that intake lol

I suppose he didn't take my advice of naming the supercharger after my wife. He'd be trying to find ways to silence it instead!

no, you'll know the pump is whining.

you can hear stuff that will make you wonder if the engine is ok or not. cold start only. it sounds like a pos really. i had a friend walk up to my car and tell me it dont sound so good, im like come back in 5 minutes lol

the stock air filter box is a muffler really.

The Helmoltz resonator strikes again!

I'm going to autozone today, to get parts, I'll pick up a filter, what size is it?

I am not sure on your car, but stay away from the Specter (sp?) chrome plated plastic. You will literally suck the chrome off the inside of the tubes....

I'm at autozone right now.. I'm getting a spectre air filter, just looking for the tubing. What size is the tubing?

Another thing, what do I do with the sensor when I replace the filter hose?

Drill a hole and install it into the tube. Get a grommet if you need to.

A grommet?

So you can drill a hole in the metal tube and then stick the sensor into it. A grommet looks like a doughnut with a slit around the edge so it will fit the walls of the pipe, you know like when you pass wires through a firewall and don't want the wires to rub on the metal surface.

Did I mention not getting the Spectre brand chrome plated plastic tubing?
