The surface area of the countersunk head will be greater than the surface area of the nut so will stop the bolt spinning They should really have tapped the plate to allow the countersunk bolt to thread into it to create a stud sticking up

Yeah, when I initially watched the video, I was thinking... not the greatest design choice just to have free-spinning countersunk bolts just held in there with some sealant

@speedacademydave 3 жыл бұрын

Travis from Elate Mfg has revised this part of the design. Those holes are now tapped, just as you've suggested. The great thing about Travis from Elate is his willingness to quickly iterate and make his products better. Working with him has been really gratifying, he's dedicated to making parts that work for a global market and we've stumbled on a few differences with our USDM car (he's in Australia) but he's responded to these differences very quickly. Top mark to him, he most definitely will not leave his customers hanging.

@JoshuaMompher 3 жыл бұрын

Gary, I haven’t seen previous episodes but wondered why it wasn’t studs. Great replay on the countersink. The surfaces love to create interference friction. Anyone who has had to break them loose on a fixture after a while knows how tight that gets!

@jagdeshkarran 3 жыл бұрын

That low idle is most likely due to the engine not being turned on in a while (you disconnected the battery when you started your mods I’m assuming) when you do that, you may have to do what is called an idle relearn procedure on it. I had a very similar issue with my dads 2uz-fe sequoia we did a battery change on.

Felt great, but to be honest it's been a very easy install compared to just about any other forced induction system we've ever installed, and we've installed a lot of them over the years. There's been a few small details to sort out, but this setup is about as simple and as easy as it gets if want to add boost to the party mix.

@ivycycles 3 жыл бұрын

Great video :-) I know on both of my Toyotas if you disconnect the battery without running a jumper to the OBD2 port the computer kinda loses it's tune and neither car idles well. Though luckily Toyota computers are self learning and after about 70 - 75 miles the engine runs just fine. I know you guys will probably be getting the engine tuned, but the rough idle is normal and will go away on it's own. Just say'in - my two cents. Stay warm!

Regarding spark plug... If u guys bought the ngk bkr6eix or bkr7eix code without -11 at the back of it, they were already gapped for boosted engine application (0.8mm gap preset).... Because -11 at the end of the ngk plug code denote the 1.1mm plug gap for normally aspirated engine application

JUST A HEADS UP, on early Toyota and Lexus cars, they have this thing of when you disconnect the battery it resets the cars idle, from my experience as a used car technician at a Chevrolet dealership where I would get a lot of early toyota and Lexus for trade in, once the car is fully complete and running, I would let the car idle for a good amount of time and it'll self learn its idle

I've never seen anyone supercharge an LS before so I'm excited to see this thing running down the road. On another note, it would've been a nice touch if you would've swapped out the front bolts on the supercharger for some polished ARP bolts. Sweet deal regardless though. 👌

@lcq4blackstar 3 жыл бұрын

It should be noted when changing/modifying the vacuum hose for the brake booster from OEM there is a one way check valve in the line, make sure there is still one in place and that it flows in the proper direction.👍 I see the smoke tester was used to find the leaks in the credits, always a good idea to double check your work and know for certain on first startup.
