I own a JDM fd2 with a Jackson racing supercharger. It's running just over 330 bhp, totally set up for track. I run several parts you've fitted like the exedy clutch. I think I've gone too track focused to be honest, it's a lot of fun on track but very rough on the road. It's been fun watching your videos on this build, makes me think about what a k24 bottom end would do for my set up. I definitely need to look into a 3 inch system too but I want to go titanium. I'd put my money on the civic, M3 is a quick car on track but I've had fun against them on track days here in the UK.

Those are some beautiful dyno charts - especially how you can see clearly the relationship between rpm's, pulley size and power figures. Anyone else prefer superchargers to turbos? I just love how the torque and power curve is basically the same as NA

Yeah, I don't like turbos, especially the modern ones that just simulate a larger NA engine. If it has to be turbo, I prefer the old-school ones with lots of lag followed by a dramatic surge of boost as at least they were exciting!

I had a shop press the bearings and bushings. Saved a grand. A new car is over 30k. I could spend 5k more and make a sweet ride. All in for 10k. Just waiting for EVs to hit better prices in 2025. No more belts and hoses and spark plugs and filters and oil. I’ve had my fill of fixen.

Idle vibrations are most likely resonance. When I my Z3 had the stock oil pump it would idle smoothest at 950 rpm; at the usual 850 it would vibrate more. After switching to the RRC oil pump, it was vibrating quite a bit at 950. I lowered the idle to 850RPM and it’s so much smoother.

The reason the boost was low is because you were feeding boost into the 2.4L VS a 2.0L. More displacement with a fixed speed supercharger will decrease boost levels. Love the content! Car turned out great.

Bigger cams don't "bleed boost" out of the exhaust, they just increase flow. Pressure is a measurement of resistance so bigger cams=more flow=less boost at the same power level.
