HKPRO5's Supercharger Build Thread

[shane02pro5]

Don't have my camera but the vac line leading straight into the solenoid for the sensor (looks just like the vics and vtcs solenoids) is where the check valve needs to be. The solenoid and sensor are mounted to a bracket for the strut bar just behind the strut near the firewall.

Ok I'll take a look. So it should be there? Or shouldn't be there?

 

[shane02pro5]

NA protege's use an egr boost sensor which tells the egr when to open. MSP does not have this sensor so no problem for them but when you boost an na protege the check valve keeps boost from hitting the sensor.

These were part of the Hiboost Kit install instructions and I have read similar cases of the OG na gone turbo guys as well as other makes too.

I'm assuming you don't also have a check valve on the vac line just behind the throttle body that leads to the purge solenoid valve. This keeps you from applying boost pressure to your gas tank.

You should have the msp check valve (the one dealing with the gas tank) since I included it in the little plastic bag, it might be good idea to install it if you haven't yet. This thread talks about it...http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95550

your exhaust should be fine, when I was getting my custome cam upgrade the cam guy told me a supercharger should be more exhaust then intake, and turbo vise versa.

you guys are talking about the check valve before the charcoal canister right? wish I could help with the EGR, I removed mine....

Hmm Ill check later today...I was actually busy at work...lol


BTW those slim fans kill it! Almost louder than the SC. hahaha!

This?

 

[shane02pro5]

Yes, I have a check valve on the line pointing toward the drivers side...to block the boost pressure.

Any links to threads talking about this?

I already have a check valve on the purge solenoid. Shane, from what I understand, is talking about a different and second check valve needed which I cannot find info on

 

[HKPRO5]

This is what I have currently.

I guess I need to add that check valve

 

[HKPRO5]

Thats what I was wondering too.

 

[bedwards6954]

so I was wondering if having your MAF being under pressure may be the cause
I have my MAF right where the filter intake is, and have the BOV recirculated,
it ran great this way

 

[HKPRO5]

Never really thought about running recirc.

I'll be switching over to aluminum pipes I guess I can try that then.

Hey can you post up some pics of the car with the FD's on it? Preferrably a lot of pics?

 

[bedwards6954]

Fd ftw

 

[HKPRO5]

Alright I'll post some up tonight when I get home.

bump for more info

Paid for the larger pulley from bedwards. Should put me between 8-10 PSI.
