Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (StealDads67)
Well congrats...yeah when you first start it....it blows my mind how loud mine was i even asked Jason (ATI GUY) why is it so loud he said (It's not?) but i guess that is how they sound and act...but he said over time they will get quiter and not be so loud but i have alot of miles on mine and guess what it still sounds the same i go to bed at night and still hear the wine in my ears when i am trying to sleep! Just a little FYI....when the car is cold dont go over 3000rpm till she is a little warm then it is go time.... but that is what my ati guy said....but have you got on it and do you have a boost gauge in it? oh also the more you drive it the more the computer will get use to the extra air and such.... :D Dude so glad another hear another ATI survivor made it threw the install.....like i said it is a killer kit but the instructions suck!

Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (krivera)
I have the boost gauge on but I need to hook up the backlighting. I only bumped the throttle to 2000RPM and I noticed no boost. I just saw on ATI's website though that the Surge Valve prevents boost while not under load so, all I have to do is hook up my FP gauge and I'm going to take her for a ride tonight :)
I just hope it doesn't rain like it's been doing for the past week!! :mad

Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (vvv90)
Well, I took it for a drive last night and gotta say.
I'm veeeery disappointed! :(
I'm going to wait until I get my chip back to make a decision or not, but I gotta tell you, I didn't really notice anything on the top end, but I noticed some torque on the downlow...not a lot though. When I gunned it off the line it bogged so I know I'm running really rich. I was unable to get the gauges backlit so I couldn't see them at night, so I will take it for a spin when I get home today and make sure I'm getting proper boost. I really hope I don't have a lot of belt slippage either.
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
All in all, I was just soooo happy to be driving it last night. Even with the way it's running, I'd love to hit a cruise-in this weekend :thumbs:
Oh and another thing. What I said about it being so loud. Well, once I dropped the car off the jackstands and closed the hood it got considerably more quiet. At cruise you can't really hear anything but a slight high pitched wistle. I got the standard cut (loud) gears and now I'm a little disappointed that it's not louder. :yesnod: :lol: But now it's definitely a sleeper :yesnod: :thumbs:

Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (vvv90)
So you coudl not tell what kind of boost you where making? well like i said it is 2 things just need to lean it out a little to get some power of of it...and what size of pulley do you have on it and you still have the stock crank pulley on right? well i am sure when you get it tuned you will be having alot of fun! yeah when i drove mine oh i was pist :cuss i was only making i think 4psi and it felt so slow no power at all...i dyno'd at 329 at the back wheel at 3 or 4 psi but on my new motor oh god..... 11's easy with a 3.7 pulley so if you need more boost i have a 4.0 pulley at home!

Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (krivera)
I'll have to see how much boost I'm making first. I think it's not making much. I noticed though that when I pulled back in from drive, I popped the hood and had a burned rubber smell. My neighbor said it's probably just the new belts and hoses breaking in and heating up. :skep:

Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (krivera)
To tell you the truth I don't know what the diameter is. I asked for an 8lb pulley and supposedly that's what I got. I guess I should have measured it huh. :(

Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (vvv90)
I have bought three prochargers and I told them each time what boost I wanted and all three times it came up short. Instead of buying a smaller pulley for the blower and then not having enough belt wrap and belt slip why not have asp build a bigger crank pulley. this will turn the water pump a little faster but don't think that would be a problem. :leaving:

Doesn't it void your warratny to change the pulley too unless you send it back for them to do it? Makes more sense to put on a bigger crank pulley as bart suggests ;).

Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (vvv90)
I paid asp $650 for a 8 rib blower pulley, belt, modification of my vortech bracket/tensioner and modification of the crank pulley. They modify the stock pulley/balancer by adding an aluminum groved pulley around the outside of the balancer part. My crank pulley is 7.6"

Re: Finally started my ATI install!!!!! (Ronnie_W)
You got a 6 rib serpentine drive. Its sucks. ATI don't make a 8 ribs set up for your car. Unless you have a it custom made, the above mentioned. I am making my own cogged drive, Big thanks to TJWong for his design/drawings and fellow co workers with help doing programming on the CNC machine and custom grind tooling for the cog teeth.
