Default Supercharger?

I have a procharger D-1. I am having oil mist on my fuel rail covers and the smell of the motor fumes in the car. I do have a catch can (I don't think that it is hooked up the right way) and I do have a oil breather on the oil cap. How do I get rid of the motor fumes smell inside the car and stop the oil mist on the fuel rail covers? Any info will help.. Thanks

Do what I did, I got this set-up from RACETRONIX and installed it on my Vette and my buddy did the same with his:

http://www.racetronix.com/product/RX-CEPH/RX-CEPH.html

If you have the Valley Cover that has the PCV nipple in the center, then this is where I suggest you hook up the line going to the Pump to evac the Crankcase Presure

I have no issues at all and it works perfect and it has a good amount of pull/Vacuum into the Air Pump Works like a charm and it's plug and play

Thanks,Matt

Which one did you buy all 3 of them? Did that stop the mist and smell? Thank you for your help...

If you are getting a lot of breathing, and oil on the covers, make sure you do not have an engine problem before you work on masking it.

No I didn't buy all 3 I bought the harness for my Vette, the ugliest of them - mine is a '98 so the one on the far right is the one I needed!

You will need to indentify which one your Vette has, look at the page for RACETRONIX and read over each picture to indentify which one your vette has - it is identified by the connector, unless you have my year
It certainly kept any mist coming from my Valve Cover breather and I get "NO" smell what so ever!

Do you have any evac lines going to the intake, TB, Air Inlet on the SuperCharger? What is your set-up now?

Yes it uses the stock Air Pump - usually disconnected on SuperCharged Vette's, or shall we say they are turned off!

The pupose is only on start up for around 30 seconds of run time - in order to assist the cats to heat up!

I certainly agree with Doug, make sure all you PCV routing system is done correctly and that you have one-way check valves installed so you do "NOT" B@@ST the Crank Case! and you don't have excessive blowby due to faulty rings

I selected the main valley cover due to the fact it is right in the middle of the motor and the pump can come on and pull additional Crank Case Pressure The kit comes with an adjustable Hobbs switch which is activated at BOOST - I believe I set mine to start at 3 PSI of BOOST - factory is 5 PSI I wanted to be sure)

Thanks,Matt
