Will be taking off my aa kit and reverting everything back to stock well close to stock anyways.I’ve noticed a lot of heat in the cooling system since having the supercharger on . I thought it was the radiator being old and plugged up , I thought it was the water pump or thermostat so I changed that to to a new one same issue still persists and I know the blower gets extremely hot and this is what’s most likely heating **** up to 255! So off it comes …
so it looks like I’ll be selling off a lot of parts , soon !
This was simply from warming up the car driving in less then 20 miles with the ac on not even getting on the throttle .
It’s 106 outside as well

Amazing as it turn dark I took it out without the aa air bridge on or filter 214 getting on it wtf. Within a 10 degree change in temps outside the car runs some 40+ degrees cooler ?

Coming up with some different for air whether it be a velocity Stack / bell mouth with a screen , maybe a round 3.5 k&n filter or some pipe bending and see if can get a pipe to the front duct with a filter…

I think it’s sucking all the heat & air from the radiator/under the hood and not much cool air is making its way into the pipes and thus another reaction causing the supercharger to get way warmer then normal leading to much much more hot air . Making the radiator work harder like this thing is a Kirby on Roids or something.

Like I said it’s got me swinging… I went and looked for a velocity stack and some fine mesh screen but it’s a no go at our performance shops …
Maybe it’s the fuel for these hot day or in the hotter months I’ll try switching my fuel from e85 back to 91 and see what that does …possibly the extra o2 in the corn fuel is just to much extra …maybe adding more into the mix is the answer will see

Car just doesn’t like temps in the 100’s outside …when it’s literally 95 -93 F and below out the runs a perfect 207 and lower to 199 ! For now I’m still thinking it’s the fuel and the amount of o2 it contains

A/c quit blowing any cold air today just pure warm /hot air so the compressor has def just called it quits …well time to order up some new parts I saw the complete ac kit somewhere online will be doing some searching .
I can already for see this being a nightmare to change given the supercharger seems like everything almost the supercharger comes off wtf I heard of people just pulling the exhaust manifold it is that enough to change the entire system out with the side dryer tank is it ? I can see getting at the ac pump it’s self from the bottom but now way your getting at the tank plus I’m doing the tank , pump , and condenser….what method can be used to purge the tank safely?
