Those of us with superchargers

[midospike]

I pulled the engine and trans out today. Took 2 hours.. went great!! Here is my question? Is it easier to put the engine in then hook up the supercharger( some bolts are a bitch to get at)or the other way around. Also putting new plugs in.. What kind of spark plugs and gapping should I use. I should hopefully have the car running by the end of this week!! bs unless work calls me in!! I am ready to meet up with Mikey's fast GTP.. lol burnout

I would recommend pulling it off before pulling or install the motor. It would be pretty easy to break the superchargers aluminum housing if it got hung up on something. Remember it's a $1500 dollar target if you leave it on a swinging motor.

Some of the s/c guys are using Denso Iridium plugs, not to sure on the gap or if they run a range cooler though.

I have done it both ways. It's safer with the blower off, it's easier with it on.

D'oh! I don't see the Supra in your sig. Is it gone?

 

[midospike]

Sold the supra last month. The money from the supra is a down payment for my porsche. Going to sell the sho or the typhoon. I have had a couple of people look at the typhoon and the sho. What ever sells first.. i'll keep the other. Right now I could careless which one i sell. Also I have my girlfriends 04 GTP. Never really like GM I might be changing my mind. Those GTP move out pretty good.

 

[Mike Kopstain]

Haha, yes they do. And she has the L32: Forged rods, bigger intake valves, aggghhhhhh.

I say sell the SHO. It would need to much for it to handle all that power and be fun, the Typhoon is fun and rare and fast.

I don't believe you.

It took 2 hours to pull the engine out and trans. The day before it took 2 hours to remove the supercharger and jack the car up. So i guess you can say it took me 4 hours total.
