car sounds great.... told you they make a turbo type noise....
more detailed pics and video clips.... BTW i wouldnt use octane boosters, buy proper fuel instead or mix race gas with your normal fuel, just make sure its unleaded...... octane boosters are known to be SHIT!!! do some googling and you'll get the jist....

I just want to ask a question to ironZ4M: since the lubrication of the ASA blower is a cut out from the oil circuitry:
1- Is the Castrol TWS 10w-60 suitable to the ASA T1 521? 2- Aren't you afraid to contaminate the oil from the supercharger damaging your engine components ? |

Re question 1 i see no reason why the blower wouldnt be perfectly fine running Tws through its veins....... as oil goes its about as good as it get anyway, lots of the highly tuned GTR guys swap over to it ;-) Where the problems come in is the temperature..... The asa unit must not see oil temps of 140 deg C according to the literature, on a supercharged car, in a hot country, with a blower also heating the oil i think this could be an issue... the stock oil cooler will need uprating, hence im suprised gpower didnt supply one with the kit. However, the OP may never track his car or use it hard for long periods so it may not be an issue, Iron, how do you plan to use this car??

I think that the ASA blower needs a thinner oil. the 10w 60 is too thick
also the engine would run hotter than the blower making the oil viscosity inadequate to the blower, what do you think bee? |

i MUST advise you to get an incar setup, i went to town on this part and installed imo the best solution possible, which not only looks amazing but is of genuine quality and ADDs to the interior, looks amazing.... check out my video.... wait till the interior shots for the gauge setup, i went with a Proper wideband AFR stack unit with Peak throttle recall and real time monitoring of AFR, LFR, and pretty much every featured related to fuel ratios, very very cool, i went with boost gauge and oil pressure, for you oil pressure is now Probably one of the most important things to monitor as your blower will need a solid oil pressure..... i wont lie, it ran well into the thousands but was well worth it..... i can now see instantly when im lean, or see if boost is low and check my oil pressure real time!! Makes me feel so much better as any FI motor should be monitored properly......... Note ; i took oil pressure from the stock location for low oil pressure light, i moved the low oil press to the unused rear post and custom made and little distribution block to use the front port, oem look and feel and the best place to take oil pressure from. byron

Throw in some Race unleaded, make sure your tune is working correctly, nice 11..-11.6ish AFR,s @ WOT and your good to go....
when this is running correctly you will simply have a monster ;-)

Give this guy some time to respond, its likely he's run into a few issues he'd like to sort out first before updating. Its not easy being one of the first to get a different kit, there's some trial and error involved

I'm uploading the videos I made today. I made a video for Cold start, AFR on idle and a test drive to check the AFR on full throttle.

This is AFR reading after the car wormed up. I dont really know if the car running smooth on 95 octane is it lean or rich.
I'll post the other videos I'm uploading right now.
