Im using 600cc which would of been fine with the restrictor fitted but probably pushing it abit with the supercharger at full output. I love the fact that at light throttle it feels smooth as OEM. i was worried you would feel the drag of the charger every time you lift off the throttle but you don't notice it even being there.

I will try and get a video tomorrow assuming if i can get a few bits of snagging done on the supercharger.
So i've done about 100 miles, no leaks and lots of boosting fun but had a couple of issues.
Some of the bolts on the brackets use serated nuts and bolts. One of these has come undone and dropped out at some point. Im going to replace these with nyloc nuts and bolts because if they do come loose then they will never fully loosen off. Two of the long bolts that mount the charger bracket to the vtec solenoid area have also worked slightly loose. They were located on the same bracket so i wonder if alot of vibration has effected that area.
Because of this i decided to remove the charged from the brackets and loctite all of the bolts so that it prevents any issues. It also gives me time to replace the coolant lines that i made up with ones that the car had from the factory.
Other than those tiny issues everything else on the charger has been spot on. The sound of the bypass valve operating at high rpm gear changes is awesome by the way. The other thing i have noticed as well is that it doesnt feel like the car is overpowered, it feels perfect like it should of left the factory like it.
Im still unsure of what im going to do with the injectors because im seeing over 90% duty cycle at 8000+ revs. My injectors say they are rated to 90% and with me running at 11.6 AFR i could probably lean it up abit and stay within the injectors efficiency range. I think ultimately the injectors will be changed as its one of those things that will throw doubt in my mind.
I have also noticed increased coolant temps and i think mainly its because at slow moving or stationary traffic the intercooler really must effect the efficiency of the rad because the fans are having to come on quite alot and quite often, I have a large Tegiwa radiator so it would be interesting to hear how the OEM item handles the intercooler blocking its flow.
