Spud's "The Definition of Ghetto-Rigged" M90 Supercharger Build Thread (lotsa pics)

Got a few updates here, though it may not be the stuff you guys are looking for Definitely necessary though.. I replaced my brake pads on Saturday, along with changing the oil (Castrol Syntec 5w30), using quality ZALINSKI AUTO PARTS from their new innovative brakepad division. (ok, they were cheap ebay pads and a FRAM filter lol). Yesterday I installed some NGK Iridium spark plugs as well, though I couldn't do the wires because for some reason the Autozone I went to didn't have any, despite a whole wall of wires. Incidentally, just how important is it to change the wires with the plugs?

As for the hood, I bought a huge bag of plaster, and I am going to finish it off with the workability of said plaster, then make a new fiberglass shell with the exact dimensions ready to mold. My hood probably weighs 80 pounds with all the bondo on it right now, and aside from the weight, I don't want to to blow up like a bag of flour if I ever bump anything I'm not sure when that will get done, but I'm hard on the trail again since my tune is going awesome now.


Also, I'm LOVING the colder weather with my car's performance! In the summer, I could barely hit 5.02psi on a hard pull, and at 50 degrees outside now, I'm approaching 5.5-6psi regularly. Every time a new cold front moves in, my car goes faster I'm still undecided on whether or not to do chain drive or a fat pulley, but I don't need to worry about that for a few months anyway, as I would need to build the motor up first.

No need to do your wires every time you do yoru plugs. The OEM wires are of pretty decent quality, and last far far longer than a standard plug. Especially a copper plug. I don't remember the exact number, but I think Subaru recommends replacing the wires at 50k intervals. But, don't quote me on that.
