Superchager not boosting properly...

[not_too_fast]

I have a blitz supercharged altezza and the compressor keeps cutting in and out below 4.5k rpm and then runs shit after that through out the rest of the rev range...

Had a tip a while back (which im finally getting round to getting sorted!) and when i was takin the engine out i noticed on the throttle body that the wire to the thermostat and another small hose were ripped off from when im guessing a belt on the compressor snapped... This could cause the car to run rich and im hoping that its the problem:confused:

Just wondering could this be my problem as i dont wanna be payin 2k to get the car fixed up and for it then to be still running shit!

Cheers for any ideas

I think the wise thing to do, would be fix the problem you know is there, and then see how it is.

i must get a new rad and IC with all the piping which cant be fitted the way the car is now never mind driving it to see if its boosting right or not..

this is why this smiley faced was used:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolle yes::rolleyes::p

[Arnie]

First sort out the obvious stuff, lol
Then have a look at supercharger bypass ie is it functioning properly or not. Any leaks/malfunction on this and you have similiar issues to boost leak

the intercooler was fucked AFTER the crash but my problem was happening BEFORE the crash.

Im not stupid i had it all pressure tested... its not a boost leak.
