^ That's cool that you have a friend that is a mechanic - but I don't have one...lol....

So I'm still asking the guys:

"Does $100 sound reasonable to change out ONE belt?"...

Thanks Guys!
-WoW

 

It depends on which belt it is. And how lazy the dudes are working on it. Do I thinkits fair? No. Do I see it as a sound price w.o a hookup? Yea it sounds about right.

 

^ Cool - I appreciate the feedback, and all the more reason for me to learn how to change it myself. $100 seems very steep to me (personally)...I could handle $50 any day of the week, but you know - if it's a b&tch to change, then maybe they want to get a good price for the labor...I can understand that (I guess)...

I just wish SOMEONE would post up a DIY to change out the Supercharger Belt....

Thanks Guys!
-WoW

 

I think a $100 charge is on the high side as it only takes about a half hour to do.If i still had the stillen i would go snap you a few pic's on how to replace it.

 

Appreciate it bro!!

Could you put it into words - or would it be too difficult to explain?

Thanks Guys!
-WoW

 

Take some pic's of the little tensioner where it mounts up and ill try and remember as its been over 3 years since i had it.

 

^ Ok, thanks man, I'll post them up soon!

Hey everyone. Hope all is well.


I'm trying to find out the dimensions of the FMIC for the stage 2+. I'm doing a custom design, and I need the front dimensions so I can get a cut out of what I am spraying. I can't access ny car or the fmic atm, they are being worked on and I can't get to it.

If anyone happens to have the measurements off hand and is willing to share, is be most appreciative.

Thanks in advanced guys!

 

the stillen doesn't have a fmic the charger sits right on top of the engine so its a tiny cooler that has water inside and it sits inside the intake. there isn't a way to make a fmic for it unless you want the longest CAI ever

 

Really? And what do you call this?

 

thats the radiator for the internal watercooler that sits inside the intake manifold between the engine and the supercharger. you are talking about the thing right in front that says stillen right? do you have a stillen on your car? and why would anyone change the stillen water cooling thats better and more efficient for a air-to-air cooler anyways?

 

Um... Read my original question. I dont want to CHANGE it. I want to do a design with a vinyl cut out, and spray the design on the FMIC.

As far as it being a intercooler or not, yes it is a radiator. Im sorry for not being completely specific in my syntax.

 

you said you wanted to do a custom design and you needed the dimensions. never said anything about vinyl and spray paint. i thought you were going to do something like make a bigger cooler to take up the big gap around the cooler you can see thru the kit and i wanted to make sure you were buying the right cooler but sweet custom spraypaint is cool too. i heard that spraypaint adds like 35hp. good luck and be sure and post up some dyno numbers

 

Well honestly, i was considering a larger radiator before, but its money i dont need to use right now, as i am not planning on doing a full build or anything.

And thanks for the numbers bro! Ill be sure to post up my dyno sheet after the paint!

Can someone actually ADD to my inquiry instead of making stupid comments?

 

yea wait till u get your car back and use construction paper and a razor blade it takes 2 seconds to make a cutout
