I skimmed through the SC video and I noticed that you didn't route the drive belt exactly as shown on the decal, I'm just curious if that was done intentionally or if you guys just missed it? Great video regardless, you put a lot of effort into explaining everything that you do in your vids. :thumbsup:

Take another look at the video. We routed it just like the decal. The decal shows a static pulley rather than the dynamic one Sean bought. I'm pretty sure the belt can only go on one way to work correctly. We're glad you like the video.
**Edit I just watched the part of the video where we get the belt in place and you are correct. The routing we did is different than the decal. The decal is obviously showing the routing for a fixed supercharger pulley and not the dynamic tensioner Sean bought for this job. Thanks for pointing this out to us.

Hey Sam, good video. I do have some comments though. I would think the viewer would be stoked to see how you pressed out the parts from the nose cone because that might be the hardest part of this job. Did you video the pressing of the parts? I'd love to see it if you did because we're going to rebuild Sean's nose cone at some point in the future. Also, it seems if you had that nose clamped down in a vise, the drilling and tapping would have been much easier for you.

Every step has been documented so far. I guess I could have included the bearings and shaft removal but that will be in the full video. This was kind of a tangent job so I just wanted to include this extra video someone could watch if they want to do the same thing while they're doing their rebuild.

Gotcha and good to hear you documented the press work. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Will it prematurely "stress" your engine? All the accounts of people over on IH8MUD wrecking their Landcruiser diesels with turbo's...
There are plenty of people who have had these on their rigs for years with no issues. I know that once the novelty wore off, that I rarely need to really step on it. The biggest change to me has been where the power is on the pedal.
But, stress levels can change as people try to push them to their limits and beyond.

I think the best part of the video was the test drive. Sean didn't seem overly thrilled, like he had his socks knocked off. Like me, maybe the excitement builds up with time.

Still cool to have though.
I think Sean was a little nervous like his engine might blow up or something. We didn't put it in the video, but I was saying, "Come on Dude, Get On It! Let's see what this thing can do!" However, I think I probaly would have driven it fairly conservative too if it was my engine I just installed a supercharger on. I'm glad we filmed him driving by a couple times. It does seem to accelerate much faster.

Maybe the different pulley is what was different, I just thought that the decal was showing that the belt from the alternator went to the blower pulley then wrapped around the idler which looks like it would have cleared the dipstick.
No offense intended ( if any was taken ) just trying to clarify. I enjoy the vids because you show the FSM and use that as your guide instead of trying to figure it out as you go.

No dude, you were absolutely right. No offense taken. I edited my first response to say you were correct. The decal in the video shows the proper routing if you have a STATIC pulley. Sean bought the dynamic tensioner so the routing has to be different. Thanks for catching this and letting us know. I added a pinned comment to the video letting people know this.

Do you have water dripping from areas of your headliner? Do you have a sunroof in your vehicle? If the answer is Yes to both questions, watch this video to try to isolate where your leak is coming from. It could be because you have clogged sunroof drains that need to cleared.
You can clear your own drains with a little persuasion from weed whacker line or some other type of solid line you can snake in the drains.
**In the video, I say the driver side rear drain travels down the B-Pillar but it actually travels down the C-Pillar and then over the wheel-well.
**Some people have employed the use of compressed air but you need to be careful if you choose this method. If you use too high of air pressure, you could force the drain tube off the fitting and then you'd be forced to pull down your headliner so you can reattach the drain tube.
IDK Tim, that seems like a lot of work. Caulking might work better
