:bump2: Update. It appears having the external fuel pump relay triggered by the fuel ECU was draining my battery. The original battery gave up the ghost about 4 months after the install and the new battery was starting to struggle. ( fluid around top of battery, slow turnover etc.). :ballchain:
The supercharger has a pump which circulates coolant through a inter-cooler/radiator and it is triggered through the ignition. I daisy chained the fuel pump relay behind the coolant pump relay. Everything starts to run when the ignition key is first turned on. The fuel pump no longer randomly runs when there is no one in the car.
In other news, I took a video of the worst knocking from the supercharger. I’ll have to have someone guide me with getting it posted to the tube. In my case it happens in Drive while at a full stop while the engine is warming up. It appears to be caused by the V6 pulsing the supercharger gears. The only other noise comes from the fuel filter where the volume of fuel through it causes it it whistle. Only noticeable at a stop when the windows are down.
It appears we have switched to winter gas as I have dropped my ave MPG down to 19.8
from 20. Having said that. My gosh this thing is SWEET! :biggrin2:
