probelm with supercharger

Post by 97XJM62 »

I installed a m62 supercharger kit on my 4.6 stroker a while back. It ran fine for about a month then but now it occasionally back fires under 1000 rpms. It also didn't seem to increase output much. I replaced the mpa sensor, tps, and cps and that didn't work. Any ideas? :cheers:

Its building about 3 psi of boost.. it came with some sort of black box tuning module that I believes plugs into a injector or sensor on the manifold.

Anything I can try? Anyone recognize the manufacturer of this kit? Maybe get in touch with them and see what is missing.

How was the output the first month? And now it backfires at 1000rpm and less output?

From what I remember the output at first was pretty good. its down a bit now. the backfiring usually happened below 1000.. sometimes it doesn't/

I'l call splits second tomorrow they might be the people familiar withthis supercharger.
