ah, its not too bad right now, its been in the mid 30's for the past few days.
the big problem is the snow on the ground, any time I need to work under the car I get wet.
I have been going over the the universities new parking garage to work on my exhaust(no snow inside it)
UPD has only harassed be a few times

yay! parts came in!
got my new green advance spring(thanks spearco!)
as well as the rest of the parts to do my injectors, and my control switch for my electric vacuum pump.

hope I get a while next week to get some stuff done.

thanks again for the spring.
just got the last few parts came in. I ordered a second fuse block(because I lost the first one) and right after it arrived, I found the one I lost.
anyway, if I can get the car running by the weekend I will hopefully have the charger installed before monday.

well, just found a new starter(a good one) an injection pump and a glow plug control box for an i-mark, all for just $200!
the glow plug control boxes are considered to be impossible to find, so I am stoked.

guy on another forum saw that I was having issues with my starter and just offered.
not sure what I did to deserve all this good luck, must be all that good clean living

well, got the supercharger installed!
I am gonna get some pics tomorrow, it got too dark to get any good ones.
it makes 1.5PSI at idle, 9PSI at 2000RPM, and tops out at 18PSI at 3000RPM
makes lots more power too, gonna have to find some dry pavement to see what it can really do.
sounds like it may need to have the nose drive rebuilt though, it is clattering at idle, and it developed a squeal right as I pulled into my driveway.

I think the squeal is either the old timing belt tensioner I am using to tension the belt, or the belt itself squealing a bit at lower RPM.
I think I need to get a real spring loaded belt tensioner to keep the belt tight...

Is there room to put it on the other side of the tensioner? looks like it would wrap a little more around the SC pulley then maybe eliminating the squeal.

Shouldn't that idler be running against the back of the belt anyway? That plus spring loaded with a longer arm should help.

Pure awesomeness!!!!
A spring loaded tensioner would be the way to go I think.. No need to fuss with the tension, and I'd think it'd help absorb some of the shock when you'd rapidly change rpms...
