What kind of time frame are we looking at, Paul?

i can order the parts today or tomorrow and get it all back together by the end of next week




Edit: Oil seal has been ordered, and just waiting on the invoice for the bearings and impeller so I can send payment for those.

Edit#2: All parts have now been ordered and paid for.


Here are some pics... a very simple mechanical device....

project is officially dead.

Going back to stock in the near future.

new impeller and bearings came, got the bearings in fine, but the impeller got stuck halfway on and cracked while trying to get it back off, then took another hour to get the damaged impeller off, and swap the old one back on, but now it seems the impeller shaft is bent.

I am DONE with this project.

Parts will be sold off to get back at least half of what I have invested.

That's really rough. Sorry, man. Hopefully everything sells quickly.
You think the integrity of the impeller was jeopardized from being ported? No wonder Powerdyne got a bad rap.

it was a brand new billet impeller, custom made for one seller. only type/version available
powerdyne parts were all fine, they got a bad rap due to people over-boosting the belt driven units.

That sucks, V.

This saddens me.

Man that sucks...

id say dont quit it will be worth it in the end and accomplished. but idk where youre standing (financially) so good luck with everything.

Start funding it if that's your feeling

id personally like to see this monster rip. put up a paypal account for the funding.
i bet every one here gives a bum on the street a dollar or two so he can do whatever he wants. id donate a dollar or too now all we need is about 1000 more members.

I can afford repairs, that's not it. Its just that it isn't worth it beyond the point I've reached. Repairs would be at least $800+. The point was to do this all for less than any kit(for an average car).

Im at the point of diminishing returns, time to cut my losses and bail.

The car will still beat most of your cars on the highway...

My plans now are to go back to stock.
The lease on my Cruze is up in 18 months... when I turn that in, I'll trade this V in for a '09+ V.
Problem solved then.

was that really necessary? or correct?

i said the car, not me. just saying the car isn't slow where it needs a power adder.

by beat you mean you will get to the speedlimit faster and stay there right?

This sucks to read Paul, sorry I can't use the stuff you got on my build.

you know your going to regret this down the road even if you get a gen II theres nothing really special yours would have been a one of a kind thing
