Worry not my friend...unca dub gotcha back...Originally Posted by shinkson
I have a 2000 VX with what I believe is an Alpine supercharger. Anyway its an Eaton M62. I was just rebuild and has a new pressure release valve. My problem is no boost. I installed a vacuum/boost guage. I get -20 on idle. Full throttle I get 0. When I blip the throttle I see the pressure release valve close momentarily and reopen and stay open. When I floor the throttle it does the same thing. I looks like there is not enough boost to allow the valve to close or too much vacuum. There may be a problem with the the way the vaccum lines are run. I have all the lines after the charger connected together (Fuel pressure reg, release valve, and intake manifold) and every thing pre-charger connected. Does anyone have clear picture of the vacuum/boost routing on a Alpine system?
Hope that is of some help, I seem to remember that it was the missing piece of the puzzle when I experienced the same problems as you currently are.
Also I remember that the boost gauge would only register boost if hooked to a certain vac line, but right now, I don't have time to clarify.
Gonna be outta town for the weekend, so if this doesn't do it, I'll take another whack at it Monday...
