supercharger overheating

[etlsport]

i remember reading here somewhere that someone was able to get a kit to utilize the EGR from alpine.. not sure who said that though or what the circumstances were

did you try checking your fan? its pretty common for the fan clutch to go.. mine started to heat up when my fan clutch was going

Your coolant level may be good, but it may be old or the radiator may be plugged up somewhere.

ok, so I'm still overheating after checking everything. I'm convinced its the lack of the Egr. I've come to the conclusion that I just need to add it. My egr block has the threaded output for the tube. So all I need to do is take a tube thread one end, put a flange on the other, drill a
Hole in the back of the s/c intake and attach it. I've never seen one with hole in the back of the manifold. Is there any thing special I'm missing here? Thanks .

I hope this helps...the EGR tube is the one held on with three allen head bolts.

Ugh, EGR + S/C = headaches.

The position of it makes it, in my book, the most difficult area to reach on the VX. Be prepared to cut your hands up and to have a box load of patience ready. It was one thing putting a prefab in, but from scratch, I don't envy you, heh.

Good luck man.

yeah. It doesn't seem that hard. What's gonna be a pain in the *** is just taking the whole thing off to drill and tap the holes. At least I'll be able to finally get that cel light off! I'm also gonna put new O-rings in just to be sure I'm not leaking there! I'll post some pics when I'm done

Remember to order some new intake gaskets from Merlin BEFORE you tear it down...
