Magnuson Supercharger Clean Up

[FLIPmeOVER]

This is bad news bears. how do you take your intercooler apart to find out ? and then do you take the plenum apart?

what happens if oil was to get into the engine?

Don't take your intercooler apart. I doubt any Magnuson S/C has been on the road long enough to foul the intercooler with oil. My project here is to jump ahead of that issue and improve air-fuel, vacuum and PCV in prep for a custom tune.

PCV is specifically designed TO introduce oil from crankcase gases into the engine and burn it to eliminate the emissions from the environment. It works fine for naturally aspirated engines. But we've added forced induction and larger injectors. We need to run 93 octane fuel at the high cylinder pressures that come with S/C or turbo boost. Why 93 octane? Because there isn't a higher octane out there. When under boost I am guessing that intake vacuum increases above stock. The increased vacuum likely exceeds the PCV system design and draws more oil than intended. The increased crankcase gasses and oil affect air-fuel mix and thus octane.
