4agze --> SuperCharger will not power up/ Boost

[Okami]

WOW

I just got back yesterday from a garage to start testing my 4aGZE and it worked like a charm!

Then I drove my friend back to Nijmegen - all of a sudden from Nijmegen I lost power of the SC...

I have found out that the SC is spinning when I floor it but there is no boost - no kick - no nothing...

WTF?

[danielvanderwoude]

how did you found out the SC is spinning?

lean mixeture?

[Okami]

I had my girlfriend look and video the engine when I was standing still.
So it does spin when I feather the throttle but it wont build up boost.

I also have a very good FMIC and yesterday it worked fine until later that day when going back home.

I have no idea what it is.
I personally think it's the clutch because it does not want to engage for the boost.

Or maybe I have a leak (Cant find it anywhere).
It could also be the Relay but I am not handy enought to sort that out.

I dont have a lambda sensor on it yet... but from day one everything worked fine.
Since yesterday I have driven more than 1000km's to break in the engine (eventho its not new) and so yesterday with the FMIC installed I tried boosting it a bit for the first time short boosts... NO PROBLEM and its super!!! I am really happy!!! But now it doesnt wanna boost anymore and I have been gentle.

Most likely the clutch or relay that's acting up.. get yourself a boostgauge, works so much easier when you can see what it's actually doing.

I am broke - so I ain't gonna buy something first and then see whats happening. I know the answer of that I know its not working.
It's now finding out WHAT is causing this.

I am trying to save money for a boost gauge - oil temp - and some other stuff in the near future.

[Okami]

Okay... Wow...

All of a sudden it worked again... I have no idea why...

I just brought my wifey to her workplace and bam in 3rd gear it went up again... 4th and 5th as well and 1st and 2nd gear where soon to follow.

Let's hope it keeps working!

Thanks guys!

Like I said, most likely an electrical problem. Mechanical things never fix themselves.

[Okami]

So yeah...

Today was a pretty shitty day for me... Not only was it waaay too sunny for me BUT my supercharger died AGAIN! This time during drifting.

I went drifting today on a wet track at Driftsport.nl
And all of a sudden I was not sliding anymore like WTF?
I checked my tires etc. but couldn't find anything.
Then all of a sudden it hit me... No more supercharger whine OMG
I was so concentrated on drifting hahaha lol...

So 2 people came to help me and looked at the electrical plug of the supercharger and we used a volt meter when leaving the car IDLE and there was no power.
We think its the Relays (Relais) screwing with me...

Tell me if this could be true or should I have feather with the gas-peddle when at idle to see the volts?
I mean when gassing at round 2 / 3000 rpm should only then the plug work with power?
