I got my YS and started installing it today. I just need to do some minor trimming to make it fit better. I might have to get rid of the stock steel hood and get one with a lil more hight.

I would be conerned about putting the maff before the blower
With the Bypass being after the blower it has the potential of not reading correctly
I would put the maff after the Blowoff/bypass so it meters air going into the throttle body thus into the engine

Nice to see another YS/YSi LS1 coming together, tell us more!

As long as the metered air is recirculated (bypassed) and not vented to atmosphere (blow off) it will run correctly. Im also curious as to whether relocating the MAF post blower and venting to atmosphere would be beneficial though. Ive heard that having the MAF preblower and using a bypass keeps more stock like drivability, whatever that means.

On the vortech setup, its next to impossible to put the maf as a blowthrough setup.

using the maf as its pictured is fine, as the air is vented post blower, but comes back to the intake track after the maf, so your not losing metered air.

Did you get this from RMCR? I know that they just sent one out. My car is down there getting a new blower and I saw them putting a YS kit together. Just curious...

Yes it is from RMCR, the only thing they forgot to give me was the hose peice to connect the blower to the 90 degree pipe, figures they are closed till monday.

Wooohoooo, I got my YSi today too. Still have loads to do though before Im up and running. there were oil lines with mine, but no tap for the sump. The drill etc was there for drilling it though ?? W

JS I race I just dont go public with track times. I cant win any money that way.

What did you pay for the blower/bracket setup?

I'll do one of 3 things with mine, add spray, go to a nice YSI or dump it all and build a turbo setup
The top mounted Vortech head units make for tight routing but it's not to hard to do. But you'll probably have to create a new discharge pipe to do it.
The biggest benefit of the maf post blower is a MUCH cooler running head unit and about a 40' IAT temp load removed from the intercooler at cruise. Recirculating the hot compressed air just is not a good thing. Letting the bypass dump to atmosphere keeps a constant cool supply of air flowing through the blower. The head unit runs a great deal cooler that way ,which is always good.
I also think throttle response is better with it post blower.
In the spring I'll probably begin a 2 bar SD tune and do away with the maf altogether.

i thought the aftercooler wasn't rated for the ysi blower. That is something i' d like to down the road.

i agree on the Aftercooler. you will definately have a restriction with the aftercooler. i fought the idea untill i really did my research and went with a FMIC. the last thing you want is a restriction from your intercooling system. the aftercooler is good to about 500 hp tops. it will work but you are going to have to spin the blower harder to make the same power.

I got the kit from RMCR, they have made over 650hp on the same setup as mine. They are also making a different aftercooler and I will be one of the 1st to have one. my car dyno'd well over 500 hp with the aftercooler and the G-trim. My G-trim would only make 7lbs of boost and that was with the 2.50 pulley. Im sure the YS should have no problem making 18-20lbs. flowing twice the CFM. I thought of doing a FMIC and I dont want to hack up the front of my car, plus its harder to get a race when they see a huge hole in the front bumper cover and a big *** intercooler there.

I will be getting it tuned in a few weeks we'll see how it works out.

That aftercooler worked ok for my T-Trim at 12psi/650rwhp @ 1100-1200cfm.
I'd like to see the limit of it. Let us know how it works out.

Mike, what pulley combo will you be running? Are you running the 8.00" base kit crank setup? Also, any idea what size belt you will be running? What cubes are your motor?

keep us updated on the aftercooler, a YSi is something I;d like to do waaayyy down the road.

I have the base kits crank pulley on it. I have a 2.95 pulley on the blower. Im not sure as to how much boost it will make, but Marc from RMCR said it should be around 18-20ish. on my combo. the belt # is k080600. My motor is stock cubes built by Merkel Racing engines. It has a set of (hard to come by) Absolute 6.0l heads. my comp is 9.2 to 1. I have a T400 with a 4000 vig and 3.73 gears.I have FLP headers and im planning on going to Kooks for a custom x pipe and true duals. Im running a sumped tank with an aremotive eliminator pump. 50lb injectors. Im just waiting on a hose piece and my amw catch can. Then its going to get retuned.
