use lock tight and make sure you check the line up of the compressor housing

if this is something that your experiencing others most likely are as well call them up and see what they suggest I know they do make engineering changes to alot of thier stuff quite frequently and the feedback is valueable

the red is kinda like perma glue , LOL


and the blue isnt for permanent locking , it stays softer to allow for removal


thats kinda the easiest way to put it

what about using longer bolts? maybe they are just to short and all the threads aren't engaging.... just an idea... and the lock tight too

Call ARP, they will email you a custom order sheet and fill it out to what you need.

Ask for the ARP Studs after you fax the order back and use their compound.

The should never shift on you again if you use a set of ARP studs.

Thats if you can't repair it with good ol Blue Loctite.

RED = Forever
BLUE = Removable
GREEN = Weak, kinda like spitting on the bolt

i installed it my self i had to modify the lower bracket by grinding a notch into it so that it would fit over some of the fins on the transmission........... i did like it until it broke yesterday

i think the shaft broke

Install can be done in 6-8 hours. The hardest part is tapping the oil pan.

A header and full exhaust is recommended but not necessary.

Expect gains of 40-60 HP on 5-8PSI depending on how you tweak it.

I've had the Votech SC on my car for 2 months and over 5000 miles
and its runninglike a dream.

I've seen just shy of 9PSI on a few occasions on a cool night up here in Canada,

Now at 9PSI I was right before the redline and it was inssane.

I'm sure you'll be happy with the RSM Supercharger.

borg

there is no need to tap the oil pan in the 2.2 2200 with the rsm supercharger......

in the kit there is a t that installs into where your oil pressure switch goes then the oil switch goes into there and the oil feed line too

rsm say gains of 65hp


oh nick you need to buy injectors,,,,,,, i got mine from venom they modified my stock ones
