Rotrex Super Charger Install

Postby Jaxom_2 » Fri Dec 17, 2010 4:19 pm

Just wondering if anyone in here has done a Rotrex S/C install with an Adaptronic ECU.
Just after some tips or ideas on the install & setup. I've worked on motors before but this is my first go at forced induction configurable ECU.

I have a supercharged car with an Adaptronic + plug in loom. My advice would be to run the MAP wiring from the plug in loom instead of butchering wiring in the car's loom. I have my MAP sensor tucked away with the Adaptronic as I have to run a vac line into the cabin for a boost gauge anyway. The vac line length isn't an issue - a lot of earlier Haltechs etc would run with the MAP sensor on board.

You will need an aftermarket air intake temp sensor and you'll want it just before the throttle (after intercooler if using one).

Good luck!

Thanks for that Saboteur!
Just the sort of info I am after, I have a short intake fitted now and I am using the factory intake temp sensor in the fitting in 90deg bend, I intend to use the same bend to fit the inter-cooler pipework.
