RKSport/Powerdyne Supplied Parts List

 

 

General:

 

Powerdyne BD11A internal belt driven centrifugal super charger w/ smooth 3.12” (6psi) pulley

 

RKSport main blower mounting plate;

    2 threaded rod mounting bolts (with spacers and hex nuts) and 1 ‘S’ shaped mounting bracket with hex bolt.

 

Blower intake:  3.5” 90 degree rubber elbow, 3.5” 90 degree metal elbow, cone filter

 

Blower discharge: 3” rubber coupler, custom 3” discharge tubing, 3.5” rubber coupler for throttle body, rubber IAT sensor grommet

      Assorted hose clamps

 

RKSport belt tensioner Bracket and tensioner pulley:

    2 mounting bolts with spacers

    Replacement Serpentine belt (105”)

 

Replacement 6 ribbed idler pulley

 

Vortech 6/1 ratio FMU:

     Supplied with ¼” high pressure fuel hoses and unknown connectors.  (they should be one male and one female gm quick disconnect fittings) (Also note that the ¼” hoses are incorrect…they should be 5/16”…have fun replacing connectors.)

     Vac hoses

     One way check valve:  This little thingy blocks ‘vacuum’ pressure from reaching the fmu.  Think of it as helping to keep the FMU pressurized (positive boost) while shifting gears.

 

Oil pressure sender relocate fitting.  This should be a 45 degree male/female 3/8” npt fitting.

 

 

The most popular items for people to ‘lose’ when selling their Powerdyne kit are:

   The 45 degree oil pressure sender elbow, (buy local auto parts store  or HERE… )  the IAT sensor grommet www.gmpartsdirect.com # 24504388 and the ‘S’ shaped mounting bracket.  (make your own)    Some people also seem to lose the one way check valve. (napa) part number 7301347

 

 

Basic differences between the two model year kits:

 

 

1993-97:  Crane ignition timing retard module:  This is spliced into your ignition control system and it overrides PCM to retard timing based on BOOST LEVEL and a slectable number on the unit.  It has a dial that retards 2 degrees per every ‘click’ on the dial for every one pound of boost.  Most everyone skips installing this unit and relies on premium grade fuel (92 octane) as well as colder spark plugs  (ngk tr6 gapped at .035)  when running the 6psi pulley.  If upgrading to a smaller pulley and running greater than 6psi then timing should most likely be altered. (retarded)  This can be done with an external device such as the crane module or with tuning software.

 

     BD11A blower unit mounted with the scroll pointed sideways.  (horizontally)  Kit includes a metal discharge tube specifically made for the angled throttle body.

 

 

 

1999=2001:  Crane TRC1(?)  This is a different timing retard module than supplied with the earlier model year kit.  They are not compatible with each other.  The basic ignition systems and PCM’s are somewhat different between the two basic L36 model year groups.  The same goes for this unit as well….you don’t really need it if running 6psi or less and using 92 octane fuel and colder ngk tr6 spark plugs.  It is just another link in the system that could fail or cause random problems with the ignition system.  Extremely high temp regions such as southern desert may need to retard timing due to high intake air temperatures, however.

 

BD11A blower unit mounted with the scroll pointed straight up.  (vertically)  Kit includes a metal discharge tube specifically made for the straight throttle body.

 

 

Things to remember to buy for the big install:

 

Teflon thread tape (oil pressure sender)

Small Zip ties… for running/securing vac lines as well as custom vac line crimp collars.

Throttle body gasket (for performing TB PCV plug mod)

RTV silicone sealer

Two extra hex nuts for ‘doubling up’ on the main blower mounting plate.

Thin steel plate for oil filter guard while installing blower.

Fuel injection rated hose clamps for any rubber fuel hose modifications.  Use the appropriate size…3/8” for feed lines and 5/16” for return lines.
