    Removing the ROE setup on my car

    Well I have decided to remove the ROE supercharger setup on my car. Been having a few minor issues and we have it pinpointed to be injector issues with cyl 3 and 9. One injector is spraying too much and one is hardly spraying. Talked with ROE racing and said that it's most likely the outdated software and obsolete piggyback control box that's giving me the issue. Rather than spending money on new injectors and still having issues with the current setup I have decided to just pull the system. Looks super cool under the hood but I bought the car with intentions of removing the setup anyway. I'm going to sleep on it one more night but I think my mind is made up. The swap should start next week. Ready to get the ole girl back on her feet.

    I just pulled a Roe off a car. We were using ID1000 injectors vs. the Deka 80s they kits come with. IDs are quite pricey but Dan Lesser tuned the car and preferred the IDs over the Dekas.

    Is that tubing off of your intake tubes the vacuum control for the bypass valve? If so that is a weird setup. That should come directly off the manifold typically.

    You have reply back qc-teky

    And im not sure what tube you mean Dave but everything is exactly how it came from ROE. This setup is the first early setups I believe. I know they had some revisions over the years

    Do the 2 hoses circled in red connect to the thing circled in green? If so, that is unusual. Not denying Sean designed it that way, but I've seen plenty of Roe cars and never that. But then again, maybe they aren't connected to each other lol.

    W/M lines in the RED circles. Green circle is the bybass valve but I can't see the vacuum line in the pic. SHould terminate on a barbed fitting an inch or so away in the manifold base.

    Ohhhhh! The 2 lines coming off the sides of the intake tube circled in red is where the previous owner had the water menthol injection nozzles mounted. But they do not go to the tube that's circled in green

    OK got it. When Dan and I were discussing how to set my car up he was somewhat adamant that W/M was a poor substitute for a properly built platform and that doing so - W/M - was just asking for trouble. So I went other routes per his advise.

    *properly built being defined as crank / rods / pistons / heads supporting the requested hp without a "crutch" i.e. meth.

    I would say most people don't use it based on how may Roes I've seen and no one has ever had W/M. But that's just my experience.

    Sooooooooooooooooo, carry on, meth'ers.

    That's just idiotic. With these SC, the W/M is a huge safety factor and will give extra power even if you don't specifically tune for it. Leaving 50-80 HP on the table without and an increased chance to detonate in higher temps under boost. These SC run hot, W/m for safety

    I’ve been running w/m on mine for 11 years, used for cooling effect only. Not pulling any extra timing and not putting anything at risk if the w/m should fail. However, FWIW in 11 years there’s never been a single hiccup with the w/m. It still works just like it did in the day it was installed.

    Love W/M...for many more reasons than a chemical intercooler....mostly for managing combustion temps and keeping the blower cool as its doing it magic. Heck, Kenny Bell even puts a W/M nozzle bung in the top of its new blower.

    Dan Lesser is not an idiot. I trusted him to make that call about not using meth. My blower also never ran hot i.e. heat soaked after a pull. But that's just my experience with the tuning that Dan developed for me. Individual results will always vary tho. I do get that.

    I didn't say he was an idiot, just his premise was idiotic........... And it is.
