SC-14 Questions

I stuck a SC-14 on my 18rg and I lowered my comp to 7.5:1. I am running the largest pulley to max out the blower speed. I am only getting 7lbs of boost. does anyone know what this blower should be outputting? could there be a problem with the blower? I have eliminated all leaks. the blower runs constant cause I had to take off the clutch.
thank you

What is the pulley ratio, and how does it compare to a 1G-GZE?
Remember the boost pressure will be a function of blower RPM and the engine's volumetric efficiency, so there's no guarantee you'll acheive the same boost pressure as a 1G at the same RPM.

if, as you say in your sig, you have 304/304 cams in an SC motor, i dare say you are blowing half the air out thru an open exhaust valve...
what are your cam specs? what rpm will you rev to?

sorry I changed to 18rgu cams and I am running a huge intercooler and 2.5" pipe through out the system. I am running flattop forged pistons. had the block decked and head milled to get 7.5:1 comp ratio. stock EFI manifold. Ive tried to advance the intake but it moves the powerband down and I loose a little power moved them back to stock and no boost change but revs nicely. retarded exhaust cam and put the intake to stock and gained a little power. no change in boost levels by adjusting the cams. I blew a hole in my intercooler lastnight.

Blew a hole in your intercooler? Did you move the throttle pre-blower, or is it still in its factory location?

The hole in your intercooler suggests it's not so great. 
Both the 4A-GZE and 1G-GZE have the throttle pre-blower. Did it occur to you that Toyota did it this way for a reason?

the guy finally emailed me back and is sending me a new one and it is a little smaller. I think the one I have it too big and I am loosing boost. going to move the stock cams back to TDC. not any power gain by adjusting cams.

S/C seems to be in good shape. I bought the bypass valve brand new and it says I need to cut the inner spring for idle quality. it is a turboxs bypass valve. seems to hold the boost in pretty good.
