How many times does this have to be covered? The wiring diagram is in at least 5 of the threads I've posted in. I've posted my own variations of it, so did a few others.

In other words...

i work for cadillac, i don't remember any of them having a supercharger on their engines for the last 20 years or so. you sure it is a supercharger, and that it is off a cadillac? buicks had a small whipple charger on the 3.8L engines, is that what you are talking about? if it is, you almost can't tell there is a charger under the hood but they did have some issues with the vanes wearing and then they will make some odd noises.

I have a compressor w/ bracket to mount in the charcoal cannisters location; and a pnumatic switch to keep +4 PSI in the tank (compressor switches on @4PSI, off@7)... much more than is needed to move the actuators.

Going 4-port, IM me for details

He's not talking about an SC, i'm sure he's talking about an electric airpump.

yes i was asking about the electic air pump. Kenteth as i stated i did search i looked at both methods in the arcive. I have made my own smog pump method and i now want to go semi electical. what slvr7 post in the arcive seems like it is making a full electronic, not using the cadi. pump. And my main Q. was more on how loud the pump is when running because most electric airpumps are quiet loud which one Post that i read stated that it was loud as crap untill you are at WOT then you cant hear it but it was not the Cadi.

So i state my Q. again, how loud is the Cadi. air pump when running,how do i go about wiring it up with a rpm switch.

what slvr7 post dosent seem like it was what i was looking for, so , if that is the correct way let me know and i will stand corrected.

Please if you are just going to say Search just let this post trickle down the page. Becase i am still seaching!!!

I don't know how loud the cadillac air pump is, but I doubt you'll notice it at 4000 rpm, especially if your exhaust is modified in some way.
