FedEx man came about 1:00 PM and I got started this afternoon after work. Brackets, thermo housing, charger, intercooler, belt, tensioner, tune uploaded, and a bunch of other stuff done. Now just a lot of plumbing to do:
Came with a 4.63 pulley installed. Boosty!
The Procharger is on the truck for delivery tomorrow. Getting ready for the install. Had a friend install MMR billet OPG's and Crack Sprocket on Saturday and picked it up today. Some pictures that below. Brought the car home about 1:00 PM and let her cool off, then started on the prep.
As...
This is the plan I am going to go with. I am going to see if Adrian can sell me an extra flange along with the cat delete pipes. Thanks.
BTW, the Procharger shipped yesterday and will arrive via FedEx on Monday. OPG/CS go in on Saturday. I have the plugs, BAP, and boost gauge already...
In the 12 counties that make up the Atlanta metro area, you have to get an annual emissions inspection. On late model cars they are looking for MIL being on and codes being generated but are supposed to visually inspect that the cats are present (not that I have ever seen them check). For now...
I am a performance guy. Like having a lot of added power, better handling, braking drive-ability while keeping it looking stock-ish. kind of a common them on all the stangs passed...
I had the stock S550 ball on mine with their stock ball adapter. I since changed it to the GT350 knob (the CJPP one with the S550 threads) and it worked with the same stock know adapter. Looks and works much better, IMO.
Car is a 2016 GT Premium with Performance Pack. (M6, 3.73, Torsen, etc). New set-up consists of:
Procharger Stage II kit
P1-X head unit with helical gear set
Pullied for 11 PSI
ID1050X Injectors
VMP Plug and Play BAP
Brisk spark plugs
UPR Procharger Catch Can set-up
Lund 93 Octane...
I don't know anything about the Roush BAP, but I just installed the VMP Plug and Play BAP. It has only the adapter the plugs in line with the FDMM Harness and a ground wire. It has no boost reference or throttle reference.
The instructions say that the tuner needs to adjust the flow rate...
Installer recommend that I get the kit in case any of the stock gaskets was damaged or broken in the process. It was $70 from LMR. Cheap insurance I guess.
So I have received most of the supporting parts to go with my Stage II P1-X kit, but waiting for the shipment from Procharger. Here is what I have so far:
- EB PP Center Gauge Set (installed this morning)
- Brisk Spark Plugs
- ID 1050X Injectors
- VMP Plug and Play BAP
- UPR Procharger catch...
I have quotes from two local guys from the Atlanta s500 Facebook group both are really reasonable and have also quoted installing the procharger. I will be picking one of these guys once I have all the parts in transit and can work out a schedule.
Thanks all. After ordering I started to study up on OPG/CS replacements and if they were needed. Decided that doing it up front was better than paying for a new motor later. I ordered the MMR gears and sprocket from Beefcake today. Also picked up a Eco-boost PP center gauge unit that...
I had planned on going FI right after I bought my 2016 CO GT PP a year ago, but kept putting it off. Today I decided to finally pull the trigger. Decided to go with a centrifugal for a lot of reasons and could not beat the deals that Team Beefcake had.
I went with a Beefcake Special Stage 2...
Added a GT350R steering wheel, red start button and a GT350 shift knob. Got the rethreaded CJPP knob which fit the stock knob adapter on my MGW shifter perfectly.
Not much love for the CO lately, so here is some from me:
Yesterday was 1 year since I bought the car on June 10 2016. Cleaned it up nice and grabbed a couple pics to celebrate the anniversary....
There is a seller on ebay who is moving excess inventory of the Magnaflow Street cat-back for $859 shipped. These are new in the box and actually are shipped from the Magnoflow warehouse. I bought one a year ago at this price which is a bargain compared to most. Not the loudest or most...
