Mr. FedEx just arrived...

Install has started. Still have not received my initial FI tune from Lund, so I'm not going to be in any kind of rush.



Agreed, those two bolts are a real PITA and I did not see a real easy way to get to those without removing the tires and liner, so that's what I did.

Took about a hour to get the fascia off, but, like I said, just going to take my time.

Well, screwed off long enough, time to get back at it.

Don't forget the aluminum anti seize on the spark plug threads.

The hoses were the pita for me but very doable.

Very curious about the remote tune, PLEASE keep us updated on that as well....

Who the hell was the masochist that designed the sound tube fire wall mount :frusty:. Left it to do last!

It came with a 3.85. Called Procharger and they are sending a 3.7 to replace it. Should be here Monday/Tuesday.

All I've got currently is a Catback.

With one of these, it is quite simple.

You can get them for a lot less, that was just the first picture I found.

This, literally takes a good hard pull and you are done. No need to stick your hand back there.

Yea.

Taking a little break, mid to high 80's, high humidity and no air movement in the garage, except for a small fan.

For the time being, I separated the air tube at the canister by slightly opening the crimp clamp. I'll plug the end and tuck up under the k-brace out of sight. Trying to keep this install, 100% reversible.

FYI for anyone that will be doing this install. I was concerned with the radiator hose being pretty tight up against the fan housing after installing the hose adapter. This is actually alleviated further into the install with new radiator brackets that will pull the radiator fwd about a inch. I'd think that Procharger would have this as a note in the instructions.

Go ahead and trim the coolant reservoir hose about 1/2 - 3/4 " to alleviate some (if not all) of the hose contact at the procharger compressor inlet hose.

I'll be wrapping up later today, just have to tighten some things down, install injectors and plugs. I'll put the fascia on after I know everything is ok.

Question, I'd like to get it out of the middle of the garage. Is it ok to crank an maneuver at idle? I still haven't received my tune from Lund. If it's ok to do this, I should probably wait on installing the injectors?

 

[Sal GT]

As long as you have stock injectors/tune (it will idle fine) and all coolant hoses are connected. I would do it. I drove my car withOUT the dedicated belt for about 10-15 miles and it drove like stock. -- dont ask about the belt. Haha

 

[GHOSTRACER]

Well, other than the injectors, plugs, tune and fascia, done. I fired her up to move her and she's stumbling and surging. Shut her down. Either she doesn't want to run without the tune or I've got a vacuum leak somewhere :(.

 

[Sal GT]

I wouldnt worry. She will fire right up once everything is installed and double checked
