Procharger Stage 2 Install

[gqneon]

Next question is... since you've all done this a time or 2. What's the best way to not make a mess?

I'd rather not drain all the fluid again. I was thinking about siphoning it out into a bucket and clamping and disconnecting the lines. That work?

I popped the bottom hose off while holding tank up high and poured it into a funnel with a hose running to my coolant pan (clean)

Off to the store to get a coolant pan. Thanks!

I used Teflon tape and clamped it down tight

Hey guys, since you're all Procharger experts in here.

Did you install your coolant lines into the Procharger coolant reservoir with teflon tape? Or just torque em down real good metal to metal? Or some other way?

Blue loctite works like a charm

I took the reservoir off. Rather than remove all the fittings and re-tape, I decided I'd try just torquing them down further first and go from there.

I tossed it in the vise and wrenched it down good.

With the little nipples, I started here:



And ran 'em in to here:



For the large lower fitting, it started here:



And I drove it in to here:



It took a tremendous amount of torque to get it down that far but I had to line it up properly of course.

I re-installed it, but it's a little late to do any leak testing so I will update tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the advice!

Yeah that's about all you will get with driving those things down. I'm sure that probably did it. I didn't want to damage the threads on mine but had no choice but to risk over torquing it because it wouldn't stop leaking.

Well 98% of the surging is gone. I am running the 11-14 intake and drilled out the rear brake booster port that is blocked on the Mustang intake. I ran that dedicated line to the surge valve and ran the brake booster off the front of the intake.

Now onto the timing and knock but I don't think I have too much cause with all the nannies off this thing is stupid fast and out of control in the first 3 gears.

Time for a dyno appt.

Dropped the car off this AM for the fuel system install. They are going to toss the car on the dyno to see what the pre E85 numbers are... will keep you guys updated.

Any idea for install cost?

Good stuff, I'm glad your surging is gone and the surge valve relocation send to have an affect. I have from bits to open up that rear port on my manifold but I just figured vacuum is vacuum.

Sent me a pic of the front of your manifold vacuum routing if you can, please. I didn't feel like I had mine right. With the stock manifold on, I run vacuum lines just like Procharger says.

With my 11-14, I ran my brake booster to the pc manifold tee.

But when I checked the line from the stock manifold to the brake booster line, I noticed that the stock manifold has a line that runs to the back of the 15 manifold. I tried to force air through that line by blowing on it and trying to suck air through it, and nothing. Is there a check valve in it, or is that line blocked too? I was trying to pop the hose off to look in there but for sidetracked and didn't finish.

It feels weird to block off the line to the brake booster, seems pretty important

can always run breathers.

On the brake booster?

Can't get pics till I am off work. I think there is a lot of turbulence at the front of the intake which I am thinking disrupts the vacuum to the surge valve.

My setup is exactly like this.

1. Rear port of the 11-14 intake is plumbed directly to the surge valve. Nothing else.

2. Front driver's side port is plumbed to the brake booster. Nothing else.

3. Both valve covers are plumbed to the blower inlet tube with a catch can on the passenger side.

4. Passenger side port on the front of the intake is capped.

Very clean and simple. No vacuum manifold is used.

I might put the vacuum manifold back in to run a mechanical boost gauge for some testing but will be capped off under normal circumstances. I will introduce it off of the back port that runs to the surge valve.

I would probably plumb 3 to where 4 is. I don't run the inlet anymore, just a filter, or run breathers, hmm.
