Gettin closer!



I still have a few questions left... first what do I do with all of the barbs on the snout of the supercharger... seems there is an extra one there.

Next, where do most of you guys mount your electric water pump for the blower?

Also, does anyone have any pics of their boost gauge on the back of the maggie manifold? I'd like to see what you are using for the best connection.

A few more updates... slow process but I am getting there. It's hard to find long chunks of time to work on it.

Belt is mounted!


My coolant tank mounted


The Pump mounted from the front


Pump mount from the top


My Dr. X mounted up




Not bad! Getting there slowly. Unfortuantely I am busy tonight so I can't finish up, but I will be back at it tomorrow with the goal of getting her fired up.

Do any of you have pics of which fuse exactly you used for your coolant pump? In the directions they are calling for 'HVAC/IGN' fuse. Does that mean HVAC or IGN fuses? I only see 'HVAC/ecas' or 'RR/HVAC'

I really appreciate all the help guys! Tomorrow I will be finishing the hosing for the coolant, mounting my gauges, and filling the cooling system. I hope it doesnt take too long to bleed it.

You just need to tap it to a " key on " fuse , so the pump runs when key on/engine on

Thanks Tim. I didn't think it would matter so much, but I needed to ask.

The goal is to get it started tonight.

unfortunately didnt get to start it last night. I turned the key and it turns out I had mangled one of the O rings on my injectors so fuel was squirting out everywhere...

by the time I got it all sorted out it was too late to deal with firing it up and wiggling it out of the garage.

The cooling system is all squared away and bled though... its working awesome. It really creates a vortex inside that small tank!

I have a pretty big pulley on there for this build at 3.2" but I'm really excited to get this thing back on the road finally

Your going to want a HD tensioner if you start dropping pulley sizes and a RIP cut pulley to help keep from getting belt slip. What kinda boost you shooting for?
