Time to get ready for a I/C install.

[got3800.com]

Alright, so ive bought some items that im pretty happy about.

Stage 4 Gen 3 M90 - inlet 75mm, outlet machined for IC
ZZP Stage 3 Gen 3 IC core - Upper Alumnium, Lower Ultem
ZZP Stage 3 FMHE
WBS Gen 1 Elimislip kit
N* Adapter Plate for Gen 3

im not going to be using the N* plate right away but as for the other stuff, as you can see im doing an I/C install. now ive got someone helping me but i want to know from u guys what else im going to need as this is not the "kit"

I have a GM Intercooler pump already and i know i need to get fuel rails but as far as gaskets, hoses, and other mis crap....what do i need? also, what problems have u all ran into as far as doing this install? im wondering what not to do and what to be careful of.

thanks for the help i hope i get!

you will need........
wiring for the pump
20 feet of 3/4 inch heater hose
misc connectors and hose clamps
a way to fill and bleed the system
throttle body gasket
2 s/c gaskets
coolant o-rings
might as well replace the LIM gaskets so add those
coolant elbows
rtv
shim the coil packs
longer s/c belt
make sure PCV is not blocked, might need a breather
open up the LIM to match the IC core
longer s/c bolts
antifreeze
oil and filter to do two oil changes if replacing lim gaskets
i am sure that i am forgetting something........

Ive heard get the hoses from just like home depot or something, is that right or should i do Autozone or something
was thinking about picking up the ZZP filler system, is it worth it or should i just by some sort of materials?
gaskets and o rings all from ZZP?
elbows from Autozone?
not to familar with RTV...any brand better than the other?
what do you mean by shim the coil packs? do they get in the way?
buying a ported LIM with the kit that i forgot to mention
think its coming with bolts
do i get rid of the dexcool here guys or do i continue on with it...ive got that build up on my cap so im thinking i need a coolant system flush anyway...but what do you all use for the intercooler?

only other thing that came to my mind was where do you all wire your pump into? im going to be using the GM pump (as stated) so i dont think i can use a controler....im guessing u just have it on all the time then?
