96 cobra novi2000 install ?

[yohannas]

so i was installing a paxton novi2000 on my 96 cobra like the title says. im so close to being done but im havin some problems.

first the elbow doesnt seem quite long enough. it goes on but i just worry that itll pop off or somethin. (not that big of a deal)

second its got an anderson power pipe. there is absolutely no room between the supercharger and the fan shroud. even if i was able to cram it in there the plastic part coming off the radiator for the upper radiator hose is in the way so i wouldnt really be able to close the hood.

and where do those three holes coming off the pipe go to? i assume the bigger one with the hose goes to the BOV.

just wonderin if anyone had this prob or know what to do. if they had to cut or fabricate stuff to get it in there.

any help is greatly appreciated. i need my car back.
thanks alot

The elbow will not pop off, just get c-band clamps, they run like 3 bucks a piece they will hold through just bout anything. So no worries there, on the spacing I bet if you force the power pipe on there and maybe make it tighter to the elbow it may make more room in between the fan shroud.

thanks sounds like a good idea. ill check that out and also see what i can do cramming wise.

You need to do some trimming with that Anderson powerpipe.. Do a search on SVTP because there are alot of guys on there that are using Anderson power pipes and were having the same problems as you...
Now for the three holes on the pipe, ones for the bypass valve or blowoff if thats what your using...The other is for the IAC and then the last one goes to the passenger side valve cover...I personally dont use to valve cover one because I was getting alot of oil in the blower and piping. What I did was capped off that spot on the powerpipe and then run a breather up on the passenger side valve cover..
Circled are the three spots...

This is a pic of the breather im using on the passenger side...
