1. water pump wiring kit.... The orange wire goes to the pump's red wire, and the yellow wire goes to a +12v ignition tap. The one that I have always used is the "accessory tap" drop-down that is located under the glovebox. Deep under the dash right under the dash, is a 3-wire tap that GM put down there... one is ground, one is power, and I believe the pink wire is labeled as the 12v ignition.
2. intercooler flow.... starting from the Cool Can (easy starting point) the bottom outlet routes to the TOP inlet of the water pump. Remember that the water pump inlet/outlet should be placed towards the headlight, which the motor pointed towards the wheel.
the bottom outlet of the pump will then route up the driver side fenderwell and all the way along the firewall/STB. You will then route the hose above the alternator and down into a 90-degree fitting
into the IC core. the IC outlet will then get another 90 fitting and should be pointed towards the coilpacks. The hose will go on the inside of the coilpacks (towards the motor) and then go straight down by the radiator close to the battery.
You will then have to make the hose go down and then back straight up in fornt of the radiator and into the heat exchanger. Remember that the inlet to the H.E. should be up high and be on the pass-side.
The outlet on the H.E. should be real low and on the driver-side.
the outlet of the H.E. will now go around the plastic splashguard and straight up into the side of the Cool Can.
Make sure to have the Cool Can filled at least halfway.
MAKE SURE to measure all the hosing BEFORE cutting it. Honestly, I would highly recommend buying a real cheap garden hose or real cheap rubber hosing at the autoparts store that is close to the same diameter, and then use this as your test. You can cut this stuff up and use as test-fitting. Then use it as a "ruler" for the lengths you need for the real hose.
Ill get some pics if you need them. Also, for the hood, itll be the area directly above the boost bypass valve. I couldnt close my hood at first, so i made a hole where stey said to in the thrasher intercooler install, it worked, i ran my car, then tried to poen the hood... it got stuck on the bypass. i had my brother hit the gas as i opened the hood. its a pretty bug hole, that now has toi get cleaned up
I was going to come by yesterday to meet up with Joel for some ICCU tuning, bt never got a call back. Id be down for going out there. I learned a lot when Blitzu helped/did my install. Now Ican confidently take off the top of my motor.
Give me a call or email me
