Well glad it is going smoother than the previous abortion. Looking forward to getting behind the wheel and seeing what she'll do.
I have like 3 weeks of sick time and I never use them.....ever....even when im really sick.
Im not rushing either, its just going smoothly, unlike the last procharged abortion I worked on.
No its way bigger, needs new mounts fabbed, probably will need the bumper to be removed to make said mounts and will need the piping completely re-worked. Its not close to 'bolt-on'
The last car I did made 595 but had a BAP already installed so i left it. No indication of fuel starvation.
This car wont make as much power so no need for the BAP.
To answer your question, I don't know....I don't think anyone knows.
Lots of progress today.
Stainless Works FTW.
Here is the best piece of hardware....ever. A serrated flanged nut in SS for the header studs. Got em at Bolt Depot - Nuts and Bolts, Screws and Fasteners online
Here is my modified 170* stat. Homemade with the spring from a Stant 13967. Grind off one tab, swap springs then tack it back on. 9 dollars vs. 60 from Lethal. Win
Got this far. Have to start on the intercooler brackets soon.

Damn, did you even take a break to pee or did you just continue and wet yourself?
I know I just wet myself seeing all that work accomplished today. And seeing the stainless steel headers and your t-stat trick, I am spent, time to go change my Depends.
Looking forward to the pipe work for the Procharger.:toast:

Pretty much at a standstill. I have to get standoffs welded to the top and brackets welded on the bottom. ....and the welder isn't free til Thursday.
Exhaust is done and ill bolt the blower and belt Tuesday.
After that I have to figure out the piping, order piping, wait for piping....you get the drift.

Always good to hear the words "Going better than planned" The air filter placement going to be in roughly the same location, or is it going to be a direct mount to the supercharger?
Same spot, I just have to.weld a 3.5" pipe extension to the power pipe since the lightning MAF is no longer used..
I would use a filter right on the blower but the stock fan shroud makes that impossible.
Just ordered the last of the parts.
When shopping for T Bolt clamps, I suggest getting them from Air to Water Intercooler.
They are $2.60 a piece there vs. the 5-7 dollars at Jegs.
The quality is not quite as good as Jegs, but this car isnt making 30psi so they do the trick.

Just a grandpa car with a vacuum leak.
No one seems to have 1/4"
Anyway, got everything welded tonight.
Sorry for the lack of pics, but I promise Saturday and especially Sunday will be chocked full of progress pics.
I should be nearing completion Sunday if the welds are gas-tight.
Its nearing completion!
Re-did all the pipes and had the stock fuel rails modified for a return style configuration.
To my amazement the rails did not leak, and there are 6 different places I had them welded.
I also mounted the catch can behind the drivers side foglight. I had the catch can here that I never used, and it fit good after I made a special bracket to mount it.
The intercooler fits like a glove and currently has top brackets only. I will install the lower brackets soon. You will see I had brackets welded to the bottom and 2 standoffs on the top.
The BOV was located in the area behind the passenger fog light.
Enjoy the pics.
