Wiring up the gauges today coming along until the rain.





Taking my time and weather has been crapping on my parade but coming along nice.

 

Gauges are in and all wires run through drivers side rubber grommet. Need to put a little silicone over it in case rains gets near that spot. Happy with progress so far.



Where is everyone hooking up there boost tubing too? The nipple on the front left of the Plenum can be used right?

 

yea, i think that's where mine is T-ed off at as well. Same AEM and 2 prosport set up (boost and oil pres for me). I just have mine mounted on top of the right side of the oem speedo housing/dash.

 

yes t off of the nipple on the front of the plenum

 

Do i really need to t off of it though? What else would i use this for on a SC build. I have heard on turbos people t but not sure what i would need too.

 

its been too long i dont have the car anymore and havent had it in a while.... i think i had to t-off so that one line could run to the bpv and so that one line could run to the boost gauge. the bpv works off of vacuum...like i said its been too long though so dont quote me...

 

That actually will make sense i will do a little more research on it.

 

Should i have a problem if not actually driving the car if i install the fuel injectors and new fuel pump? Just want to check my work before sending it to tuner car wont be drove just want to make sure everything hooked up correct.

 

Well been a busy last few days and a lot of errors i will tell you what. Was able to over come them and get the fuel injectors installed as well as the new plugs put in. Getting the intake plenum back together that was a new story lol. None the less onto the next thing and learning alot as i go.

Did this to the one bolt with too much torque. Be careful on these bolts they break if given too much torque so make sure to use a torque wrench.

 

Great work so far. I'm considering the same build on my 2006 coupe so I'm going to follow your thread. I live in Nazareth so I'm also interested in the kind of numbers RT Tuning will get with the Osiris tune. Keep us up to date on when you are ready to go get tuned.

 

Nazareth nice know a few people from out that way actually. Got some more work done and just need to bolt down the mounting bracket and supercharger is in. Then fuel pump and im all ready for my tune day AUG 30th.
Boost gauge hooked up used T from the Upper Plenum

 

Making nice progress.

Your intake/charge pipe is not aligned correctly and needs to be positioned closer to shock tower for SC clearence.

Suggest you reposition the High Press AC line in front of shock tower to prevent damage to tubing.

Good luck with rest of install.

 

^that.
You should also wrap your blower dain line with a vac line or somthing so it won't rub a hole in the ac line.
It took about 4k miles till mine ate thru

 

I will have a look at it. You think the pipe that goes to the sc isn't aligned properly? I didn't play around with it too much. Thanks for the comments is it easy to move that line cause I moved it a bit didn't want to break it.

 

yea that top pipe is gonna have to come down but that can happen once the blower is in..

i personally would have put the blower in toward the beginning of the install..

i never did anything with my ac lines and never had a problem, i might have bent them a tiny bit but nothing major. if the pipes are aligned correctly then there should be no issue...
