Vacuum for catch can.







New fuel pump waiting to go in...

innovate LC1


prosport boost/vacuum gauge


boost/wideband/fuelpressure
was waiting on a part for the fuel pressure to work in this pic.



still have some work to do. i still ahve to wire my radiator fan, install the fuel pump, run a vacuum line for the BOV... i have the pipe and flange being welded right now. Gotta purchase a new MAF since mine is ****. and still gotta pick up a 2-bar map sensor and some oil. but its coming together. im hoping to get it tuned next weekend...

Just remember that the MAF needs to go AFTER the BPV. You'll have serious issues if it doesn't. Mine is right after the blower discharge, before the intercooler.

it is after the bpv. it goes blower>intercooler>BPV>MAF>TB.

Ok...just checking...didn't see it in the pic very well. I would consider moving it down stream a little further from the MAF though.

I would have but I really didn't have any room. damn thing is huge lol. maybe I'll just flip the tube around.

I would look at placing the BOV between the blower and the intercooler. Placing it down below will clean up the engine bay (if you care about that) and there is no sense in cooling the air if all you are going to do is then vent it to atmosphere.

Thanks for the pics. I will be building a kit like this soon so this really helps me out. I have a few questions i hope you don't mind answering.

Is that the cxracing 31x12x4 intercooler with 3"in/outlets? (curious cause that is what i'll be using) Is that the pipe kit that comes with the intercooler?

I know i have seen others with fmic only use the top two bolts to hold the intercooler, is that all you really need? just doesn't seem like much holding it in place. I guess the pipes will keep it from moving as well. It seems like some of the fmic builds i have seen they are actually cutting out that center piece where your intercooler supports are bolted to, does anyone know why they do this? Is it to increase air flow?

Since you have built this yourself, do you think you could use a longer intercooler? I was wondering if i could fit a longer intercooler in there as i have a camaro, and was hoping the core part of the intercooler would be long enough to spread edge to edge on the bumper opening. This way i wouldn't have to cut out the center section of my bumper.

I already have the pipe welded up for it's current location. And it's a good lookin BOV so I wanted to show it off under the hood. And I wanted to keep it out of the elements...

Yes i used the cx racing intercooler kit. as far as mounting it. I went to my local hardware store and bought some angle iron and an aluminum pipe along with bolts and lock washers. I drilled 2 holes per side for mounting the angle iron to the bumper and placed the spacers underneath to make the IC sit level. I used the bolts from the kit to mount the IC to the angle iron. As far as going wider. I wouldn't. I wish I would of tucked my charge piping in closer. my front bumper hits my piping on the sides. It still mounted up. Just needed some elbow grease. Your going to have to cut ur bumper though. It won't fit if you don't.

can you elaborate more? where do you have to cut the bumper to make the intercooler work?

thanks again for the help!

On my TA I had to trim the foglight buckets alot. And I had to curbing the license plate area obviously. I had to trim a little on the under side to the right so my bumper wouldn't hit the charge pipe. I'm not sure what the back side of the camaros bumper looks like but you'll have to cut an opening so air can get to the IC.

if thats a bbk intake make sure you loctite the bolts for the plate undernieth it, otherwise they will loosen up and you will be chasing a boost leak like I did. gages look sweet!

LOL! Ditto. I'd go one further. I'd remove the brittle neoprene "type" gasket, replace it with RTV and then loctite all the bolts.

iTrader: (11)

Haha ya. Thanks guys. I think I gotta pull it off n e way to install my 2-bar map. I think i made a stay for mine so it wouldn't move. While it's off I'll RTV that bottom piece and loctite them bolts.

I picked up 25rwhp from switching from the PP Intake to the LS6. IAT's dropped big time. I would switch it over if you can.

I have the bbk not the pp. Imma keep it for now. I paid $470 for it. Imma use it lol
