thanks for that link/write up, that looks like a very good way to do it, im not going to be running ps and was thinking the best way was to run a electric waterpump. i think im going to borrow your idea. thanks

 

took me weeks of brain storming and many of different brackets, tensioners etc to get it. However i do owe BOB@EPP a beer for givin a few pics and the idea of where his was mounted. Take the idea and use it, its a real solid mount!

 

and then you just have the alt in the stock f body brackets?

 

yup, all stock stuff.

 

good progress, i can't wait to see the car finished.

 

Did I see that right? Your selling the Procharger setup now?

 

dont think he said anything about selling the procharger

 

Its in the classifieds

 

just checked his recent posts and i didnt see any thread for that lol

 

blah blah blah, lol, i guess technically it was for sale. Reason being is im in the middle of buying a house right now so a little extra cash wouldnt hurt. But no need to now and just bought a set of 2" KOOKS for it so now im invested more into it so its here to stay. Im in the process of getting the intercooler mounted and cold side pipes installed. This week ill have the headers installed and most of the cold side done. Its gonna be a project to mount the intercooler since i cut out sooo much stuff so ill have to make a pretty decent piece to hold it. Plus in the middle of my move i fucked up my griffin radiator so i have another one on order!

On the other hand i got the trans installed, 3800 Vig. converter, TCI flexplate, Lokar dipstick, driveshaft installed. So the drivetrain is all in the car so its pretty close. After this intercooler is done all i need is fuel and spark and i can fire it. Ill get some more pics up as i get um!

 

awesome you need to bring this thread back to life! lol ill be waitin

 

Ah ok. I just noticed it. Thought you might have gone back to turbo. Put some pics up of this.

 

How did you clean the engine bay before you painted it. Im guessing pressure wash???

 

Lookin good!!!! Hope to see it at the track this yr!!!

 

it was clean to start with so i just scuffed it up with a green scotch pad and sprayed away

thanks, its been a lot of work. Finishing up the cold side and intercooler mounting and it will be all done. Then put my headers in and all i need is spark n fuel!

 

Got some work done here guys. Got all my cold side pipes done, used some of the stock bends from the kit but had to shorten some here and make some longer because i have my intercooler in a different spot from where procharger wants you to put it and welded a bung in for the IAT. For the intercooler bracket i used angle iron to keep it from flexing upwards or sideways. Afterwards i made a "cage" around the intercooler then welded it all together. It only weighs 3lbs and can withstand a tornado!! I POR15 the support bracket and will POR15 the cold side stearling silver then install it and check it off the list. I have my headers ill get in after i get my rearend back from getting narrowed from MWC.


Sorry for the pics, there from my phone.....

 

Looking good!

Thanks man, its been a long road but it seems like its finally coming together. My reasrend is out and getting narrowed 2in on each side, welded the holes shut on my valve covers and got a few more tricks I'm doin. Ill post up more info n pics when I get um
