Sorry, its been changed. I have a pretty good electrical backround and this will work just fine. If it doesnt work I wont blame it on you - dont worry

Actually I mounted my KB boost a pump in the same spot back in 2000 on my Z28, one of the first LS1 prochargers sold. Not many other places to put it really

"Since" its recommended to wire the booster as close as you can to the pump I'm going mount mines where the stock moonsoon amp goes and use the hole that suppiles the wire to the fuel pump as a wire feed hole. Unless the lenght of the vaccum hose to the unit can cause a delay they I will mount it elsewhere.

The vacuum hose length wont hurt anything, just make sure it doesnt get kinked, crushed or cut along the way. If you are uncomfortable with electronics its best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. I wanted it under the hood where I can see it and if it quits I can bypass it easily, there is no reason for me to believe it wont work just fine where its at.

Mount it outside the car behind the rear seat keeping the booster close to the relay in the Racetronix harness. Both the MSD and KB BAP are encapsulated in epoxy so you don't have to worry about the elements getting inside. It is much cooler in this location than under the hood of your car. Interfacing the BAP in the proper location prevents the booster from placing a parasitic load on the battery when the car is off.

Note: If you cut into the Racetronix harness you void its lifetime warranty.

Now you have me rethinking that MSD I just ordered.

Has anyone used this item? Will it work on a '02 Z06? How does it boost the voltage sellectively? Will it harm anything else in the car (ECU...)? Where does it install?

if your car has a tps sensor it will.

they say it does not go up high enough to harm anything.. i assume they have done their homework on it.

you plug your tps clip into it and plug it into your tps sensor. it sits right under the throttlebody. it has a plug that goes to your alternator and splices in between its plug, and then has one last connection to a positive terminal on the car

for me it was really the only choice.. since i run two pumps and kb and msd both said their boosters were only rated for one pump and i would have to buy two.. NO WAY.

So you've had no problems?

i have one, but its not on the car yet since my fuel pressure is still holding strong

i have seen them work before on other cars.

I'm a little leary about taking advise from someone with such a slow car, but I think I'll order one and try it out.

Thanks MM!

Alright the reason I say anything about the length of vaccume line is a simple concept to understand, if you add to the line then it will take longer for the booster to react to the vaccume change. But if it's not even that sensitive then its ok then. About the parasetic how does that work? I mean don't the msd have a on/off switch? I know parasetic draw is the draw of current with car off but little things like pcm memory and clock memory draw some current but total parasetic draw of current should not exceed .5 amps or else you will have dead battery problems of morning start ups. I don't really want to mount it in the front either, 1 it looks not clean 2 it won't pass smog. Yes I'm going to try to make my turbo car pass smog when I need to and having that will make me fail visual and yes I can remove it but that all that work I aint' trying to be doing everytime smog comes around.

The length of the MAP hose will not effect the MSD booster's response time. Mount the booster at the back where we designed it to go and it will work fine and be hidden.

The V-Plus is a good idea but it does not do the same thing as a MSD or KB booster. The MSD and KB boosters provide much more voltage gain and are dedicated to one circuit function. If you need a major increase in fuel pump volume you should consider a MSD or KB booster which is designed to plug into all Racetronix f-body and y-body harnesses

highspeedspecialist

Thank you racetronix for clarifying that. I already bought the msd booster...just gotta save up for your racetronix setup.

highspeedspecialist

So with the msd booster and the racetronix pump with new rails do I need new feedlines? This is good up to 700hp? Is that maxing it out already?

I just got the MSD BAP yesterday. I noticed the long lead (about 15'-20') that goes to the fuel pump does not have any terminals or plug on it (just bare ends). Based on your statement above I'm under the impression that there should be a plug to interfaced your pump... is this correct?

I bought my Z06 with your pump installed. With that said, where should I look for the wiring for the MSD to connect into? Most instals I've seen on C5's have the MSD mounted in the front next to the battery... is this okay?

Where do you reccomend the setting on the MSD be set for my car which is making about 9 psi and 600+ rwhp?

Since I got the BAP already, I guess I'll just use it. Thanks for your time MM!

650-700RWHP would be the max depending on your BSFC.
At 600RWHP you should have a FM FPR as well.
The factory feedline is fine.

The C5 harness comes with a booster interface connector set as shown in this picture here:
http://www.racetronix.com/product/RX-C5-FPK-2/RX-C5-FPK-2b.jpg

It is the connector set just after the relay with the green lock. This connector set is installed on the booster wiring. A perfect place for the relay and the booster is the large open area you will find behind the driver's side rear tire wheel well cover. There is a place to mount the relay and a good chassis ground location. This location is fairly well protected from the elements, is much cooler than the engine compartment and eliminates wiring clutter.

Set the MSD to provide apx 17V @ WOT. The adjustment screw might not have enough range / gain to get you there at 9PSI but the closer you can get it the better. The MSD manual states 15.7V / 7.5A @ 5PSI with the control fully CW. Do not exceed 17-18 volts under WOT.

I definatly do not have a plug on this brand new MSD BAP that will interface with the plug in your picture... just bare wires. Is this thing used and repackaged I wonder?
