Procharger install help. NEED PICS!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Got the S/C last night. Got up early to install and I had a he$l of a time. I ended up putting the car back together without the S/C. I have a P1SC-1.
04 GT.

Bolted the bracket to the S/C. Then the fun part came. Two problems:

1) The S/C appeared to be WAY too close to the alternator and pulley.
Maybe the S/C bracket's holes were not drilled in the correct place.

2) I got the lower bracket bolted in place. The upper hole that bolts to the alternator I had issues with. The spacer is darn near impossible to get with my skinny fingers in to get lined up. The spacer can be adjusted to line up with the bracket hole. Problem is, I can't really line it up until I have the S/C in place. Then I'm SOL when it comes to getting the spacer torqued down due to not having any room.

Can one of you guys with a procharger take some pics of your set up?

If ther is a way to take pics of the 3 places in the bracket that it bolts to the motor would GREATLY be appreciated.

I'll try to upload pics of what I need if possible.

Thanks.

Thanks Diablo,

I took a dremel to it last weekend and it will move fine now. I beleive I have enough clearance to the alternator. I'm installing everything next weekend. I went ahead and installed the intercooler. I fabricated the steering fluid cooling hose to get the steering cooler lines out of the way.

I have the intercooler bolted up. My only problem now is that there is NO WAY the L bracket will bolt up to the intercooler. There is way too much space between them.

Did you have to fab the L bracket to get it to hook up?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Perhaps there are some things you ran into that you didn't anticipate. What might be some things I need to know?

Thank you!!!!

I had similar issues ad the best thing to do is double check the fitmet of every single pipe you've installed. Make sure everything is positioned (rotated) correctly as well. I found plenty of additional length solving this simple problem.

Also do you know if your tensioner is the new or old style? New style replaces the old weak aluminum arm which flexes, cracks, and ultimately breaks. This is also a big reason why your belt may slip if it does. I found mine was cracked at the spring retainer.

One last thing- Anderson and Western Motor SPorts (WMS) makes inlet pipes to the head unit which increase the effiency (and power) so I suggest you take a look into that. I've got a WMS & it works well.

I beleive I have the old style which I will eventually repalce with a STEEL one.

Thanks for the inlet pipe suggestion too.
