this is all i got done so far.....
Disco'd the battery of course!
removed the SC inlet & outlet, along with the BPV
removed the front bumper, foam padding, grille, and the hood latch support rod (and PS cooler - ill probly replace it with a bigger B&M unit)
reclocked the SC - this took a WHILE because not only did i reclock the SC, but the s trim on my stang has about 32k on it. i had an s trim (also V2) lying aroudn with 2200 miles on it, but it had a curved discharge. SO i swapped the pulleys, oil feed & drains, and outlets, then reinstalled the new blower w/ the old outlet on the bracket, and put it back on the engine (with the outlet still loose so i can play with it)
i decided to put the FMIC behind the bumper because i dont want to deal with weakening the bumper, and having to bring it to my pals house, cut it, weld it, etc. etc.
this is the drivers side (inlet) with a 90 degree pipe on it - had part of the wheel well removed for this pic. im probly going to buy a 90 degree coupler for the end of that metal tubing.....
another pic of it
in this pic you can see the tubing coming from the SC outlet. the 90 degree union is going to mate these two together (most likely)
passenger side (outlet) - IIRC this is a 70 degree tube? im going to cut out part of the metal to pass the tubing through
this is my ghetto way of moutnign the FMIC for fabbin purposes. im going to buy a big piece of that metal that you see there so i can rigid mount it (more rigid at least)
this is coming from the SC to the drivers side IC inlet. a small 7" section of straight pipe, going to a 45 degree bend.
well thats it for tonight!!! im beat and i need to order a couple more pieces. what do you think so far? quesitons/comments/criticism is welcome! help me improve it if possible! i still need to get the coupler for the feed side, get a -04an straight fitting, and change the fitting in the oil filter adapter to -04an, so i can use my handy-dandy braided S.S. oil feed hose, probly order t-bolt clamps and silicone unions depending on how much $$$ i have. finish the passenger side IC outlet, cut the body up, get hose for the BPV, mount the IAT sensor, mount the IC itself, tighten up the SC outlet bolts, put the belt on, snug down and loc-tite the bolts on the SC, put the bumper back on and align it, clean my K&N filter, install a power steering cooler if i dont re-use the stock one, refill teh fluid, and take her for a spin!!!! then after that, FMS 3.73 gears
