Installed the fuel pump a couple of days ago and got the wideband, boost and oil pressure gauges in today.
Getting closer. Monday oil pan will be tapped and oil jet bolts installed.

 

Getting soo close to boost lol.

Oil pan tapped, back to stock differential, oil jet bolts have been installed.

Once I move back to NY end of this month will have the sc in within 2 weeks hopefully and hope my clutch will hold up till the summer time.

 

sweeeeeeet!!

 

 

Getting installed next Friday or Saturday so super excited.

One thing I forgot is I do not have an intake or filter or anything.
I guess I will just run a filter right off the supercharger inlet. Anything wrong with doing this?
Do I need anything extra to cap off other vacuum lines or anything when doing this as I know there are hoses that usually go to the intake arm.
Any particular filter to go with or just measure the opening and get a K&N filter to match?
I prefer the look of the HKS foam type filters but obviously performance and reliability outweigh looks for sure.

 

Installed finally!

Unfortunately running extremely lean at the moment when in full boost.
Gonna check wiring tomorrow to see if anything came loose or something.
Did a few pulls before it started going really lean and man do I love it!!
So happy I decided to keep this and get it installed!!

 

That is a nice one of a kind engine bay. How did you do the snail?

 

Just pulled it off and had it candy red powder coated to match the valve cover. Looks much better in person.
I am planning to do the intake manifold to match the after cooler as well.


Hey any ideas why I would be running super lean in boost?
Was running 14 or so at first and then 30 minutes later was maxing out my aem wideband lean.
Boggs down bad when that happens as well. Seems ok at like 2 psi or so but if pushed higher immediately runs super lean and boggs down. Only did it twice before realizing what was happening and haven't hit boost since.

 

check that the FPR is set properly and that the vacuum port is getting a good source

 

Perhaps you have the in and out mixed up on the FMU, or perhaps the fuel pump is installed backwards. (If its an intake pump its really hard to install it wrong)

Computer control should have nothing to do with fuel issues because you are controlling it manually with the FMU. 12:1 ratio is as rich as you can go with FMU tuning. Double check your work.

Glad to see its all together. Also, please show picture of your heat exchanger install. I have heat soaking issues with my car so that is my next modification.
