The Plan:
Stock Like. No crazy vibrations from after market motors mounts and no crazy exhaust drone.
The Build Begins:
2003 AP1 S2K 135K miles.
Ferrea beehive springs and titanium retainers.
Stock exhaust.
Stock 4.10 Differential.
The Supporting Cast.
AEM EMS Series 2 ECU
AEM 30-4100 Wideband
Hondata 4Bar Map sensor
AEM Fuel Rail + AEM Fuel pressure regulator
Injector Dynamic 1300cc Injectors
ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate + Competition Clutch Segmented Ceramic Disc
Defi 60mm Boost Gauge
GM Flex Fuel sensor
AEM 320L E85 Fuel Pump.
The Teaser.
The Plate.
GM Flex Fuel with harness. $80 something shipped. The flex sensor in between the return fuel line. The hose line is a bit small for the flex sensor. Trick is to screw in a bolt to stretch and enlarge the fuel line to fit the metal hose. Then use fuel injector hose clamps secure the line.
Crank pulley. Funny the instructions were for right hand drive cars. Wonder how much forward movement the engine will make. Awfully close to the steering rack.
Forgot about the lower left bottom screw that goes into the timing cover. For the life of me, I can't get the screw and spacer to fit into the timing cover. The steering rack is in the way. Must be another right hand drive situation. Will go back and remove the plate and try again.
Log:
Day1: Installed injectors and fuel rail. Installed Nvidia straight pipe and Wideband O2 sensor.
Day2: Installed fuel pump.
Day3: Semi Mounted the supercharger.

You must do as it says on page 10 of the instructions and fit the 6mm bolt and spacer before lowering the main plate. Simple if you follow the instruction. You won't get it in with the plate in place you will need to remove it and start again.

As Richard has just said, the bolts and washers need to be in position before putting it in. I did the same as you. And i had the belt in the wrong position the second time, I also overtightened the bolt below the crank pulley which pierced the timing chain cover. (There was no torque setting, so be aware and be careful) That was a nightmare, but found the issue and replaced the timing cover. So i've had it on and off atleast three times due to me being a bit 'special'
I love the kit though, its made me good power with the older, smaller c38-81 charger, tts supersport kit (smaller pipes and intercooler) 250lph fuel pump and 750cc injectors (which are near their limit at peak revs) i ended up with 410bhp, 255lbs torque (350hp at the wheels).......... And thats at uk stats, from what i understand US figures work out higher.
This was using 99 octane fuel.
And like you, i want it as close to stock as possible, standard exhaust, but j's manifold and decat.
Its quiet, driveable no rattles, vibrations or unwanted noises. Very happy im sure you'll end up with a lot more power, i dont think id want any more on uk twisty, bumpy roads.

For that screw installation...no need to remove the plate, remove the lower motor mount bolts and jack up the motor till you get enough clearance...this worked well for us.

hockeylfe11 Will do. Maybe with a sided by side comparison the the PTuning GTX3076R. Will need to get a Gopro camera though.
camuman - Result will be posted as always.

Mine is up and running. We're trying to get it on the dyno before the end of next week. I'll put up a post once I have some results.
Dyno/tune day tentative for next Wednesday.
