I'm trying to put my bracket on. Looks like I either didn't get or didn't realize I needed to buy the m12X110mm bolts. Did yours come with those bolts?

No mine didn't come with anything. I got a couple Allen head bolts from fastenal. I got a few spare if you want them just pay shipping.

Wow thanks for the offer man! Fortunately I de-retarded myself while working on the car and figured it out. I had the 110mm on the cog tensioner location. I kept looking at it like WTF why would vortech give a bolt that's too long to fit in the groove of the S/C and slide all the way down?

Then I realized it was the correct pitch to fit in the stock location... So I put the stocker in the cog hole and that one in the plate/cover. I also scrounged a 120mm bolt and grazed it down with a angle grinder bit by bit to 110mm and put that with the spacer in the other m12 hole so I think I'm set... I felt like an idiot realizing that after so long. Oh well, at least I didn't have to order more crap... Yet... lol.

Thanks again for the offer I appreciate it.

Been a few weeks since I updated. Anyway had a coolant hose bust and leak about two weeks ago on the day it was 100* the car overheated and the oil thinned out and oil pressure dropped while I was out driving. As some may know I had flash boiling issues while cruising with my procharger setup. So I decided to take the time to weld up all excess coolant ports and do the HR mod and run hr head gaskets.
So I decided to freshen the engine up and I went with a lightened balanced crank and went ahead and replaced all the bearings while it was apart. Also decided to paint everything

So here are some pics

Filled the trans today and made a intake for the blower and finally charged the AC all ready to drive

Don't know if it actually helps but I wrapped my intake piping with the reflective heat tape today. If anything at least I got a little color now.

where did you get the CF duct thats mounted on the bumper ?

Car looks and sounds great! Like that you made the titek or whatever it's called duct fully functional

Tried to make a couple pulls on the dyno today.
First run (blue) it spun
Next two runs it was choking out and only making 14-15psi and you could hear it starving out up top. Figured out after I got home it was collapsing the blower intake coupler again. So I pulled it off and took it for a street pull and boost went up to 19 and Idc went from 85% to 98%

So I was definitely losing power from the intake acting like a restrictor plate.

I think I picked the hottest day of the year to work inside the car. Spent the last 2 hours running lines and wires for nitrous.

Jets should be here tomorrow. Gonna be direct port a little less than 10hp per cylinder

Any reason why you went direct port over maybe like a single pre impeller? Not knocking the decision, just curious for my own setup

2bad240

iTrader: (6)

Already had the direct port from when I was nitrous only. And il have precise control over nitrous distribution to each cylinder. I have lots of nitrous parts so I could later add a second nozzle pre impeller for cooling if needed but my setup stays pretty cool with the bigger intercooler and piping. The highest IATs I have seen is 101 at 19psi and it was 92* outside.

Yeah I feel you. I want to put a pre impeller nozzel if I ever get the car working, so when I'm overspinning it, it will just make the housing more efficient. Direct port by no means is a bad idea. It's obviously safer.

Does not look like fun, i'll bet its a pain in the as getting all that hose to fit and still look good.

Basically just shove it down. Once it's on you can't really see any of it.

It may be 97* outside but this little project snowballed. Was gonna just put the dp manifold on and have a hand switch. But now I have added a heater and purge and master cutoff for the nitrous system and installed wot as a second switch because il also be using a window switch to control when it starts and stops spraying
