Kyle is it possible the SC is not mounted correctly, to far forward or tofar to one side?

[Darren]

looking good kyle hope you get that issue figured out soon and still hoping that tune comes in for you today!

3 Cheers for Todd and all his help - I don't care what Jeff says, he's a good guy


Looks good, Kyle, hope to see it on the road soon!

No. It has four bolts, and bolts to the intake. All four are in.

Fred, I'll be here till 2, just FYI.

Update for today, leaving for Hartland in 20 minutes, gonna go have fun out on the lake.

After finding the blower pulley was very close, if not hitting, the, what I'll call the core support, we marked up the area that needed to be clearanced (you can see the two rub marks inside the lines):


Also decided I would go ahead and file these down a little more, here's before I started filing today:


The Blower now fits with about 5mm clearance, instead of 1 - the belt is a tight fit, but it fits, especially since it'll be under tension:


Primered the spot, just so I don't have bare metal exposed:


The engine bay as it sits now, sans supercharger and belt tensioner:


Not the best paint job, but it works. It's hard to get nice light even coats when you have an area to work in the size of the can...


You can see the filed down engine lift mount in this shot:

Wow, the car sure has come a long way since I last checked on this thread. . . Hope to see it on the road when I get back to MI!

Okay, I know almost nothing about fwd cars, but I'm going to throw this out there. I think that you might need more than 5mm clearance. I'm sure that you've seen an engine torque in the mounts when revved. Again, I'm not sure, just wanted to say something.

Install is looking awesome. This car is going to be a whole new animal when you get it done!!!

guess it would depend which way the engine torques. I have 5mm or less clearance on several spots on my longtube headers My engine lifts towards the passenger side of the car. not sure what his fwd would do, maybe lift straight back?

[LS1Formulation]

It'll torque backwards, yes. But under deceleration, it could hit.

[Kwazrollinz28]

yeah i would take a hammer and beat that in more. like they said it might hit.
but other then that, sweet progress

[LS1Formulation]

And if you want it to look nice, just beat it in and then do a coat of primer then some basic white... Primer alone looks tacky IMO.

You won't be able to see it...

If it needs more clearancing, I'll have to get it cut out. You really can't do much more with a hammer.


On another note...





Still need that Wideband, though (not quite sure where it is)...

[bigjon88]

coming along kyle soo about another week?

[MP81]

Week? God I hope not. I hope it's done Monday or Tuesday - whenever the hell my wideband gets here.

[bigjon88]

shit man i cant wait we will have to meet up on wooodward so we all can see it
