DOB Install

[BruceH]

This is just the start of it. Gathering the parts. This pic shows what I got off of ebay for under $800. The intercooler is a 2011 and has the needed brackets including the intercooler pump bracket. The parts are as new as they look. They were advertised as less than 50 miles and I'd be surprised if there was more than 10. The svt cai has a 4.5" maf housing which should give the stock maf sensor pretty good range.




I spent another $215 for 2013 injectors on ebay and a little less than $230 for an intercooler pump, reservoir lid, supercharger gasket, and iat sensor and pigtail.

So far that's about $1235 total. I still need to address the fuel rails and a pigtail for the intercooler pump along with the DOB manifold itself. Will probably pick up a Roush tensioner to go with it. I'm fairly certain this almost new kit will be under $3500 by the time everything is purchased.

I get to use the Ford maf xfer to start the tune with and I'd bet it's very close.

The actual cost will be less once I remove and sell the frpp intake, tb, injectors, c&l cai, mac headers and prochamber with cats. I'll be putting the stock manifolds and catted h pipe back on because afaik the stock cats are the only ones that can handle forced induction and I have to have cats.

The intercooler parts will probably go on this weekend. I'll take some pics along the way for anyone who may be interested. Forgive me for not knowing if a dob install has been documented on this site yet. More than likely it has so this will just be another one.

MOAR money! Upgrade the heat exchanger!

You are correct stkjock.

Isn't that the HE not a intercooler in the pic?

Yes it is. I hope to get it, the reservoir, and hoses setup this weekend.

That was a nice score finding those parts.

You just can't leave good enough alone can you? Lol. I like your style Bruce. I'm in for this.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Mike i was thinking that exact same thing.

 

[skwerl]

I'm in as well. So much for leaving it NA.

I'm in for this, I love the DOB set up. I hope you plentiful in taking pic and the install. And then when you get tired of this one you can sell it to me. Jk

Nice!! Definitely excited for another DOB

I would definitely go with the frakentensioner over anything else though.

I might. I have another tensioner in my spare parts bin. I've also run the Roush tensioner with 17psi on a whipple and it's done just fine without being too much. That's all I've tried in the past though. Once the Roush went on there was no need to go farther.

I'll second the Roush tensioner. You simply don't hear about anyone having issues with them. You also don't see them come up for sale used very often, people keep them and never replace them with anything else.

I'm currently running 16psi on my six rib with the frakentensioner. Been pretty good thus far. It's just such a cheap effective solution.

Good choice Bruce! I've been happy with my DOB.

 

[Surfstang2020]

Nice build I'll be following along as this kit fits my budget and I've been contemplating it for soemtime now

 

[Kidd]

Nice, can't wait to see the results Bruce!

 

[SGTguy]

Nice build, looking forward to what involved on the install,

 

[Dubstep Shep]

Oh also, I would get the manifold anodized before assembly. Looks badass!!
