Well as a few of you know I picked up a used M90 from Skwerl. I've had it for a couple weeks but I just bought a house and finally got moved in Wednesday. I always work Thursday - Sunday and get off at 10:30pm each night, so I'm finally going to give the install a go on Monday (maybe Sunday night after work? IDK!).
It's an M90 kit from a 2010 Roush 427R, which was then put on Skwerls 2009, which is now going to go on my 2006.
I'll be using a VMP 2.49 pulley, stock 2010 Airbox (since I can't find a CAI for the 2010 M90), and will get it running from datalogging Bama tunes. I plan on running the Bama tunes until I get my exhaust, which will be pacesetter LTs, O/R H, with GTB mufflers (GTBs to quit it down a little and give me that deep tone I want). After I get the exhaust installed and get it running from Bama again, I'll shortly after hopefully get a remote tune from Lito or Justin. I haven't decided on whether or not to grab a 12% OD pulley yet for the build. I started to think yes, but then I looked up the prices of the pulleys and now am not sure if it's worth it. I figured at first it would be like any other pulley and be $100ish, boy was I wrong
I'm hoping there's not too much trouble with the install, but I'm sure I'll have questions and I'll post pics along the way through the install and surely some videos of the finished product
Will get pics up of the kit all laid out on my garages crappy shelving soon! =)
Started install! Whew, been working on it since 11am this morning (May 19th) and decided to take a sit down break and post up pics.
Here's the progress so far:
As you can see the power steering tank is relocated to the right. This kit came off of a 2010 so the intercooler reservoir is much much bigger than the original one for the 2006. I removed the power tank and screwed the right bolt of the intercooler res. in to it's existing hole, and then drilled a hole for the left side of the intercooler res...
then I moved the power steering tank over a bit and drilled a new hole, first I had to cut the mounting bracket for the P.S. tank because I couldn't get it to line up/look right. It's still not as "perfect" as it could be, but it's pretty close.
All disassembled, intercooler reservoir added, now about to remove the bumper to add the intercooler =D
