there will be a complete build video up tomorrow.
Here is a still or two to keep you happy for now! She put down 414rwhp at 6psi with a 3.60" pulley. 10psi will be next month for my goal of 470. did this all as a 21 year old college student. Everything was done by me alone, save the help of my dad here and there. I spent about 5 months piecing this together, piece by piece, researching everything. Looking back, i would not change any way i did this. I love this bonding time with my car

Thanks for the pics! Build looks awesome, great job.

Im assuming you used the stock MAF. Where did you locate it? How do you like the HKS?

 

[Mike K]

Nice so how does it feel having the power?

 

[SilentScope]

addicted to the power. its disturbingly similar to a drug.

i love/hate the HKS.
Its a sequential BOV so it doesnt give that one big dumping swoosh, rather a contant fluttering. its loud. very, very loud. i dont think it will last long on my car. looking at a mondo.

I used the stock maf. its blowthough on the straight pipe before the bend to the manifold. That way i get accurate IAT's and readings. used the mafia too as a fail proof for pegging it. welded a MAF bung to fit it.

Thats where Im planning on installing my maf too.

If you dont want to spend the money on the Mondo take a look at the Turbosmart race port. This is what I will run and they can be had for $250 shipped.

Looks good. I see that you ended up routing the pipe similar to the vortech/Paxton kits.

 

[SilentScope]

yes. very easy to do your own piping. i was not going to pay 1900 for an intercooler and piping kit. lol

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah I wouldn't pay that much for the coldside setup either

 

[TheKurgan]

Nice clean install man. My build is similar to yours with the 1500 and air to air. I'll be doing blow through but I haven't decided on which BOV.

 

[SilentScope]

thanks!

nice, the 1500 is the way to go. same impeller as the 2200 with smaller housing, supposedly faster "spool" time.

don't get the HKS. its not great. i will change it soon.

But that 2200 makes some serious power lol...

But that 2200 makes some serious power lol...

Enough to blow up a stock 3V?lol

 

[SilentScope]

Enough to blow up a stock 3V?lol

im already having a blast with my 414hp! 470 is gonna be some serious fun!

Trust me you'll want more. Ive only put about 1.5k miles on my car at its current power level and its almost getting old. Although, when I take the car out of storage in April it will feel insane compared to my DD grand am!

 

[TheKurgan]

Is it just me or is there no clamp on the supercharger inlet coupler ?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Enough to blow up a stock 3V?lol

Oh yes... Plenty lol.

Your a ticking timebomb yourself my friend

 

[GrnBullitt08]

No it's there... Just blends in with the unit

I know! i didnt drive it for a day, was cruising in my dads titan. got in my car, put foot in 2nd and grinned so hard!

I hope i dont bend a rod. but then its just a reason to get built!

yup, turned all my tbolts away from the viewer.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I didn't bend a rod... I melted the piston and snapped the rod
