I don’t see any heater hoses behind the supercharger, just the one under the supercharger behind the alternator which is the new inlet/barb that was installed, I have it’s location circled on here, the two heater lines run back into the firewall to the heater core and those are dry

I just notice you didn't add a oil catch can on the passenger side.
I recommend it, the PCV goes straight into the front of the compressor,
so the oil and crap will coat the twin screws and the intercooler.

This was taken in 2015 about 3 1/2 years worth mostly in the winter months when they switch to shit winter gas.

I just started mine up yesterday on the lift with my new tune from JDM, it idles smooth and A/F ratios are all good, trying to find a mystery coolant leak tho. Its coming down from the back of the motor from what looks like inside the bellhousing, then dripping out where the oil pan meets the block near the starter. above and around the starter is dry. At first I though it was the rear hoses into the intercooler but they are dry, and if I turn the key on but dont start the motor to let the intercooler pump run it doesn,'t leak, only leaks when the motor is running which should tell me it's the engine's coolant. Trying to find where it could be coming from.

Congrads on the startup!
Bummer on the leak, I'm sure you'll get it handled.


Mine sounded good on startup with the exhaust and the little whine.

sorry man, I should of said behind alternator/under blower. Did you use the spring clamps?
Yes I just reused the factory clamp, I just ordered some breeze worm gear hose clamps, going to have to take the blower and alternator back off to change the clamp. Hoping it’s leaking from the hose on the barb, and not where the new barb goes into the block. Don’t know how I’d fix it if that were the case and I can’t be sure which it is by looking at it
