got a new one, yes stock.

Thought maybe you'd go with the larger one from Ford.

Today I decided to not do the oil pump.
it's still not here and they can't tell me when it will arrive.
It's also a 12.5 HR install.....

So yea, we're moving forward. on assembly.





I personally don't like the blower head unit in blue.
black finish center, alum manifold, with blue covers as an accent - will look good.

@Dalamar Did you check Melling part 10397BR? It’s their high performance pump with billet gears. Runs about $480 shipped or so from Summit or RockAuto after discounts. Rock Auto appears to have a couple in stock. Summit drop ships from the manufacturer.

looks like the heat exchanger bracketry is redesigned for better air flow. Defiantly better than the shit sandwich brackets on mine.

That's a good point Gary. Heat kills Transmissions.

LOL 1Bad45. (nice location i've been there in summer....

Vash, thanks for the info, I decided to move on. would have been nice, but I want this done and back on the road.



Stopped by the shop today on way to a jobsite. it's almost done. Just needs the guage install and a few passes with the tuner.

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.

Just looked at it with a fresh set of eyes this morning, there looks to be coolant sitting in the valley, think it’s where the heater hose that was lengthened goes into the block is where it’s leaking, not looking forward to having to disassemble to see how to tighten it up

Its the heater hose behind/under blower , pain in the ass to get to, same thing happened to me year after supercharger install. Did you use factory spring hose clams on the heater hose? Thats what caused leak on mine. I switched all my clamps to German hose screw type clamps they don't dig into or damage the hoses.

 

[bsimms89]

What heater hose is behind the blower? The intercooler lines are back there but the two heater lines run into the firewall and they’re dry, I think it’s where the heater line comes down under the blower into the block in the front
