since it looks like you are on the stock head and it doesnt flow too well at higher boost levels, i would say re-tune the fuel/ignition for the meth and stay at 15 psi. i'm sure there will be input from people who are smarter than me.

 

:agreed: Id focus on gettin it dialed in at the 15 lbs 1st. You prolly wont get much more flow past 17. Although thats been the estimated choke point number. Not necessarily proven but very likely. Id even guess youd lose power at that point as well too since the turbos out runnin the heads capacity. :dunno: Youd prolly just confirm what we alreadyve heard, turnin it up to 18lbs.

 

thanks alot!!!,thats what im goin to do,with alittle higher timing and leaner mixture i can squeeze out some more horses! and still be safe,i heard that the head will be maxed out at that psi,but some people still run it lol,i just wanted to get more opinions..thanks

im goin to upload pictures of the install when i get the kit this coming tuesday!!!
its goin to be a great christmas eve!! lol

 

quick question,as you may see on my engine bay picture,im using the stock evo intercooler pipping,the nozzle have to go as close as possible to the throttle body,but since theres is the long rubber elbow,could it be safe to mounted it on the alumminun pipping since its like 6 inches away from the throttle body??,hope you guys get what im trying to say!

 

evo guys put it into the rubber all the time. Its easy to do

 

thanks,they sell a mounting adapter for the rubber,hopefully the one that came with the kit works in the rubber!

 

yes they do =) easiest way to do it, the couplers are cheap, the metal is the money part.

 

great!! thanks alot!!!

 

well look what i got today!!! :ndance:

im goin to install it tomorrow morning,any advices are welcome,i dont have much space on the engine bay,im figuring out were im goin to install the reservoir

 

find a high spot to mount the reservoir, cuz theres no mounting realestate on the low side. in the 3g engine bay at least. If i remember correctly i remember balla's put his pump somehwere near the passenger strut tower.

edit: found a pic

 

thanks alot bro,i can put the pump there, but then i need a place to put the reservoir,where is the reservoir on the pic? maybe his using the washer Fluid reservoir

 

Negative!:nono: youll want that pump gravity fed so that means the "in" port of the pump will have to sit lower than the reservior. This is the location of the bottom of the washer fluid reservoir.

If the cops werent super gay out here id have chosen a different location for the res. and pump. Check my thread to see what ive put together so far. Trust me, hop under there and theres no logical low point to mount for a proper gravity feed. I asked about that to wondering if the pump had a sufficient suction but its just adding a risk once the demand you set on the controller begins.

 

thanks men!,i was thinking of putting everything on the truck just like steady did,but on snow intructions it says its recommended to get the solenoid if you goin to mounted on the truck,im undecided yet(theres no space on the engine bay!!) =(,and yea definetly the pump have to sit lower than the reservoid

 

I saw this thread late so forgive me if I take the pump placement out of context. Just want to show you what I did.

There is a great spot right next to the wiper reservoir I found. I had to make two brackets that bolt up to the chassis.

And then from underneath you can set where I tapped the reservoir. The tank is above the pump and even with the slight bow in the hose, gravity can still do its job. Plus I never plan on letting the reservoir get to low.

 

thanks alot men i appreciated!!
is there enough space to put the reservoir too??

 

no it looks like he tapped the bottom of the wiper tank. Never thought of fabin brackets. Couldnt visualize it.... I knew under the headlights was a prime spot to mount in the engine bay though. Clean, logical, install repforenzo!:yesway:

 

yea you right,tomorrow im goin to check to see if there is space for the reseroir,if not then i will tappe the washer tank,i dont want to wait a week for the solenoid to come in,it will be nice to mounted it in the truck though:lol:

 

Thanks for the kudos guys. There isn't enough room for the standalone boost cooler reservoir, but you won't need it. The wiper reservoir is nearly a gallon and you can still use it to clean your windshield when you need it.

The brackets were easy to make. I went to Home Depot and bought two large heavy duty 90 degree wood brackets. I cut them just after the angle to make them look like two little skis. It wasn't hard at all. Mount the pump to the brackets and then put the whole assembly on the chassis ledge and measure for your drill holes. It worked great and it is solid.

Unfortunately, the first time I tried to mount the pump it sliped out of my hands, hit the floor, and damaged one of the inlet/outlet connectors. I had to order a new one.

 

its like 1.25 gallons to the top.... i might hit up the depot. I just finished a work table for my next project.

 

just did the nozzle,here is a pic

[/IMG]

i guess i dont have any choice than just to use the washer tank! :rant2:

 

well i tapped the washer tank alreday,put it back in,wire all the electrical connections and tomorrow i just hae to put the pump,thanks repforenzo!,im doin the exact thing as you,did you drill exatly on the edge? you use bolts with nuts then right???

 

How about do you have more pics on a thread of yours in the v6 section??

 

i already check on his threads and he only have the picture he post here and another one,almost identical as the one already post here

 

Yup, I only took the two photos and I have the same ones on my thread. To be honest, once you pull out the headlight it pretty easy to see how it will fit.

I just did some visual measurements on making sure the pump was low enough in relation with the reservoir and so it wouldn't hit my fog light.

So in order: 1) Modifying the brackets: I cut the brackets so they 'hang' on that chassis ridge and then drilled the chassis holes in them 2) Taking one of the cut brackets, I slid under the car with the pump to visually check where on the brackets the pump needs to be mounted. 4) With that info, I drilled two holes on each bracket symmetrically and attached the pump. 5) Now that the pump was on the brackets, I placed the whole assembly on the chassis ridge to see where it would fit without hitting anything. Once I found the sweet spot, I held onto the assembly while I took a sharpie to mark the drill points through the pre-drilled bracket holes. This way everything lines up. 6) Finally, drill the two holes on the chassis and with nuts and bolts, attach the pump assembly.

That was the way I did it and it was a snap.

 

oh well:dunno: thats why i try to take a lot of pics

 

:yesway: i get it!

 

thanks men! im working on this at the moment,will take pictures when i finished

have a great day everyone!!

 

all done!!! thanks for the help guys,everything is in and working nice!!,im goin to post pictures later,doing some tuning tonight!!! :eek3:

 

post notes on the cars behavior when the meth kicks in. I was seein reference on evoM about leaning fuel about 10% when its present but its only bits an pieces thus far.
