Vortech + Lots of new goodies! ~56k WARNING!~
A few weeks ago I started ordering parts, then last week they all showed up...here are the results
Modular Powerhouse Vortech Mongoose kit with MPH 4" boost pipe:
^ Mongoose kit fully installed! It took Vortech a damn WEEK to get a replacement oil feed line to me (The one in the kit came cracked, tightened it up and it just fell apart!!!)... Oh and first they sent me the WRONG part!!
They sent me the oil feed inlet nozzle for the supercharger...anyway, after a call to Vortech I bitched them into sending me the CORRECT part overnight
^MPH boost pipe, pretty much self explanitory!
^This is how I mounted the IAT sensor - after the blower inbetween the blower and discharge tube!
^Here are the vacuum lines, Tee'd off for bypass valve - and later down the line for the boost gauge!
Autometer C2 gauges and GaugeWorks dual instrument bezel pod:
^MAC white gauge faces, instrument bezel painted with Dark Charcoal interior paint from 50resto.com.
^All lit up! To make the light behind the instrument cluster darker blue I put #37 blue LED bulbs in - replacing the stock white bulbs. Eventually I figure I'll order a set of EL Glow gauge faces from Speedworks.com to match the C2 gauges
^Closeup of the A/F gauge - it's not "just a light show" as I have it hooked up to an Innovate LC-1 wideband controller.
^Using the supplied serial cable (and a serial to USB converter for my laptop) I hooked up the LC-1 to my lappy-top to monitor AND log my A/F (car is at idle)
^Vacuum/boost gauge showing -20 at idle!
Raptor Performance shift light:
^I mounted it in the drivers side center console air vent
I would have more pictures but my camera ran outa battery; I needa snap a few of the oilpan tap for the oil-return-line, and how I mounted the LC-1
I still need to take it to the dyno and get my numbers (I'm hoping for 360hp/tq?) and while I'm there have the MM full length subs I ordered yesturday installed as well! Your comments are welcome, and any questions too!
