RoccoC5 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 What about relocating to a more functional area?no point, delete it and be done with it.So can I just remove the hoses from the cooler and splice them together, or is there a better way?

RoccoC5 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Awesome, I just ended up running a new hose from the reservoir down to the hard line coming from the rack. Definitely made things easier! Thanks! Way more room down there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoccoC5 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Not much of an update today. Last night I installed the sheet metal shroud and the fascia, and today over lunch I installed the intercooler: All that's really left is to finish running the hoses and install the catch can. Speaking of, there's not much room in the engine compartment so I was thinking of mounting the catch can along the passenger frame rail in front of the radiator. Anyone have theirs mounted here?

Jon Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Mine is on my blower bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoccoC5 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Mine is on my blower bracket. Ah cool, that's where I wanted to mount it but it seems you need a special bracket? I have an Elite Engineering can with the "hockey stick" mounting bracket and it doesn't look like I can make it work with the blower bracket.

Jon Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's behind one of the spacer bolts on the blower bracket. I'll snap a pic when I get my car back. I have that same catch can bracket as in the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoccoC5 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Finished up the rest of the intercooler inlet plumbing this evening: If I have time tomorrow I'll tackle the topside piping. Hope to be all done by this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoccoC5 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Well nevermind mounting the catch can against the front passenger side frame rail...I forgot that the air filter occupies that space. I'll take a closer look at the supercharger bracket to see if there is a way I can mount the catch can to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoccoC5 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 I plumbed the intercooler outlet piping yesterday and installed the A&A dongle while I wait on the 4" pipe. Started it up and everything seems good. I should be able to take it off the jackstands now and drive it around, staying out of boost of course. Tune scheduled for July 12th which will give me plenty of time to finish up with the catch can, top shroud, and the 4" intake. I'll post up a video and final install pics soon and will be sure to post the dyno results when I have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoccoC5 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's behind one of the spacer bolts on the blower bracket. I'll snap a pic when I get my car back. I have that same catch can bracket as in the pic. Found it over at the big forum. I'll probably do the same. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoccoC5 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 I finished up my 4" intake this evening. I had originally purchased a 90 degree bend but it ended up being a bit too short and the angle wasn't right, so I went with a 60 degree aluminum tube instead. This one had 5.5" legs and I had to trim 1.5" off of one end and close to 3" off the other: Ready to install: Installed: I was thinking of rolling a bead on each end of the pipe, but since it's the suction side I shouldn't need one, right? Also, the filter doesn't tuck between the condenser and the intercooler like it would with the A&A dongle but I think it will be OK. I'll just have to trim the top shroud some so it will clear the filter. I'll work on that next. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmxp69 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Both of those polished tubes are going to look evil under there Do you have your tune scheduled yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoccoC5 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yessir, tune scheduled for July 12th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoccoC5 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 I finally mounted the catch can. I ended up putting together a simple bracket and mounting it to the inside driver side frame rail: Then I trimmed up the top shroud to clear the filter, buttoned everything up, and took it for a drive. Everything seems ready to go! Can't wait for the tune on Saturday. Hoping for 525+ rwhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmxp69 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Good luck! Make sure to ask Keith for your Dyno run files. He can e-mail them to you right from the dyno computer. That way you can take your time checking out your results. You can download a free runfile viewer from Dynojet's website. Looking forward to your results. I just ordered my valve train upgrades too (cam/springs etc.) So I'm heading back to the dyno in a few weeks as well. My setup will be very close to yours.

RoccoC5 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Well shoot, put it on the dyno today and had to cut my run short due to a fuel pressure problem. Fuel pressure dropped into the mid to low 40's and it started leaning out around 5K RPM. It made ~460 whp and was on pace for mid 500's but I need to get this fuel problem figured out before we push it any harder. I have the Racetronix pump setup with their harness and a 20A BAP. Next step is to double-check all wiring and grounds and perhaps pull the pump to make sure the hose isn't kinked. Open for any other ideas.

LastC3 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 What was the change in AFR... could be just an enrichment requirement from the PCM beginning in that neighborhood ... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe@cpr.com Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 my vote is it's in the tank, you have the racetronix pump so it would support 460 rwhp on it's own boosted so the fact it dropped pressure there leads me to believe it's in the tank.

LastC3 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 wouldn't the pressure stay consistent if an intake issue ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 What about a clogged fuel filter. Could that cause this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe@cpr.com Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 wouldn't the pressure stay consistent if an intake issue ???? No because a small kink might flow enough to support xxx hp but not enough for xxx. And Ted that's a good thing he can check since the early fuel system guys have a serviceable filter.
