MAF relocation done…needed another 3”-3.5” coupler to connect to the airbox and also a 3”-2.5” coupler to pair up with the 135* elbow. Also had to lose the tuna can on the air box due to the clocked turbo and intercooler connections Sadly my OEM...

Cruisers and co should be able to point you in the right direction…

I used a SETRAB coolers on my off-road cars & sandrails. They are top notch & come in every size imaginable. https://setrabusa.com/

Ok, intercooler is plumbed in…no major surprises…you will need a 21/2” to 3” coupler to tie into the throttle body…also a 45 degree coupler for the passenger side connection…add and additional 2 1/2 90 degree coupler to the mix…I wound up cutting...

Have no clue but if I was gonna assume anything I’d think it’s firm tack assembly lube. That’s about the only blue lube I know of.

Drivers side basically plumbed in..awaiting a couple of silicone couplers and I should be able to button the front up…

Plumbing…need some more bits so progress has stalled…

Just an update on the Haltech 2500 elite controlling the A442F transmission. Boomslang harness was ordered and received. The Haltech PRNDL2 converter was ordered and received. Now the fun part. The question is start scratch on Universal Trans...

I ordered the PNDL2 interface box to interpret gear position as well as OD off / On . Boomslang is making me a fly lead harness to plug directly into the trans ECU connector harness to keep from cutting wires. Have this Haltech PNDL2 box in...

Well we might be hi jacking the thread after I saw the idle issue. Learned today after Calling Haltech about this transmission Timing solenoid control. Haltech tech said the Timing solenoid Can be configured… the question asked was What’s its...

Yes, I have used megasquirts with 442 and 343 transmissions. It is not detailed anywhere online I'm aware of. If you want to find out just how important the timing solenoid is open your glovebox, pull out connector IH3 and cut the wire going...

We would love to help! We can ship tomorrow for delivery as soon as Tuesday morning.

Thanks, trying to document this a little for others, feel free to pinch any pics for instructive purposes…

Well done man 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼

Trans cooler is in and plumbed…IC is in and access holes have been cut for the silicone 90’s bringing the plumbing into the engine bay…will clock the turbo next weeekend and plumb in the intercooler…looks like it’ll play nice going by eyeball

So today I removed the OEM trans cooler,,the center support and all associated trans cooler hardware and brackets. Cut 2 holes for the silicone 90* that enter the engine bay. Trimmed off the center bracket if the apron which holds the turn...

Transmission cooler and FMIC installed…grill fits with no modifications…plumbing will commence next weekend

Rain has stopped play for now… All that’s gonna happen is connect up the cooler lines to the transmission hard lines and reinstall the batteries… Next weekend I’ll clock the turbo and plumbing in the intercooler.

Grille clears…had to shave a 1/4 off of the headlight mounts where the grille screws into due to conflict with the fmic…

Removal of the center stiffener on the apron will need to be happen…also the right angle brackets provided with the fmic kit will need to be modified if you have a Slee short bus bumper as they clash with the round tube behind the winch. This...

Yeah it’s close to the limit…but still cools like a champ… My reasoning for documenting this detail isn’t to get my post count up but to help other who buy this kit and discover there’s no instructions outside of a parts list…this way folks have...

Thanks for posting these details. I was giving thought to getting that trans cooler even though I’m installing the 7psi kit that comes minus that and the IC. There are threads pertaining to relocating the AC dryer up beside the battery...

Transmisssion cooler mounted up

Ok…I take back what I said about the 3” hole saw…I wound up using a oscillating tool to cut open the holes needed for the silicone 90* parts…
