As @TomH said, I sold it. I relocated to Europe and had no place to keep it. To answer your questions though: Updates/Boost: It ran strong for the 6 months or so I had it completed and didn't feel as anemic as stock so I never really tinkered with the boost more than mentioned here. AFR was...

SOLD! Thanks @blumtn

This hurts my soul, because I waited about four months to get the darn thing.... and paid $4800 + over $600 in shipping. Such is life though. Due to some life changes I must part with this work of art. The bumper is still wrapped in plastic and padding, and all the associated equipment is...

Lovingly used ARB rear bumper. I picked it up and then decided to go a different direction with my build. It's definitely not new, but has no major dings and is in good shape. This thing is fit for a tank. Hole for 7 pin (can be seen to left of trailer hookup in picture) and 4 pin trailer...

No hoses missing. I really think the bypass valve is the next troubleshooting step. You've inspired me to share my rats nest. Here's the pics... Yes, the header tank for the intercooler (silver) is sitting on and zip tied to the intake. Water pump is zip tied to base of air filter. Marks to...

I simply don't know when to quit. It's not always a good trait. Honestly I'm trying to decide what my long term goals are at this point. I've put a ton of elbow grease into this vehicle, had a blast doing it, and unfortunately caught the 80 bug in the process. I had no idea I was going to...

Agreed, it was a big waste of time, but kind of fun. And I learned a bit. LS swap is definitely the most bang for the buck, however, I currently don't have the time or shop for that.

I ran the numbers and looked at the boost curve of the compressor. It really seems like it's a boost leak rather than anything else. I can only reduce the pulley another 5mm before reaching the max rpm on the sc. Now granted, my math practice on superchargers is non-existent, but I should be...

Ok, Three month update. The supercharger works. I'm not exactly impressed and I definitely could've used the money more wisely on many other things, however, it does provide enough boost to make it livable in the mountains. I get 2 to 3 psi at 2000 rpm depending on how much foot I use, which...

Alrighty peoples, This post is probably going to end up word heavy and pic light. Bear with me.... To pick up where I left off a few posts ago, I ended up cutting two inches off the intercooler housing in order to tuck it in properly. I did my research and it looks like many people are using...

OK. So a long two days of work. Long story short, I just drove it around the block and it didn't blow up (or throw a fan blade in the radiator!) so hooray! Still not sure I have the bypass valve plumbed to the best port. I took it's vacuum from the old EGR connection (which was capped) that...

Day 5. Not many pics today. Too busy getting this stuff done. Oil plumbing done for supercharger. Started getting excited about halfway through. Things went well despite my stubborn insistence on keeping my dual battery setup which is starting to make things tight. Have a glimmer of hope that...

Awesome, thanks for all the info. Amazon really came through. Have a silicone 3.25 to 3 inch reducer arrived today (apparently this is a common problem). 3/4 to 1/2 inch barbs on the way (probably could've gotten at the hardware store but while I was loading up Amazon...) Bosch wiring harness...

Episode III: aka Day 4... So, got the intercooler mounted loosely. Took three guesses before I got what I assume are the correct brackets for the intercooler. Once sitting on the brackets I realized that I was woefully incorrect. The throttle body is definitely in a different place, well...

I'm definitely going to have to get creative, but from what I can tell, as long as I can figure out how to mount everything, I seem to have everything needed to complete the install. Will it be pretty? No. Will it run? Maybe. What kind of boost will it make? Absolutely no idea. As far as the...
