Unfortunately, I didn't finish her tonight. I ran into so many stupid little things I just got fed up with myself after awhile. Both my buddy that came over to help and myself were starting to get angry, tired, and we both didn't want to destroy anything. Not the kits fault, it was our own.

Lessons learned:
1. Good luck finding an NPT tap if you plan on installing a methanol line/jet!
2. Once you find that NPT tap, make sure and double check to see if the thread pitch is exactly the same and not just close side by side! There are a couple that are really close to each other.
3. If you have a GM Stage 2 belt and an oversized tensioner, one has to go because of the adapter plate thickness! Back to the stock belt, but that is always a PITA to install!
4. It is highly advisable to have the allen key with the rounded tips so you can use them at angles to install the blower bolts. It really sucks when your buddy is putting in the last bolt while you try to find the old belt, and states "I don't think something is right man." That would be because the bolt was going in crooked due to the wrench tweaking it and F'ed the hole up! So I had to fix that little issue too. It's a real tight fit getting those bolts in.

I will finish the install in the morning as I'm tired as hell and aggrivated, but I can't leave you without pics, so here they are!







And so close, yet so far!!!!

 

Thanks for the update...Hang in there, you will get it! Now get some sleep& report back to duty@ 0 five hundred!!! JK

 

that is awesome man, i'm glad to see someone finally getting one of these installed and rolling

freaking awsome looking man

 

you're doing great, get some sleep, and continue tomorrow. Take it easy on yourself. Looks very nice.

 

Don't rush. It will happen. Have a couple of beers.

 

yeah man, don't rush it, take your time on it. You will get there, don't **** something up now due to being pissy and stressed out, approach all problems with a clear head. Like the others are saying, hang in there bro, it will all be worth it in the end.

 

If there is one thing I have learned about working on ECOtec's is nothing is simple...actually the ZZP trans mounts were, but that is about it.

 

Make sure to count all your tools on the way out , especially the little screw driver ends . 8)
