2.4ss/sc build commenced!!!

Today, me, alleged, and two of our other friends started the install of the supercharger kit.... we were able to remove everything, and was able to install the lsj intake manifold, and stock intake system(gonna do air box mod for now)

Tomorrow we are gonna do most of the wiring, install stock lsj heat exchanger, and boost gauge. Also gonna run the hoses, and see what else we can do....

parts still on the way: zzp heat exchanger, 60lb injectors, spark plugs, innovate wideband, map sensor pigtail, and upper radiator hose. Oh and still need to find 120mm bolts for the alternator.

So we should be done by next weekend!!!

damn I would love to just watch this be done. I want to learn so much about F/I and more advanced stuff with mechanical stuff. Like I get the basics of how it works and all, but to read and see it are two totally different things. Anyway best of luck with the soon-to-be beast!

day 3: installed stock heat exchanger, got some hoses connected, and did all the wiring except for ic pump. The wiring took a long time to solder, and wrap up.


pic of the heat exchanger although you can't see it


supercharger put on so I can figure out how I was gonna run my wires.

day 4(tomorrow): no work on car but I will be painting the supercharger if weather permits
