Supercharger Install Progress
Tuesday, May 05, 2009 7:12 PM
Well i decide today to tackle the supercharger land thing because i got free time. I began actually very late in the day to work on the install on my own. So i didnt finish the install because didnt want to work at night.
So fare i have done the following;

Removed Belt
Removed TB
Remove Intake Manifold
Remove EGR and Installed EGR Block
Remove 98 Starter and installed 01 Starter
Removed PVC Baffle
Removed Fuel Rail
Relocated IAT
Misc wire crap

Hardest part: EGR Pipe Bolts. GM decide to use bolts that are different from entire car. They used a bolt with a Hex key top. I didnt have anything beside a simple hex key L shaped key. It took forever and played havoc on my hands to open those bolts. I had barely any space to turn the bolts.

Beside that so fare its pretty straight forward. I however not sure how to remove injector connectors and injectors from rail.

Sorry dude. I really wanted to come help you out, but after 8 hours of working on my own car and not finishing it, I just really didn't feel like it especially with my hardest final exam tomorrow. This is my busiest week otherwise I'd love to help.

Looks good... it's funny everybody complains about those EGR bolts and I've never had an issue removing them. You just need the right tools I guess.

How'd you like tightening the flange bolts? lol. Def my least fav part.

Good luck with it!

Crappy EGR, used existing Bolts with washer because the bolts GM recommends with the EGR Block plate are horrible! one of the bolts actually broke inside the block when i was barely torquing it. So insisted i used the original bolts they are longer and reinforced.

Hopefully the reflash works well for you...I'm dealing with one issue that won't go away and because of this issue the car in in the garage under a cover now...!

He can't use the reflash since his car is a 98.

I haven't seen you on MSN to help you with your issue!
