I started on Friday Evening around 8pm, and worked until 10pm doing some prelim stuff, and then Azmotorhead (Phil) came over on Saturday AM, along with another good friend of mine and worked until about 11:30pm or so. Sunday we started around 11am, and worked till 3am, and completed the job.
It did not go flawless, we had to make some changes to the system.
1. The water tank does not fit anywhere on the 06's, so we deleted it, and re-designed the plumbing system for the heat exchanger and charge cooler, made sure it had good flow, etc.
2. The blow off valve does not fit downward, so we had to place the filter upward.
3. Getting to the place to cut the hole in oil pan is a real treat.. took about 3 hours of messing around getting that done.
4. The bracket for holding the charge cooler does not work with headers, I have talk to Gary about getting him to make me bracket that will work with Bassani headers.
5. Drilling and pinning the crank was oh soo much fun!!!
6. The updated tensioner pulley does not fit 06's, and you can not get the belt on... so we went back to the stock one.. it seems to be OK.
7. Some of bolts did not fit as expected...
8. After about 6 trips to AutoZone, Home Depot, Checkers and Lowes for parts runs... we got it done.
Total Time Spent: About 30 hours.
Took it out tonight, and everything checked out... took it to a nice back road, and let er have it.... started at about 35mph, and it just boiled the tires.... but its definately fast..
We noticed under WOT, my F/A mixture goes to about 10.8 for a split second.. then back to 13-15 range. But I have no detonation that I can hear.
I will post pics soon.
