2015 "Ruby" 2.9 Whipple Supercharger Install
#24
Well, progress was made today
Where I started today. I ended up having each knock sensor leave the back of the valley on their own sides. I just felt this worked better but I forgot to take a picture
Gaskets installed
The provided MAP sensor in place
Fuel rails assembled
Fuel rails in place
The underbelly of the blower
The massive intercooler
Lower manifold/intercooler installed. Now we are getting somewhere

Pulley bracket assembled
Assembled
Filled with oil
Blower in its home
Where I ended for the day. Serpentine belt is in place and the blower itself is 90% done. Just need to connect heater hoses then I'm on to installing the heat exchanger, reservoir and hoses then the TB, intake and fans with wiring. With a little luck I'll Finnish all that tomorrow.

sweet. doesn't look like it took too much doing to get there, no offense to you sir.
Wish my buddy would have bought a roots type kit like this instead of his Paxton on his 11 5.0
what kind of numbers are you hoping to hit? like 550rwhp/600rw-tq?

Love it man, love the s/c look and feel. I can only imagine what it feels like in a truck

Well, day 3 completed yesterday
Reservoir & pump assembled
Reservoir in place
Heat exchanger in place
Front view w/ fans
Where I ended up for the day
All that's left is to assemble throttle body, install air box and run the wiring for fans & pump. Hopefully I get my tune emailed to me so I can fire her up the day I Finnish.
