Watch this thread if you are interested in Supercharging your GT
Kenne Bell kit will arrive Monday, 1/27!
I plan on documenting the project with a few pics...and fewer words...haha.
More Power!


It is actually in town, just waiting for delivery on "the next business day"


Gonna have me some fun!

 

Ah well...life just got in the way. I should be starting this project shortly, after some unexpected health issues, that had me hospitalized for a few days.
Blower is sitting on the garage floor, ready for me, when I am ready for it!
Getting anxious.

 

Sure is purdy!

Glad to hear the health issues are working out. Health is definitely the most important thing.

 

first most, I hope health issues are going well!
Second, I cannot wait to hear and see about the before and after!

 

Nice, hope you're feeling better Gar, and will be subbing to this thread.

 

Doing better each day!
Thanks so much for the well-wishes!!!!!

 

Gauges, and Gauge pod ordered.
Cant be boosted, without a boost gauge. Fuel pressure is a must, as well!
The gauges I like, are white face, so I had to get a new white face kit for the other gauges, as well.
The fuel pressure is electric...cant have fuel inside a street car.
I will start the project next week, picking off the smaller facets of the job, and then I will do the supercharger over the weekend of April 25,26, & 27.
That is the plan, anyway.

 

What do you think.
Leave the gauge bezel black, paint it to match the dark charcoal interior, or get it wrapped in a carbon fiber vinyl?
Let me know!

 

Carbon fiber.

 

. . . . painted to match, and if you don't like it . . . . wrap it!

 

Gonna paint to match...started today, with the white faced gauges...Painting tomorrow with the gauge wiring, and tubing routed to the engine bay, then finish on Sunday.


Wow, looking at this picture, I need to take a rag to the spaces behind the dash cover...:/

 

Upon opening the package, they sent me the wrong boost gauge, but this one will work.
I am not sure I like the color of the paint I used, but we will see. I can always change it.
Anyway, project not necessarily done, so I will call it "pending".

 

Getting closer...chomping at the bit...

 

Looking good!

 

Took another step in getting the S/C build underway, by installing the heat exchanger.
Very straight forward, and all parts included, including fasteners.
I am already liking this kit!

 

All wires are run where they need to be, not hooked up yet, though...Boost-a-Pump installed, and wires run...all gauges ready to connect.
Thursday for tear down, Friday continue tear down, and install the blower...Saturday for details, wiring, and adding fluids, then hope to fire it off.
Sunday, is set aside to just drive!!!!

 

Ok folks, this weekend is the weekend to get-r-done!!!

 

Thursday after work, finished disassembly, and some prep work for the install part of the project.
...more pics today!

 

...I did do some cleaning this morning waiting for my helper to show up, so it looks allot better!
