OK, some more pics....

New water pump for the intercooler.


Reservior for intercooler. Mounted with additional bracket for the 07+.


Man this thing looks sweet!!!


New pulleys and alternator relocation bracket.


Should have more tonight. Finishing up the hoses and pulley removal/stock re-install this morning, then on to the tedious steps, wiring, etc...

Al, I trust that you're staying proper hydrated throughout this install...... The cute little helpers are bringing you refreshments, right?

EastCoast07GtCs

Thank you for thinking about me my friend, and yes, they have been wonderful helpers. The only problem is they like to blow over top of the bottle to make it whistle... Used to be OK when they were patient and waited until I was finished, but now, all I hear is, "Daddy, are you done yet????" lol

Got through the rest of the cooling hose conversion, and got the Steeda pulley removed. Got the new 39lb injectors installed along with the fuel rails and lines. Sorry pics, are gonna have to wait, mother nature put the brakes on things, at least for now...

Can someone say.. "Auntie Em!!!!!"

Beautiful Al, I cant imagine the excitement you're having. Cant wait to see finished pics and dyno numbers!

Thanks Anthony. I have to say, it's pretty difficult. I'm doing my best to take my time so I don't miss anything or make a mistake, but I also want to hurry and get it done so I can enjoy it!!!

Had a tough day today because of all the storms, lost power a couple times... Feels like a waste of a day...

EastCoast07GtCs

Well, hit another little snag folks.... Went out after the storms passed last night to continue the install, got to the point where I was setting up the vacuum lines as per Brenspeed's instructions. Was moving along fine until I noticed that the long vacuum hose that came with the SC was dangling. Turns out the nipple on the actuator was broken off and sitting the the hose.

Not much I could do about it, so I called Brenspeed this morning and talked with Seth. Once again, excellent service!!! Seth told me that they are a vulnerable part when it comes to shipping and probably break about 25% of the time. He is shipping me out a new one today so I should have it by Wednesday. So in the meantime, looks like I'll be finishing up the wiring today and waiting on the actuator...

BTW... The new fuel injectors in Ford blue look SWEET against the black background of the Saleen!!!

Man that sucks, but at least you're dealing with the Brenspeed guys, I always say they are the most amazing staff and a lot of companies could learn from them. Not once have I ever emailed them or called them and not had a resolution immediately.
You're only making me want to make the plunge myself!

tom281

Do it, you pansy.........

((high-school style peer pressure ))

EastCoast07GtCs

Yea Anthony, grow a set!!!! (Poor job at imitating Tom's high school peer pressure )

Seriously though, I can't say enough about those guys. And while I decided to do this install myself, I know I'lll come up with some reason to make it out there to meet them in person.

Hey Tom, would it still be Scott's turn to buy breakfast??? LMAO

StillenMustang07

Looks like things are moving along very well. Excellent job for your first time

Keep up the good work and post pictures often

Cool man can't wait to see it when its finished. Do you think you'll have it done and be able to bring her to the nmra at Atco?

Reminisce

Haha you guys are a trip. Unfortunately, I have about $8000 debt on one card and about $3000 on the other, so I will have to bring that down a bit before I dump another 5-6k on it. Unless I can find a way to roll it onto my car payments (hah yeah right, if you know of a way, let me know), it will have to wait. Thankfully I just got a 22k/year salary bump, so it will make it easier, but in the meantime I will just drool over you guys

EastCoast07GtCs

Haha, I know what you mean. Remember that commercial that was on a while ago... "See my house? See all my toys??? I'm in debt up to my eyeballs!!!"

tom281

Yes, I believe so......

I hear ya....... take care of your priorities and then get things in line.

Hey Tom, would it still be Scott's turn to buy breakfast??? LMAO[/quote


Yes sir. That offer is still open. Maybe when you come to Brenspeed for your cam install.
Scott

dly

mmmmm Breakfast... I'm in

EastCoast07GtCs

Well, looks like tomorrow is the day!!!! Just checked UPS, my actuator is in the local hub for delivery tomorrow.. Got the water pump all wired up tonight, and swapped out the SC pulleys, so at this point all I'll need to do is install the new actuator bypass, hook up the vacuum line and I'll be ready to start her up!!! I've been really careful during the install, but knowing my luck, I left the fascia off just in case... I'll have the final install pics up tomorrow, and if all goes as planned, possibly a video or two.

EastCoast07GtCs

Was wondering when you were going to catch that one Scott.

I have to tell you, when I was talking with Seth and mentioned coming out to see you guys and about breakfast he told me about a place that's supposed to have the BEST around! He sad you and Tom would know the place... LOL

Now as for a cam install... let's just say it will probably be more of a social visit if I want to get out there sometime in the near future. LMAO

EastCoast07GtCs

Thanks Page, it's been alot of fun. I ran into a few snags, mostly those that would be easier if it weren't my first time, but it has been great. I've got more pics, just been wiped trying to get things done and still get up at 5am for work...

I'll be posting more of the completed install tomorrow night at some point.
