2012 CBP FG4

Did the package come with gaskets like throttle body and intake manifold (if needed)

 

[fahnix]

Yup! I read through the instructions like 4 or 5 times. I think I've got everything it references. I counted bolts and all. It's all neatly bagged and labelled.

Had to order a new coupler for the SK2 intake since I have the ZDX now.

 

[ron v]

Is it that weird angled one?

 

[fahnix]

Naw, that's the RBC one. I had to get this one.

The Grams TB is basically a J37 TB I think.

Updates! Updates! Updates!

 

[fahnix]

I will

I definitely didn't take as many as I would have liked (got old washing my hands to take pics REAL quick) , but I got some. I need to upload to my PC so I don't have to fool around with browser upload on my phone.

Nice purchase. I wish they still sold this style of supercharger. I'd like to do this to mine.

Thanks! MercRacing does a similar kit. Couple of guys over on the other forum that run it.

Install completed over the past weekend, but had to have the tune modified, so I didn't get it running until yesterday.

Big ups to @ron v. Couldn't have done it without him. It was a massive undertaking to do all these installs at once, but we did it! After a combined 24 hours + of wrenching over 3 days, THE SUPERCHARGER LIVES!!!!

That is a huge update! You guys really did a ton of mods all at once. For tuning fun next

Many hours under the car. Lots of wrench turning. Fun and not fun at the same time but we got it done lol.

So. Sore. And you got that right. It was lots of fun... Until it wasn't. And then it was! And then it wasn't .

But then it was!!!!

And now I'm ready for dat whine!

Yeah yeah yeah.

The whole thing needs to be cleaned. I took it through the carwash this morning to get off most of the fluids and shiz. Now I'm gonna need to go through the bay with some degreaser and clean it up. I'll probably end up waiting for the heatwave to peace out first though.

 

[DerWeißeTeufel]

I see the battery bay had moved in order for the CAI to fit in.

 

[fahnix]

Yep. All of the cold air systems for our car will require battery relocation.

TIL:

Group-A Engineering is Kraftwerks/Grams Performance/Skunk2 and they're based right up the road in Norco, CA.

Had no clue they were all the same company. Got some cool stickers with the Grams PnP clips I had to get.
