Ok, I've had a few fellow Mach owners ask for updates on the build so I thought it'd be helpful for anyone's future reference to have a build thread. Please direct all questions in this thread and not through PM in order to keep the discussion alive. :beer:
To start things off, my motor is already built: 9cc pistons (9.5:1 CR) and I have enough fuel to feed a bonfire. Some of you know I used to have TT's so I just had to swap power adders, basically. So, the run down of the setup is:
- Built Motor (stock heads/cams/intake/TB)
- Dual -6an fuel line, GT pumps, dual FPDM's, FORE rails and FORE hat.
- Bassani mid-lengths, Bassani catted X, Borla Stingers
- F1A w/ RR 4.15 pulley, stock-sized crank pulley (~14 psi) ...for now.
- Procharger 3-core intercooler
- BGG 8-rib setup
Now, let's get to the progress!
BGG 8-rib setup installed.
Intercooler mocked up.
I bought a D1 kit used, but it was missing some pieces unfortunately; made a bracket for the top intercooler mount.
Size comparison (can of tuna is an inside joke with a buddy at work).
Blower pulley installed. Apparently, Procharger provides a step washer to rest on the shaft inside the pulley ...I didn't have that. So, I made an aluminum bushing, then put a good sized washer and a lock washer under the head of the bolt (not shown).
Mocked up in the car. The spacers BGG provided to realign the supercharger were NOT enough. I had to use about 6 washers on the top left mount, 7 washers on the bottom left mount, and 4 washers on both sides of the blower idler pulley; otherwise, I'd be smacking my alternator.
Blower is not bolted up in this pic, so don't reference this for alignment!
I have a nice interference issue with the temp sensor connector. The rubber elbow I have is for a P1/D1 setup. I need to find a shorter radius elbow.
...massive.
Enclosed race bypass valve (which I will run open for a while).
I will be updating this thread as I progress through the build ...stay tuned. :beer:
