[QUOTE="speedofsound, post: 8065649, member: 33243"] 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. [IMG]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_sWoHu8KBRVE/Sg79Cj0sHFI/AAAAAAAAAH0/tPc2Y0a-tKk/s800/IMG_2554-1.JPG[/IMG] Intercooler mocked up. [IMG]http://lh4.ggpht.com/_sWoHu8KBRVE/Sg79DhEj72I/AAAAAAAAAH8/DviemwxBPtA/s800/IMG_2566-1.JPG[/IMG] I bought a D1 kit used, but it was missing some pieces unfortunately; made a bracket for the top intercooler mount.

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).

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. [IMG]http://lh6.ggpht.com/_sWoHu8KBRVE/Sg79GUBqFeI/AAAAAAAAAIU/MQ0aMrjuqpo/s800/IMG_2612-1.JPG[/IMG] Blower is not bolted up in this pic, so don't reference this for alignment! [IMG]http://lh3.ggpht.com/_sWoHu8KBRVE/Sg79HgbiyMI/AAAAAAAAAIg/HpPb_25iSCc/s800/IMG_2632-1.JPG[/IMG] 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.
