Roush TVS Install

[deepsouthtech]

Ditched the nitrous. Starting on TVS and thought I would share some pics. Waiting on Fedex to deliver the goods.

This was surprising to me. Shouldn't there be more ribs here? Am I only going to have to grind the bosses down?

They changed the front cover recently, yours looks like the one that came in the TSB parts I have for the A/C knock that uses a spring tensioner for the AC belt as opposed to the 'stretchy' belt.

Looks like it will be less work to grind for sure.

Keep posting pictures, I love seeing these.

Keep us updated on what has to be ground off on the new cover. I'll be doing mine in the next couple of weeks.

Put the paddle bits to work this morning on two of the bosses. The instructions reference cutting them down to the height of the ribs, but as I have no ribs to reference I am not sure this is low enough.

Both bosses will have to be ground some more. The top one especially.

Yeah, I have referenced that thread here on svt. Props to "S197 GT"

Should be good on those two bosses now.

I hope that the pilot on your paddle bit didnt penetrate through the timing cover.

Nah, I took channel locks and broke the tips down as I went. Watched that very carefully!

 

[Chuck@Evolution]

Good.

If you have any questions about doing the install let me know.

Thanks Chuck. Appreciate it!

Don't ditch the spray use it as another intercooler. A 30-50 shot is very nice on blower cars.

Are the knock sensors different in a 2012 also? Looks like mine might not need rotating

Post pictures of the paddle bits that you used and where did you buy them.You sure did a great job on the front cover

 

[deepsouthtech]

Just some from a set I had gotten at walmart. I took bolt cutters and shortened them so my drill would fit without pulling the radiator out. They are toast now

You can see where I broke the points off also so that they didn't drill into the cover.

im installing mine this weekend on my 2012 and i thought i didnt notice any ribs and looks like your knock sensors are already rotated

 

[alex12gt]

so on the 12 is there just 2 bosses that have to be taken down?

 

[deepsouthtech]

Still have to notch the third boss, just haven't started on that.

Are those designed for metal? I've only seen them for wood, but if it works, hey...
