Surgery is underway! In summary the KB install manual is 454 line items. I quit tonight on Item #55 which involved removing the front fascia. I'll pick up in the morning! Enjoy!

In summary for tonight, the intake tube, airbox, all hoses connecting to it, the intake manifold, fuel rails, etc. were removed. I pulled everything off of the intake manifold I'll reuse. Removed the fuel rails, swapped out the injectors with the new 80's and removed the throttle body from the manifold. The next steps tomorrow are to remove the front fascia and start making mods to accommodate the large intake tube. My goal is to get halfway through by the end of the day tomorrow, which would be for all the cutting to be done, air-to-water intercooler installed, bracket with pulleys installed, etc. I aim to have it all done by Friday night, but if it spills a little bit into the weekend, so be it. I'll post up more tomorrow!

Taking a quick lunch break. Here's what I've got so far today. Removed front fascia, headlight, moved horns, clearanced fender and behind the headlight for the inlet tube, reclocked the knock sensors, installed the air-to-water intercooler, installed the fuel rail and injectors. I'll be installing the bracket and heat exchanger next I believe. Enjoy!

You are a braver man than I, Sir! I've done several Prochargers, but when I saw the book on these, I knew HPP would get ALL my money for this one!

Just called it a day. I'm gassed. I got to step 239 which was a little past where I needed to for today. I got the evap reinstalled, IAT and TB harness extensions done. Fuel system is 100% now. Swapped plugs, mounted the pulley bracket, PCV lines, etc. The next step is getting the heat exchanger and pump mounted and wired up. Then setting the head unit on! Woohoo! I need a hot shower. My back is killing me.

Almost there! I've got to pick up some antifreeze and some fuel line to replace the coolant overflow line. Then put the front end on, load the temp tune, and fire it up!

**Doug1227** · 05-04-2013, 02:51 PM

All buttoned up! Found one water leak, but besides that, it went pretty smoothly. Loaded the tune, pulled it out of the driveway to sweep my mess up. I'll limp it to HPP on Monday for the final tune. Hell yeah! I'll follow these pics in a minute with the first start.

Nice Doug! Looks like you did a great job there dude. Can't wait to see what it makes...

**Doug1227** · 05-04-2013, 03:05 PM

Thanks man. It was a workout. Honestly it wasn't that bad except that I pulled a full on sprint to get it all done quickly. When I installed my turbo kit, I took a couple of weeks, working on it a few hours each night. This was a full on 8 hours per day for 2-1/2 days pretty much. Glad to have it done.

It's ALIVE!
