Hi Guys, Even though my dad wants me to get my S/C fitted at a garage i think im just gonna bring it along to JAE!

Just wondering who might be able to give me a hand fitting it?

I'll bring along a couple of crates of beer to help with the process anyone is more than welcome get stuck in and also may be good for anyone looking to get a S/C themselves to see how its done!
Not sure on where will be best to do it though, as i havent seen any of the camping arrangments??


Tom.

Oh, what beer does everyone like

will be easy mate, it wont be the first time ones been fitted at JAE

i'll be there matey, if i can help in any way i will

i@ll help.

I've got a special 5point torx set for the ecu, i'll bring a socket set as well.

You'll need to bring a drill and the right size bit to drill the hole for the charger (its in the instructions)

I'm sure people should have anything else thats needed.

Stav

I have a drill somewhere, extension lead and i think i still have a power inverter too
Will bring my socket set, alan keys, spanners and some WD40!
(and a hammer )

Tom.

everyone drinks Pimms and Babycham

HAHA Pimms! Will just get a crate of stella and fosters? most people shud like that! plus its free lol

Tom.

And dose the Adam & The Ants dance like on TV

You've lost me there! Is that a showing of age thing??

Tom.

not in the same glass though

The Advert for Pimms when the guy turns up at a rave and they dance like Adam and the ants at the end?

I'll drink fosters, carling whatever.

I get ya now Takes a while some times

Tom.

I will keep an eye on you Stav, to make sure you fit it right this time, with tin of Stella in hand

Lol i never fitted it wrong just had one page missing from my instructions then!

Got the full set now!

Stella??? that stuff could strip wallpaper

Fitting a S/c in open air can be done (not too hard).
If you still got the black ecu that's easy to install so no problem there either.
If you got the silver one I would't want to do this on a rainy day. (for unplugging the wires I would suggest to have the tool available that TTE advises, as small/customised mini screwdriver will work but not as well)

Instructions, im sure we will not be using them Stav what with your hands and my brains we are not going to get it wrong

So Stav is good with his hands

Really looking forward to it, and meeting you all as i havent been able to attend any meets yet!
Are we going to do it on the Saturday or Sunday? As i dont want to take up too much of everyones time, i mean were there to see the show
Also i dont have a Soldering Iron, so if someone could bring one for the ECU would be great
Cheers,

Tom.

Depends on what day you coming ? i think sat would be best Tom, yes Stav likes getting is hands dirty

LOL I'll pack some Swafega as well then.

wow!... is fitting a s/c "that" easy, you can do at an event??

Its a good few hours work, but if your capable with a socket set then the TTE kit is.

Well I'll be at the JAE as from about 8am! Will see you guys there!
If someone could PM me there number it would be great so i can call you to meet up

Have a good night and see ya 2moro!! Drive safe as no doubt there will be ALOT of police about

Tom.

Just head for the LOC stand. I don't know anyone "in real life" either, but that's my plan for meeting up with everyone else !

Good luck with fitting the charger! have fun .

Steve

Cheers mate! ive got everything i need! so should be good to finaly have it on the car, even better to finaly meet everyone!

See you all at JAE!

Tom.

Yep, he did it ! With help from various friendly LOC members (especially Stav and Gord).

I took quite a few pics of the process and will post them up in due course ! Was really interesting to see it happening.

YEP DID IT!!

Took me about 5 hours in total! i forgot to bring my camera so was really good that Steve ^^ took some pics befroe during and after! Still have a few niggly things to sort out but all is good and loving it soo far!

Cheers for everyones help was really good! Good to finaly meet you all and put faces to names!
Hope you all had a good weekend and enjoyed the hot weather!

Tom.

So how does your car go now ?

And has your Dad found out yet ?

Car is running good! i replaced a Spring and Washer on the charger because the throttle bypass wasnt closing properly, and now i only have to put in one bolt and sort out the rubber ring on the BOV to stop it leaking boost! Need to get a part number for the missing bolt! And find somewhere to get the O ring for the BOV!

Yeh he found out and wasnt too bad about it! just said he hopes it is all ok and running fine

Cheers once again for your help and taking the pics! will be good to see them wen you have time to put them up! I'll take some when the the induction kit is on

Tom.

Glad its on and running OK Tom and nice to meet you mate at JAE Enjoy it

Glad to hear it's running well and that you didn't get into too much trouble ! Will post pics very soon.

Glad its ok Tom, i'll have a look today i may have a spare BOV seal.

Stav

Before :



After (the tape is holding the air filter in because Tom didn't have the modified airbox lid with him :


I will post some more pics of the process in the JAE thread in the Club Meetings section.

great work lads

Cheers again guys, the car is running really well and im enjoyin the look on peoples faces as i go past as no one expected me to actually get it all done

Stav would be really good if you did have a spare seal! i can sometimes hear a slight whistle when accelerating , have made sure all connections are tight so am guessing it is leaking boost from the BOV.
I PM'd Rolex but he already got the bracket he needed from TTE.

Cheers for everyones help and was good meeting you all! Will deff make more effort to come to more of the meets!

Tom.

I'll have a look now mate, did you tighted up the belt some more?

Did your airbox top fit ok? Also dont forget that bolt!

Stav

Edit: Found it, i'll drop you a pm now.

Well done guys.

Welcome to the charged side.

Look into induction kits, they sound turly awesome!

He is doing fella!!

Yeh speaking to a few people about Industion Kits So ive got a cut up airbox and some duct tape to stop any air leaking at the mo!

I'm going to try to contact TTE to see what size the bold i need is, as its a different type of thread to the bolts ive to lying around? Is there anyone in paticular i need to contact?

I got my mate to push against the pulley tensioner so i could get it tighter! Looks alot better now and doesnt flex

Really enjoying the charger! Was great to meet everyone there and get idea's of what else to do next

Tom.

I'm green with envy

You should try and get one! I'm loving the extra bit of power, just want an LSD and maybe some ARB's and she will be done for now!!

Tom.

you will love the ARB's as much as the Charger

No i wont! I crashed the car on Staurday night! A bit shaken up but all ok and no one was hut!
When i have some more time and not so many calls to make i will put up a propper post!

Tom.

Really sorry to hear this mate, how bad is the damage/how fast were you going ?

Glad to hear that you were ok, sorry to hear about the car

gutted mate at least your ok

NOOO what happened mate so sorry to hear about the car, at least everyone is ok....

Gutted mate,

As everyones asked, what happened?

Glad your ok though,.

Stav

Savage.

Unlucky mate.
