S/c Install Hints And Tips

[Nick The Greek]

Quite a few of you on here have fitted this kit, so am after some hints and tips, unexpected items required blah de blah de blah :D

[TheDon]

Be prepared!!!

The instuctions dont realy let you in for what your going to install.

need:

Very high quality tool kit, preferably with several sizes of ratchets in there, so that you can have a very small ratchet for tight areas and a large one for torque.

Also when removing the stud from the throttle body, you need to take the nut off, spin it on upside down, put another nut on top and lock them together so that you can remove the stud without problems.

Lots of thread lock compound!!

A drill for mounting the intercooler.

Car ramps, so that you have a steady platform to work under the car with.

hacksaw etc to remove unwanted areas from origional undertray.

as i think of more i will put it up

cheers, i've had a scan through the instructions, and it seems simple..... i thought something might be missing though! I have quite an extensive toolkit, and i'll be getting my mate to bring over his as well!

It's the little bits i need to remember about, ie, drill bit size, primer if drilling into the chassis, threadlock like you mentioned...

[aido]

I'm looking forward to seeing your face when it's all done mate, you need to get your mate to get some video of you the first time you took it out, Mr Shipley saw me the first time I drove it as I was with Chris and then I called Zee and I think they'll both agree that I was hyperactive when it was all fitted :D

[Kazi]

Making me very jealous......swines

Whats a ball part figure for fitting these things?

[TheDon]

just take your time realy, dont rush.

the only problems you will encounter is making sure you use the right bolt in the right place.

Plus when you mount the cradle in the engine bay you will find it difficult to get all of the bolts needed to tighten it in and threaded, make sure you get each one in 3 turns and not fully tight, as if you tighten one in then it will stop the rest aligning (if you know what i mean)

Think Steve at Charlesworth does it for a few hundred quid, and he's done loads now!

Taking mine up there today to have everything put back to standard

No more big pimping for me

But it will be good to be incognito nowadays :)

[TheDon]

depends realy! i have now fitted 3 superchargers along with removing my one and refitting it 3 more times!

Can get it done in about 6/8 hrs.

I am based in kent about 30 mins from the dartford tunnel...

[Gord]

Nick as i said please give me a call if you need to :D i will pm you my munber :D

[lexus boy]

easy peasy stuff

think mat and i fitted mine, and the manifold in about 4 hours.

nothing complex about it reallly

[Kazi]

The more and more I think about one of these TTE s/c the more I want one, but im impatient, if I buy one I don't want to muck about myself and want it fitting by someone with experience and someone who can do it efficiently.

So looking at what ................£300 for fitting? :duh:

[lexus boy]

fit it urself, im sure ppl on here will be willing to help.

cheaper to provide some food and drinks than it is to get it fitted.

loads of people on here have now fitted them

Whilstim fairly ok mechanically, Im a salesman.... and getting my pinkies dirty is not the norm.....

Although sounds like a good idea to get a small gathering and provide refreshments etc. Its just he ramps that Id struggle with?

[lexus boy]

a few people on here could help out and between us we could get everything together to do the job

[Mr Morse]

Kaz - there are loads of us grease monkey types in the East Mids, sure we could get together somewhere and get you sorted bud :winky:

[Kazi]

Spot thanks Mr Morse, just need to find a S/C! :D

[Nick The Greek]

I got a few weeks to gte my bits and bobs together, planning on fitting it on fireworks day! :D

[jasper]

if thats the case then i'll be down like a shot! beats installing it on my driveway! :D

side note here and slightly

can the supercharger be disconnected in anyway? ie, remove a belt and your back to standard power? or is it slightly more involved than that?
