Talking **taerae86 goes supercharged!**

soooo, i'm finally getting to do this!


PARTS:
***black is what I have, red is what I still need.


LSJ Supercharger (Ported)
Smoothflow 2.9 quick-change 5-bolt pulley
Gaskets
Heat exchanger w/ Brackets
LSJ intake manifold + gaskets (2.5 bar map/pigtail)
Dual pass endplate & surge tank
LSJ Alternator Bracket
Tensioner
LSJ Stage 2 belt
LSJ Idler Assembly
LSJ Upper Radiator Hose
LSJ Intercooler Pump & Mounting bracket
LS4 Throttle Body
60lb Injectors
RAW 3” CAI
AEM Wideband
Glowshift Tinted Boost Gauge
Glowshift Tinted Oil Pressure Gauge
Triple Pod Pillar
NGK Spark plugs (1 step colder)
Bolts
Tune


GOOD NEWS:
I'm looking at spring break install, so the second week in March. I dont drive the car until the end of April/beginning of May usually, but we've had a mild winter so i'm hoping by March all the salt and crap will be off the roads and i'll be able to data log and such then, if not, i'll wait for the weather to get nicer.


BAD NEWS:
UPS smashed the gauge pod and the one bolt hole off the IM. NOT happy. I'm going to end up fixing it myself because UPS is NO help and I feel like it will just make my life easier by fixing it. Plus i have all the resources to get the IM welded and i can fiberglass the gauge pod back hopefully since i was gonna cover it in suede anyway.

...and for fun, box 1 of 3 lol

hah, yeah. they want me to package everything back up and let them take it to an undisclosed location (nobody seemed to be able to tell me where it was actually going) to inspect it and see if they "may" be able to pay for it, even though there was insurance on it. i said if you think you're taking all those parts somewhere and i dont know where and if i'm getting it back, you're nuts. lol

should be fun, thanks!

goooood. hah i was thinking maybe 60's were a bad idea, but since i started researching a while ago i realized a bunch of people have them and are fine...



i'm kind of back and forth on the tune deal...the bf was trifecta tuned when he turbo'd two years ago, we know a local dealer so it was easy to just use his stuff and do it, so i just automatically figured i'd go with trifecta...but i was reading that thread about 2.2 sc problems or whatev and noticed that alot of the problems seemed to be coming from trifecta tuned cars... any thoughts?

hahah gooood!


i'm shooting to give myself enough time to run it for a bit before heading to the first show this year since it's a decent drive, just incase lol when we turbo'd the bf's, we put the tune on and took it for a 10 min ride before leaving for a six hour trip to a show lol

yeah, i saw that in that thread, it just seemed as though most of the problems were coming from trifecta tunes, which then got me thinking about whether i wanted to go with them or not, but i mean, it's obviously different from car to car lol so im leaning more towards trifecta currently lol

The gen2 2.2L is really surprising me.Im gonna try for 12.9 on stock internals with some porting and retune on E85 with HPT.If I break something then build time
