Lunch update: I got everything off that I need to other than the alternator and belt, changed fuel injectors and spliced on my map sensor plug, changed the dipstick, and changed the radiator hose (I didn't have pliers big enough for the clips so this was a pain in the ass. So far so good.

 

End of day update:
I got everything installed, except I didn't put the belt on the blower and it is loosely bolted down. My map sensor and pcm are arriving tomorrow and getting it running willl be the interesting part. I should note that I have not installed the heat exchanger yet, as I'm planning to get it running without first.

 

I should also note that I'm not leaving the wires how they are in the last picture it looks like garbage

 

I like them

 

all the wire loom just disintegrated when I touched it so I'll have to get some hahah

 

Looking good man!

 

Yay, boost time Supercharger wine always puts a smile on my face when I drive

 

whine em, dine em, 69 em

 

Looks like it's going together really well!

 

Soooo I accidentally ordered my map sensor to my parents house, but I will try to get it idling on the stock map today and the new one will be here Monday. Silly me

 

dang, I have a brand new lsj 2.5 bar tmap sitting here collecting dust

 

The only reason I had to order another is because zzp sent me a 2 bar when you need 4 bar for 2007+. Oh well no big deal I'll be biking to school on Monday

 

why do you need a 4 bar? You can use whatever you want

 

I should specify. The 4 bar uses the same plug as stock so no splicing

 

that makes more sense. But splicing is life

 

I ended up having to splice anyway cause the harness I bought had the 05-06 plug lol but now my pcm is tuned for the 4 bar

 

I just put on the belt and bolted down the blower more permanently. Now I'm just waiting for usps to deliver my pcm then cross my fingers that it actually runs

 

Does anyone know if my pcm is tuned for a 4 bar map if I can run a 2 bar? because I have one of those I could use to get me through until monday

 

I'm going to say you should be fine as long and you don't go into boost if it is tuned for the 4 bar map

 

Eh if I'm not going into boost I'll just use the stock map and not have to change map plugs. Thank you for the fast response!

 

Currently doing the security relearn. One of the most nerve wracking things I've done in a while this better start.

 

She runs! Idle is a little rough but that could be contributed to the wrong map reading too high

 

The (almost) finished product:
No heat exchanger yet, but that is a job for another day. I will take a video when I get my new map on monday, but for right now I can drive it around off boost. And NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS!

I'll also clean up the engine bay later after it cools down

 

You need to relocate the washer fluid and get a real intake on that, lol. Looking good though... I wish to this day my 06 was tuneable with hp tuners, I would have kept it and boosted it.
