well I am going to post pics of the progress of the Roush charger install over the next few days. I took this week off for Thanksgiving to do the install at a slower pace.

Day 1
After working the 12 hr night shift I get home and cant wait to start the install. So like a dummy I do(note to self take nap next time).

This is my starting point

air intake removed, fan and fan shroud removed and upper radiator hose

removing intake, and yes a 6'4" man can fit in the engine compartment

intake removed

 

intake ports all cleaned and taped up. ready for coil and plug removal

now this is where one plug breaks off see this thread on that ordeal.

ok it is after 6:00 pm and I am now exhausted after being up for over 28hrs going to bed.

Day 2
taking the day off after being idiot and staying up to long the previous day will start day 3 on monday.

 

That's awesome Huitt, I love it when folks install these themselves. I couldn't muster up the courage to tear my engine down and do it myself.

Good luck with it!

 

Keep them pictures coming,is great to see your progress.

 

Congrats on doing it yourself.... it isn't as hard as some may think and once you have done it, you will have alot more satisfaction. And once you have done one, you will have alot more confidence to in your abilities. Plus, you will know when something isn't right in the future (hard to explain). Sleep.....been there....you think "I can't believe I made that mistake" LOL! Who wants to wait!! I finally decided to get supercharger for one of my mustangs and my mechanic (no time myself) said it would be two weeks to get it done. I am like....TWO WEEKS!! I can't wait that long. He was like "Listen, you kicked around the idea for one year, now you can't wait two weeks?" NO!!! Well I could but, I want to to drive it, I want to drive it now!!! Like a kid at christmas! hehe

Congrats, I can't wait to see your pictures and how you do it. Keep us posted

 

Awesome thread and pictures! I'm going to love watching this one!

Thanks again,

Duke

 

Way to go Huitt...You just feel much more satisfaction when you do it yourself...

 

looks like you will be eating thanksgiving dinner in the garage

 

Nice! I cant wait to see some dyno numbers. and a sound clip

 

Get plenty of rest so we can drool over the pics! Fine thread!

 

The pictures are great....ive been thinkin about doin this as well but the warrenty issue always comes up....since u already bought the charger maybe you can tell me whats up with that....

 

hey huitt good to see things coming along. keep me posted buddy. im going to be doing my intake mos this week after i get the rear resonaters removed.

 

Ahhhh I remember those days! Took me 3 days after work each day so it's not too hard, and kinda fun.

 

I love the do it yourself attitude. Thanks for posting the pics and can't wait to get an update.

 

Don't foret to change the plugs while the intake is off. A little easier that way. I didn't get the plugs until later and wish I had done them with everything out of the way..DUH! Doing it yourself you're going to know its done right! You're going to love it when its done!
