    that one Procharged build thread *picture heavy updates*

    You might want to weld as much of that piping as you can to avoid blow offs. My pipes are three pieces altogether and joined by V clamps. The only rubber I have is at the throttle body and even that pipe is braced to the TB. Welded stock engine mounts and you really can't feel any difference.

    I have even blown my vacuum line off under the dash for the EATC with only the 20# street tune. You start cranking up the boost things start popping loose!

    I really liked my D1SC. It chewed up a belt one time too many and I switched to a twin screw. That was in the days before Thump tensioners, I had a steel one and it was reinforced to boot. Slung the belt, frayed it to shreds, and bent the tensioner.

    Consider adding the extra idler between the alternator and PS pump. It really helps.

    This is awesome pictures and editorial!!! I am just down the interstate from you (Exit 128). I'll look you up next time I am in that area. My Merc doesn't leave the garage much but your build looks like the hot ticket if I ever find myself on the receiving end of a failed motor. Kudos to Manley for correcting their issue with no questions asked.

    that is a very sick and clean setup, 0 turbulence in the charge air i bet. yea, for now im just going to have to work with what i got, my evos peak boost was 29.5psi and hit that daily, what i find best for silicone couplers, scuff up the ends to the pipes, and use hair spray. works like a charm, after i did that, i never had another issue with blowing out intercooler pipes.

    yup! thanks so much for reminding me, do you know a cheap place to find the pulley/ standoff/bolt? is there a kit?

    im also buying the thumprrr. i just havent yet becuase it makes me sweat thinking about spending 500 on a tensioner...

    Good move on the tensioner.

    Sorry, When I sold my setup I let the idler pulley go an can't recall the size. I know there are a few others who have done the mod, so somebody will probably chime in soon.

    I believe the pulley is Napa 36101. I can't remember for sure but seems to me the water pump pulley lip will need to be machined off.

    I had bought a stand off but didn't need it with my manual tensioners so I sold it.

    at this point im pretty upset at manley for this poor quality control, but it is what it is







    i called manely about it right away, and without hesitation or queestions they got the big end and little end measurements from me and got another rod on the way, plus a free shirt so im not too upset anymore, plus there is PLENTY more to do even though im at a stand still with the motor...

    i know! i can change my rear end gears (going from 4.30s to 3.73s) why? becuase ~600 hp and 4.30 gears is stupid. your leg would fall off every race from pedaling so much. plus thisis my daily, and im tired of cruising at 3k plus rpm at 70-80 mph. i gotta save gas somehow!


    You are not alone. I too like the lower revs at freeway cruising speeds. Our Freeways are 75MPH which means 80mph is slow and will get you run over by an 18 wheeler.

    Looks AWESOME, thanks you for sharing, and for your service to our country.
