Looking good guys. Post up those dyno sheets. Don't forget to tell the tuner to hook up the boost source to the dyno.

So you can get it on your graph, to see your boost curve.,

On a scale of 1 - 10 how difficult of a project was this to install? (10 being the most difficult) also how long did it take you? Thanks much!

I would say the install length depends on how mechanically inclined and organized you are. The install would have taken me alone probably 4 solid days. I am mechanically inclined, I made a binder with all of the install instructions that I could check off as I did them and I only drank moderately lol. With that said, some issues with the SC and my fuel system had the car down for a grand total of a month, I believe. I would probably give it a 5 on the difficulty scale.

EDIT: I also installed the CJM S1-SE fuel return system, billet tophat, AEM? Fuel pump relay/upgraded wiring, and the AMS lightweight crank pulley.

From the start, SC install took me 3 days of 5-6 hours a day. And the Air to air took me 2 days of 2-3 hours a day

Even though I didn't do my install I did monitor the progress daily. Wouldn't you say the fuel system was the most complex part?

overtureZ

I suppose, I didn't really think anything was to complex

Anyone dealt with 928 lately? My SC arrived there for a rebuild on the2nd and I haven't heard a single thing from them acknowledging anything other than my receipt for paying for rebuild and i heard turnaround time was very short with them. I called and emailed them multiple times before ordering/sending off but was never able to get a hold of anybody but went ahead because i heard good things. Pretty nervous for now i'd hold off on using them until further notice

Yes. Just because of the cutting required, making sure that gasket stays fuel-free and the wiring of the pump up to the new tophat.

Please keep us updated on this issue.

I double-checked your build thread, and didn't find a detail on the fuel system and wiring install. Is this complicated enough that a step-by-step description would be helpful for others who are planning the upgrade...similar to what TBatt did for the tophat?

turtle64b

It's not complicated, just difficult to get the hoses routed through all the right places as far as the system installation goes. The fuel system mods took about half of my install time. The directions provided with the system are really good, so I didn't feel that my own walkthrough was necessary, it's just meticulous.

The only tips I would have only reinforce common sense like ensuring everything is tight and doesn't leak! When it comes to the wiring, the wires are somewhat easy to pinch and you have to ensure that they are secure in the connectors.

As you guys may not know i have started on my Air to Air build with Soho motorosports. Pretty much trying to mimic what Evan did with out a built motor. E85 with 928 Super Vortech Upgrade. Will keep everyone posted with the final numbers and how it all went.
