Roushcharger install has started

[RandyB]

Keep 'em coming! Wow, I'm really impressed with all of the parts. I can't see why people don't think it's worth the money.

U SICK B! It's hard enough reading about the kit, but your fn awesome pics are KILLING ME!

Good luck with the install. I can't imagine the extra level of satisfaction to be gained by actually doing it yourself. Hat's off to you. Can't wait for the next batch of pics (even though they just twist me up inside with envy!!!).

I think this post, particularly with all the pictures, is one of the most informative and useful posts of all time... on any forum board.

Well the last day of 05 and we started of by mounting the water tank for intercooler


Then we jacked up car took off front wheels to be able to remove front half of inner fenders and the front bumper. Actually remove the front of the car was probably the easiest thing we have done. This is to install the cooler for intercooler.

We now installed the cooler and I must say the way it was built was like it came right from ford themselves it was perfect fit. We removed the crush beam
(styrofoam lol)from the front . Removed the 2 inside bumper bolts. this is where the cooler mounts. We then installed the 2 supllied hoses to the engine compartment on paseenger side the other to the drivers side fender area. this is where the water pump for inter cooler goes. On the pump side we had to cut a few inches of hose off at a time to get the kinks out of the hose.


























Had to adjust a/c lines to make sure they didn't rub against cooler

[toolttime]

Here's the intercooler water pump and bracket. We had to remove a plug from close to cpu and cut of a red wire. We then solderd the supllied harness for pump and ran near top of rad to the drivers side.

[toolttime]

Next we installed the supplied cooler autolite spark plugs. the order They do things in the instructions seem to make things easier to do. Like the spark plugs we be a little tight with everything on to change.







we then reinstalled the cooler lines we haad to modify into water pump under intake. Remove tape and clean the surface area to insatl the intake

[toolttime]

Now we are getting to the best stuff so far. The intake goes on !!!!!!!!!!!. You can see intercooler in mainfold hole where s/c will sit

[toolttime]

Then the s/c goes on!!!!! Now it is starting to look totally awsome now!!!!!!!










Then we installed the new fuel injectors and fuel rails. Notice how the crosover tube goes over the s/c

[toolttime]

Her The ATC sensor they supplied and we installed in intake This is the 2 wires from the MAF plug we cut off earlier. The seem to measure temp in manifold now instead of the air intake tube.

[toolttime]

We now had to mount the new alternator bracket. It is of high quality aluminum and it mounted on the 2 studs from the old location. It Looked like a factory piece high quality when installed. .We the installed a couple of idler pulleys and installed the new belt. Just one belt drives everthing. Belt was alost as tall as me. Definetly the page that shows where the belt goes is a must keeper in car in case you ever have to replace or remove belt. Even with the instructions it was a maze lol.

[toolttime]

The hose hanger bracket we had to trim still is pretty close to pulley.

[toolttime]

We plan on working it tommorow newyears day but depends how late we part and then fell toomorow. So then "HAppy New Year" to everyone see you next year.

I know - I was asking (in jest) whether perhaps jr was doing all the work, whilst you were taking all those excellent pics . Seems you're going to end up documenting every step.

Great job, both of you!

[RED ROUSH WA]
