OKAY HERE THEY ARE! THE ROUGH DRAFT PROCHARGER PICS. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?!

[BATMAN]

Got home at 9:00PM from Bill's shop and was ready to post the pics and nothing happens when i click on internet explorer. My ISP lost their DHCP/DNS server and i had no internet service. I am uploading the pics right now at work and I will post them within the hour. I asked V6maro to post that i lost internet service last night, but i don't know if he got a chance to. If its not one thing, its something else.

Well here are the ones i have so far. I am going back there again today to take more. Now mind you... these are "rough draft" pics. THE ONLY REASON i am posting them is to apease your appetite. If i had it my way, i would post the pics once everything was done. [img]redface.gif[/img]

The final pics will show everything under a much different light because everything will be polished and powdercoated and cleaned in other words it will be the "eye candy" pics you wanted. [img]graemlins/evilgrin.gif[/img]

Please excuse my car. It is very dirty from the winter. For those of you who have seen it clean, you probably won't even recognize it. This is the first winter my baby has ever seen. Normally its stored, but normally i can count on my wife's blazer for tranportation. However since i am divorcing her, that is no longer an option. However because my car is in the shop, i am paying her while i use her blazer. The things i do for you guys to get this done [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img]

Front view of intercooler. Notice it is mounted diagonally and not parrellel to the ground. Yes at the time (tuesday) when i took the pic Bill hadn't welded the bracket of the intercooler to the car. Thats why its propped up but Wednesday when i went its all mounted and welded on

Close up of the intercooler

Duct work coming from sides of intercooler behind the Scrape gaurd

Passenger's side view of intercooler and the duct work coming out of it. Notice again the angle at which the intercooler is mounted. It is not parallel to the ground

Driver's side view of intercooler and the duct work coming out of it. At the time the BOV was not installed and the duct work going to the throttle body was not installed

Duct work coming from left side of intercooler going up to throtle body

Blow off Valve mounted on left side behind fog light

P1SC polished

I wanted to take more pics, but my mem card was full. I will be going back there to take more. No V6maro, i didn't have the extra mem card i bought from you with me.

Now i KNOW some of you will have your opinions...again if they aren't nice, keep them to yourself till i post the final pics i am talking about.

I also know that some of you are going to say that the intercooler is going to block the airflow to the radiator...especially since there is a known issue with the ATI LT1 kits (as well as the intercooler stefan is using on his kit) intercooler blocking the air flow to the radiator and causing the engine to over heat.

Yes, there is a chance for that and we won't know till we run the thing, BUT... we have 2 reasons why think this isn't going to happen.

A) In the LT1 kit, the ATI intercooler is mounted parrallel to the ground. IF mounted too high it does block the airflow especially when air hits it, its hitting the side wall of the intercooler and not the grillside of the intercooler.

Bill's custom intercooler on the otherhand is mounted diagonally to air flow. Air is hitting the grillside of the intercooler and allows air to still pas through to the radiator.

B) The more and more we go through this kit, the more and more we realize that it may be necessary to make the PCM tuning manditory. The reason for that is because with PCM tuning you can keep the radiator fans on all the time. Whereas now, your stock cal tells the fans only to turn on when the car is idle. When the car is moving, it relies on air flow to cool the radiator. There are other reason why we are leaning toward a manditory PCM tuning. HOWEVER...keep in mind we haven't completely decided on it yet. It all depends on what kind of numbers and readings we get in our intial run of the car with the kit on it.

Again, keep in mind that these are developemental pics and not final product.

Please keep in mind that this is all copyrighted work so don't go posting these pics or coping them else where without the permission of ATI and Mach Performance. Thank You. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Still waiting

Thank you guys for tkaing the time to make this kit.
Many people here do not understand how long it takes to make a supercharger kit that was never meant to be installed on our cars, then make it safe, but make good power, etc etc etc.

I'm still a BIG supporter of you guys!!

[v6maro]

awesome job!
you should have had my mem card with you! =)
LOL

I know, I know... i was hitting myself for forgetting it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Awesome pics!!!!!!!!
Thanks Batman and Bill!!!!
As for airflow being restricted due to intercooler placement in front of radiator: all f body kits I've seen (lt1's, 3rd gen's etc) have the intercooler mounted exactly the same as you guys.
None of them had any cooling issues
Batman, your car is all dirty!!!!
I've never seen it soooo dirty [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

hmmm i had initially bought the lt1 kit way back when to modify and fit it to my own car like stefan did and from the instructions it shows it mounted pararell to the ground infront of the scrape gaurd unless you go with the twin high flow.

OF course the kits i have seen all had the large 3 core intercooler which won't fit diagonally under the car...especially on a lowered car. It would scrape the ground. Thats why its mounted parallel. Then again, i haven't seen the 2 cores which are smaller than the 3. However i always thought it was just as wide. Maybe if my car wasn't lowered, the ATI intercooler would have fit. The custom intercooler was probably the best way to go anyways since i am probably not the only one that has bought eibach lowering springs.

*drool* nice work b-dawg

[pgriffith]

Looking at the pics and how the intercooler is mounted will this still work with cars using an FTRA or SLP CAI on 98+ models?

show me a pic... i don't believe i have seen a pic of either setup. I know for a fact this is going to work with the Suncoast creations functional RAM AIR kit...cause i have it. If the SLP CAI or FTRA is mounted similar to the SSC RAM AIR kit, then yes it will work.

[mike24]

Thanks for the pics!! looks cool .

Guys take it easy on Ryan, its clear to me he's doing everything in his power to keep the ball rollin on this and keep us happy at the same time. Just remember Sh!t happens sometimes thats beyond our control. And its noones fault.

[Arctc Wolf]

will this work w/ a whisper lid, or do I have to put my stock lid back on?
