See you have a '98 too. Have you done anything to the motor yet and how many miles do you have? Mine is still pretty much stock and I probably have a few more miles on mine than you do on yours. Been debating this for a while now. Have fun with the install. Looks like fun.

Awesome! You sound like me, everytime I work on my car, either I break something or mess up my hands really good! GL!

Today I completed the crank pinning.....and it was a pain just like the last time I removed the steering rack, although I'll admit it wasn't as bad since I knew what to get and where it was.

First had to remove stuff and make way to the crank and pull the crankshaft bolt.



Then I used the simple jig provided in the kit and drilled the 1/4" hole and installed the pin.



Now it's all back together waiting for tomorrow to begin the next phase of supercharger upgrade.



Done for today....will start again in the morning.

Sad to say, but a guy just barely survived getting away alive when a car loaded with 4 criminals pulled up for a home invasion a few miles away. All 4 were armed and shot up his house when he refused to unlock his door. They are still at large and local LEO's are on the hunt. Fortunately I'm a very active shooter and armed to the teeth so it would be a crooks or crook's BAD DAY to pull in my drive. It would also be a good time to put some tannerite in their car and play shoot the orange jar. LOL!!!!

Thanks for the thread Rick. Your an inspiration to me as well. I've had the YSI kit sitting here for months, just haven't budgeted the time to install it. I'll keep on eye on your progress and then install mine after seeing how you do on yours.
