I picked up an 03 z06 at auction. Long story short, previous owner is on here and had a D1sc on the car but removed it after totalling it. Engine is a 383 stroker built by epp with TEA stage 2.5 heads and Epp blower cam, longtube headers and stingers. He also had some msd coils and fast fuel rail with larger injectors but these were removed.

The previous owner removed a sound system and had a lot of wiring throughout the dash. I started removing wiring thinking that it was for the previous sound system. Anyways, here is were my problem starts. I noticed that he has a kenne bell boost a pump installed. With a little research I found that it is suppose to have a little controller that goes with it. I did noticed that there was some velcro strips underneath the dash and thats were the controller probably was.

My question is, do I still need this bap if I will not be going with a supercharger. I do not plan on any FI and just plan to run the engine N/A as it as a 383 stroker. Should I find a BAP controller and install it or should I remove the BAP all together as it will not be nessesary for the engine without boost.

I've attached a picture of the BAP. It has a few wires going from it. One is a ground then another goes to the brake booster then another two wires are spliced into a gray wire which looks to be OEM. Does anybody know what this gray wire is?

How would I find out which wires under the dash were used for the BAP controller? Maybe someone has instructions which they can e-mail me so I can maybe try to find which wires are which.

I havn't started the engine yet as Im waiting on a tensioner as well as a belt. Should i also be concerned about the stock fuel rail and injectors on the car with this engine and setup? Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

^ I'm sure the tune is way off and will need to be corrected. Not sure what size injectors motor currently has. If you run it with too big injectors you wipe out your cylinder walls with fuel.

I would contact Jeff over at TPE about the KB Boost a Pump as he's and authorized dealer and would know what to do.

 

^^ yeah thats what Im worried about, or about it not having enough fuel. My plan is just to start the engine and to make sure it runs somewhat. Don't want to do all this repair work to find out the engine doesn't start. Rather just part the project out now.
I know that I will have to have it towed to a local shop and have them go over everything and tune it as it no longer has the supercharger.
