Changes were minor...redline bumped 100 rpm, torque management was raised and a couple of diagnostic reporting tables were changed...

 

You asked this a few days back and I had not gotten back to you. That plug is a 1/8" NPT thread and only exists on the driver's side. I believe it's intended use is for a boost gauge sensor. It would also be a logical spot for guys who wanted to use meth after the rotors but you'd need another fitting on the passenger side or you'd only be injecting for one bank of cylinders.

 

I think that's in one of the runners actually, or right at the inlet of one... You'd be feeding only one cylinder if you did that.
I don't think post blower meth injection is feasible when the IC sits right on top of the runners like that...

 

It's actually along the flange just below the seam, down about 1" and about midway along the case. I believe that puts it immediately below the intercooler...logical spot for a boost sensor. You might be right about it being at the mouth of one runner. Guess you'd need eight of these to feed this setup with methanol!

For those that are curious Edelbrock uses 52lb Bosch injectors with part #Bosch 0 280 158 187 (0280158187).

More details on the injectors are here... http://www.lsxtune.com/shop/product_...oducts_id/1694

 

The 1591 manual does not indicate specifically how to deal with the NPP (dual mode) air intake pipe in the front/driver side. Anybody has had issues with this?

 

- 3.25" = ~9.5psi

- 3.00" = ~11psi

- 2.75" = ~13psi

Are these pulley's available for the E-force?

 

My car is NPP equipped. Provisions are there for that vacuum line. I can't remember off the top of my head where it plugged in but my NPP works fine.

Step #155 in the instructions I believe takes care of it. Connection at the other end is shown in photo below step #169. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_.../1000/1590.pdf

 

I doubt you can get them from Edelbrock but call Stillen and they'll hook you up....supposedly exact same pulleys that are used on the Maggie TVS2300. Or better yet just Google "Magnacharger TVS 2300 pulley" and you'll get dozens of hits.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. We can get ALL 5 sizes of the E-Force pulleys. They are even a better price than the Magnuson units. HOwever that being said, they are NOT the same design at all. Magnuson uses pressed on pulleys for their jack shaft and Edelbrock uses bolt on pulleys for easy/quick changes.

 

Double check your source data....everything I see tells me the 1900/2300 uses the same bolt-on pulley. Example... http://www.dragtimes.com/parts/3-00-...079141520.html

Check the photo next to step 153 of the Magnacharger install manual for the C6 Corvette....sure looks like bolts to me! http://www.magnacharger.com/pdf/manu...ntercooled.pdf

Hub is pressed on but the pulley bolts on. Alibi...I have not personally verified that they are the same though...read it on another forum that the pullies are the same.

Doesn't matter though...Stillen has the different pulley sizes that fit the E-Force

 

Thank you! I kept looking way past that in the procedure. So this is were we are at..apologies for the shaky picture but could not hold steady..:-)

 

Well I guess I have to tell our "salesperson" at Magnuson that they finally changed their hub design and someone should finally tell her that!

As for Edelbrock, they do make their own pulleys and range from $35 to $45 depending on the size you order. Not bad pricing for OE quality.

I'm going to add an Aeroforce Interceptor Gauge to the mix so I can see what is going on with IAT's and other things without having to carry a laptop with HP Tuners in the passenger seat. Thanks to forum member "PDanley" for the tip on this awesome Aeroforce gauge. For those interested in adding parameter monitoring capability via the OBDII port check this gauge out!...a ton of features!

Also thanks to forum member "Gotcha" for having the ***** to drill the dash....details to follow this weekend but I'll end up with a ton of on-demand monitoring capability via the OBDII port plus the ability to monitor fuel pressure and boost all rolled up into a single 2" hole in the dash without having to add a gauge pod to the pillar! Line-of-sight to this spot from the driver's seat is perfect!

 

Your photo turned into a red X on my PC but I briefly saw it on my Blackberry. Looked like you were coming up on the tale end of the install. WooHoo! Did you guys do the fuel pump yet?

 

 

I like that.

I could see a nexus unit in there.

FYI the units can change color if the needle gets to a certian point.
Acts as a warning.

or use a PLX thin one

 

These are nice gauges. I had looked at both of these as well. The PLX website didn't mention a fuel pressure sensor. I contacted them and they said it wasn't available but they may provide one later.

Also, the Aeroforce gauge has lights that turn on for a warning. You can program the warning based on OBDII parameters or data from the external sensors.

 

I would agree that for a single function I prefer the "analog" look over this digital gauge. It would match the instrument cluster better. But, when you look at how configurable this Aeroforce gauge is there just doesn't see to be a better choice. Basically if the OBDII port is reporting it, you can display it. I believe the count is 54 different possible parameters that can be displayed. You can also read DTC's and reset from this gauge. There are two LED's on the gauge face that can be configured to warn you if a high or low value that you select is reached. It also has a 60 second data record feature which will be useful.
