ECS install question
Hey guys I've got a couple questions while I'm still in the middle of installing my ECS kit. Most of the kit is in but I'm having a hell of a time getting the radiator and a/c condenser to fit into the lowered bracket. Seems the hard lines on the condenser are the main problem. Me and a buddy held the coolers down while the other got the radiator brackets in to hold them in place. Problem now is that there is still tension on them keeping them from seating in the holes in the rad support and not giving me enough clearance up top to put on the blower inlet. Anyone else run into this problem? Any advice on what to do? Also this leads me to my other question. Does the blower inlet tube clamp directly onto the blower itself, or am I missing a silicone coupler somewhere? Thanks for any help

The inlet goes directly on the supercharger itself, as far as the AC lines go, you do need to gently "message" the line a bit to relieve that tension. Being aluminum it does not take too much effort to do that.
The inlet duct should fit in rather easily, however, I have seen a few cars where the duct is difficult to go on. I have wondered why only a few of them over the years, but we just loosened the right motor mount bolt and lifted the engine half an inch and it slid right on.
If you would like to discuss this in length feel free to call in anytime.
