Got the belts installed fit good. I ordered torque wrench to tighten up the supercharger the one I barrow was for 1/4" and I needed one for 3/8" allen socket.

I like the belt set-up.

Hello Maggy.
You are growing so fast.

Looks like your pup is helping with the woodwork.

Hey DW who are you going to use for tuning of that Super?? anyone you recommend?

DWilbur · 04-02-2020, 10:57 PM

I have it also but it’s a lot of stuff to go throw for SC. Keep us posted as I am curious how difficult it is to tune.

DWilbur · 05-15-2020, 12:30 PM

Got the throttle body and manifold Installed. been working on the engine wire harness. with the supercharger it requires different sensor and connector to make them work. had to order MAP and MAF from LSA engine and different injector connectors as well. Not sure what the machined surface is on the side of the manifold is for. the MAP sensor mount on the right side of the SC body and the MAF is a blade type that get installed in the intake tube. anybody know what its for. the bottom hole had a barbed fitting that I removed because it was hitting the pulley.

**First c10** · 05-15-2020, 01:13 PM

Hey DW. I noticed that is a 3Bar MAP. How much boost will you be running? ok....I am going to let the cat out of the bag.
I got a 2bar (from a Cobalt SS)because I am going to run less than 14PSI boost so the resolution is better in the tune with a 2 bar for me.
I am also going to convert to a blade style MAF since my motor is a Gen IV it is pretty easy from what I read. Still have to tune the MAF but no matter what our swaps are with any mods this needs or should be done.

As for the barb fitting, it was probably for the crank case vent in a stock config. Not sure but there are many different types of crank case vent routing applications based on the different motors, years, intakes, etc. On both my Gen IV motors the vacuum port is on the manifold right behind the TB. From what I seen the vacuum ports on an earlier Gen III are right on the throttle body. I am sure someone here can verify this. Does the instructions from MAG or the TB company say anything regarding this SC or TB on the different GEN motors? I know you are building a custom setup So NO real instructions.....

DWilbur · 05-15-2020, 02:13 PM

When I bought the MAP it said was for LSA engine 2007 to 2016 I did not know it was 3 bar. 2 bar would be better. Do you have part number for 2 bar. No instructions going by the seat of my pants. I did down load the instructions for installing it in a Corvette but not much help because they use a lot of parts off the car. I did buy a blade still MAF for the same engine.

**First c10** · 05-15-2020, 04:57 PM

My MAP fits the truck intake. If you have the bolt on one it will be different then mine.
I guess as long as you have all the lines ran like crankcase vents, vacuum lines etc you should be good.
I am going to run a centrifugal SC For a 2012 Camaro ss. So really I am on my own with plumbing myself.

DWilbur · 05-15-2020, 05:06 PM

I meant MAP

DWilbur · 05-15-2020, 09:42 PM

I replaced my injector wire connectors the crimp tool I bought for Weather Pac connectors worked great. Had to change from the stock 2004 truck injectors to LSA type injector connectors.

DWilbur · 05-17-2020, 03:31 PM

Finally got an intake tube that works 4" with 45degree bend. Now I can set up the MAF sensor in the tube. using a blade type sensor.

rowdy11 · 05-21-2020, 12:23 AM

Looking good! Do you know your fitting sizes on the hydroboost? I have the same setup and need to figure out which fittings to buy for the feed and return lines.

57taskforce · 05-21-2020, 08:41 AM

Nice build! Your gonna love that Maggie!
The hydroboost fittings will depend which box, pump, and hydroboost you’ve got. The Mid-late 70’s setups are standard inverted flare and everything else is metric o ring. I’ve got a standard box and pump with a metric hydro. If I remember right I believe the inverted flare fittings are for 3/8 tube. The metric I honestly don’t remember. I reused all my old fittings from the hydro and the original power steering setup. The metric fittings will fit on the 3/8 tubing just fine.

Hey DW just checking in on any updates!!!

DWilbur · 10-05-2020, 11:35 PM

Been a while from my last post busy working and playing. Bought a new mill lath machine to make some part for my truck. push rod for the hydraulic clutch. also bought a new 2o ton press and attachment to bend metal.

**Getter-Done** · 10-05-2020, 11:46 PM

Nice purchase of 2 good Tools

You will not regret it.
The SWAG is on my Must purchase list.

Any questions on the lathe
Just shoot me a PM.

The only issue with the Swag adapter is the bend radius is large. they make an attachment that will make a tighter bend radius that I'm going to look into.

Good to know.
That push rod looks Great

A mill is on my list!!! How's the truck???

DWilbur · 10-28-2020, 01:58 PM

Going slow on the truck these days. Scratched the left bed side really pissed me off. just not enough room to move around the truck in the garage. I need a bigger shop but no room to expand.

Slow is okay

Well its been along time sense I have posted on my blog. Trying to work on the truck in a small 2 car garage just ain't working and I have out grown it so I am moving to new house in Calaveras county still in California. the good news is the new house is twice the size as my other house and the garage X2 is 3 times the size and it has a car lift in one stall. I will be moving in about 30 days. Can't wait to get working on the truck again.
