Will the torque cause contact between the piping and the sleeve under throttle/ engine braking?

I don't think that will be a concern. The sleeve is 3.5", I/C pipe is 3", plus there will be a silicone coupler after it comes out of the sleeve and then another one when it enters the throttle body. Most torque should be absorbed by those. Anything else it will have enough room to move around some.

I guess its time for an update....

Got the right size belt on it finally.
I have to pull the headunit off one last time to put blue locktite on everything.
Intercooler arrives tomorrow, so then i can finish up running all those pipes.
I have to mount the front and rear fans too in addition to finding radiator hoses in a custom length.
I still need to modify the impact bumper in the middle and throw the front bumper cover back on.
..oh, I gotta run oil lines too and buy a set of injectors

Intercooler arrived, brackets for it are fabbed and its mocked up in place.
Impact bumper is now modified as well.

Now I'm ordering a few silicone couplers and that should complete the I/C piping.

12" electric fan is too big to fit up front, I'll be switching to an 8" one that pushes more cfm than the 12" anyway.

boost control can be done isolated from the cars computer, and fueling,timing and the others can be done with his current software (at least i think i remember paul buying HPtuners) the ls1 computer is amazing at what you can force it to do.. lol

The same way any car works with a supercharger added, it gets tuned.

Intercooler mocked up, some changes have been made since and the cut out section of the impact bumper will be replaced by some aluminum stock once everything is in place.

The 12" electric fan was sent back to Summit, it was said to flow 950cfm, a new fan an 8" one, has been ordered, which is said to flow 2,100cfm. So works out for the better.

Even if it isn't the correct cfm listed, its still just the auxiliary and will be fine.
Worst case scenario, I have to add a second 8" next to it.

edit, just checked perma-cools website, it lists the fan at 2400 cfm

It states that it requires a 30amp relay for start up.

My next hurdle to overcome is figuring out the oil return line.

I've seen how others have done it for turbo LSx setups so I have a good idea. However drilling and tapping the pan is involved and its very tight down there. If I get a scavenger pump, I could return to the oil fill or tap a valve cover.

LOL, it will be mounted higher. As you can see the brackets that i had made are just clamped in place. With some more trimming of the bumperettes, it'll be raised up.

Scavenger pump sounds scary. Any electrical issues and you lose oiling.

Exactly. lol. There's no reason I can't do just the normal gravity drain, its not like the headunit is too low or anything. I basically know I'll end up welding/tapping a fitting to the oil pan. Just NOT looking forward to it.


Also, I could possibly have a bung welded into the front timing cover. That would be easier to get off than the pan.

What about the fitting that goes in between the pan and drain plug?
