Waiting for a certain GTA Blitz install...

[Iggy888]

Thanks again Pete for having us all over.
Here are some photos documenting how the day progressed:

Engine cover and intake removed:



Throttle body removed:



Intake manifold removed:



Alternator removed, dipstick rotated 180 degrees (to make room for supercharger):




Support bracket and pulley for the Blitz Supercharger installed:



Alternator re-attached to new support bracket. The alternator connects to the new bracket upside down which made re-attaching its wiring fun :



The Blitz Supercharger assembled and ready to be bolted on:



MUSKOKA800 (front) and WeeYari (behind) working the Blitz Supercharger into position:



WeeYari making sure all the connections are good and tight:



echo_hrs hard at work getting the wiring harness ready to go:

Well, not quite. At this point it was more like wishing it was time to enjoy.

Interesting thing about this install; we actually had to test drive the car to be sure the s/c was indeed working. Didn't make the characteristic and much covetted whine when the s/c engaged. You could hear the clutch activating but that was it. We figure it must be the stock air box supressing the sound of the s/c. Definitely makes the car a sleeper. No sound to announce what it has.

Props for the teamwork folks, and thanks to Raph for the detailed pics.

damn that thing looks complicated though and involves mega $$

wee—I recall one could hardly miss that distinct whine specifically with echo’s ride.
