It's a cake walk @grostoine. Just take your time and let it come together. The hardest part for me was getting the oil reservoir mounted. You'll need to release the brake line from the plastic clips from enough locations to raise the line without damaging it.

I was missing the belt cover as well and hear its shipping out tomorrow. I'm curious if you had any issues getting at the bolt under the brake line.

Did you purchase a KW tune? If so what do you think and when is your dyno going to be up

.

I should have the results of the @Drift-Office tune on this kit no later than Saturday

Whew! Order finally paid for and should ship today. Really, really looking forward to your results @digital_assassin ... I'm going to push the install until after the new year. Going to fly my tuner in because I'm running a FlexFuel kit

I follow your advice and it all go pretty well for the bolt under the brake line! The Hardess part was to get the pulley on the adapter. I had to uninstall it from the engine because it was too tight. For the alignement I used 2 longer bolt. But all in all is pretty easy install...I done everything alone.

My car is stored until April so I guess I won't know how it goes until then. I did not purchase the KW tune because I lost my job and I made everything that I could so I spend less money... I had engagement for the kit and really want it but the tune can certainly wait for the moment... Plus I had to change my headers

I can't wait on your result's !

I purchased one as well. The compressor outlet looks to be in the correct location so maybe that was just an issue with some? May start the install Sunday. Good advice in this thread!

digital_assassin · 12-13-2013, 11:26 AM

Added you to the owners list @dren. Can't wait to see your results!

grostoine · 12-13-2013, 07:11 PM

Digital assassin, what are the results? Did the kit made less, equal or more power than the jr kit in the oder thread?

digital_assassin · 12-13-2013, 07:56 PM

We shall see tomorrow. No posting happening until I pick it up.

digital_assassin · 12-15-2013, 02:29 AM

And the results are in!

digital_assassin · 12-15-2013, 02:33 AM

It's been bugging me that both kits instructions don't address this. According to Rotrex the Oil Reservoir should be lower than the Rotrex. The KW kit location can be worked to achieve the proper positioning with a little work. Had to bend the bracket a bit and then bend the tab holding the molex plug out of the way. I don't know if this is an issue or not but I changed mine up just to be safe.

Look by the battery and you can see how high it was.

So I lowered it waaaayyy down.

I'm interested to see if it is in this position that maybe it will actually flow oil. I can't start the car tonight since the kids and neighbors are asleep
