I just recently bought a P-1SC Head unit off of Marauderjack . I plan on building my own kit basically along the lines of the FIT kit. Just looking for advice and information any FIT owners can share on what they have changed or upgraded over the years.
Basically what I want is to do the initial install on my stock motor and shoot for 450-500rwhp (stock rotating assembly safe power range). Later on I want to shoot for the 600rwhp range once I get a built motor. I'm sure there will be some items that I'll have to change out later on when I up the boost but would prefer to buy most things once if possible.
I'm trying to do a this as a budget build and spend only $2.5-3k in parts for the first setup. I'll of course do the install myself, and have it towed to my local tuner for the Dyno session.
Quick rundown of what is needed:
- PC-3FCBB-003Procharger Mach1/Cobra Bracket 2001-2004 http://www.superchargersonline.com/p...r=PC-3FCBB-003
- single GT40 Pump w/20A BAP (will this be good for higher HP #s?)
- Fuel Filter upgrade
- Injectors (guessing 48lb for 450-500rwhp, 60s when I go higher)
- Blow thru MAF- Looking at the Abaco DBX85 but want to also know what others have used or recommend
- Universal Air-Air IC- What do y'all think of this one? http://www.superchargersonline.com/product_detail.asp?PartNumber= ICE-IC30-F
- Pipes (custom setup but what size is recommended. Thinking 2.5 or 3" )
- Blow Off Valve (Vortech Mondo is what I was looking at) any other recommendations?
- Longer Belt (what do you guys use, I like Gates just need P/N)
- Different Belt Tensioner or cut the ear of stock unit? (I remember some issues with the Ear hitting the SC Mounting bracket or something. Maybe only an issue on 04 Mach 1s)
I'm sure I have overlooked a couple of items but am building my material list and pricing out various items before I really start flinging the credit card around. I plan on taking my time and shopping around to see what can be had through Ebay and various forums used or on the cheap. Nothing wrong with a used MAF, injectors, or BOV if they are in decent shape.
Any pics y'all can provide of the pipes and their routing would be a tremendous help.
Please also let me know what people have changed or improved on from the stock FIT or other Centri kits.
Thanks ahead for any and all help you guys give.
