Having a major problem with the alternator hitting the AC lines that run up the back
side of the radiator. There just isn't enough room and the AC lines don't have any
give. I'm afraid I might break a weld or kink a tube if a push too hard. Also the fact
that my directions refer to nuts and bolts by numbers yet the parts list has left the
numbers off is making things nearly impossible. I having to guess which bolts go
where. The directions say things like "remove bolt as shown in picture" and the
picture is of such a poor quality that you can't tell what your looking at, or there
are 10 bolts in the picture and no reference arrow. I haven't started the electrical
yet, am I going to have the same problem? Where are you Blitz powered xB's
locating your switch? I'm thinking on the center cover under the dash.

Any suggestions?

 

Baine, Titan Motorsports is doing my install and they ran into the same problem. You will need to have a new ac line made! no way around it. I should get my XB back today or tuesday. Will post pictures then.

 

Finally, Ducky!

Any way to call Blitz reps or something?

 

Do you both have automatics? I think I remember reading something about the automatics having a differently routed ac line due to the transmission.

Mine is a 5-speed. The Blitz instructions show a BB without air so there are no conflicts.
They directions go on to say that on the US cars you may need to bend the AC tube
out of the way. That is total BS it doesn't move at all. The SC is installed but is touching
the AC tubing for now. I still need to hook up the piping and the electronics. You need to
have Alien like fingers to get to some of the intake header bolts. This install is very cramped.

 

anyone get it done yet , how is the horsepower now ? got any pics .

 

Putting some sort of thick vibration/heat insulation betweeen the AC piping and the SC body won't help?

 

I'll take pics tonight. not sure if it will be running though. maybe tomorrow

 

I got mine back tonight, but didn't have time to take pictures before dark. I will post some soon. Titan suggested that I use only 93 oct. fuel from now on. Something about detonation or something, so I have the sc turned off untill I can burn off this cheap 87 oct. tank full. (all night cruise). I can see where they had new ac line made, looks like it made things cleaner. Let me know if you need a clear picture of some area.

My instructions were in jap., can you explain about the low-med-high settings and how they work?

Can't wait for a long drive this weekend.

 

Looks great!

 

Damn that's a sweet setup. I wonder what the WHP is with that setup. Get'r dyno'd

Barry, I want a ride! :D

 

Both of the SC set ups look great. Congrats...

 

Baine, that looks hot! Very nice detail work.

Mike, had a chance to drive around a little tonight. The low-med-high settings correspondes to pedal effort:

low - the sc will kick in at low pedal effort (lots)
med - the sc will kick in with moderate effort (take offs and acceling)
high - the sc will kick in only when you stomp it.

And yes you do need to take it for a drive.

 

Ah...that's good to know about the low/med/high settings... Also, I'll be sure to make it to the next Courtesy Scion meet

 

^^^Looking good Baine!!!!!!!



Is that powder coat, or paint?

I'm jealous!

 

It's powder. I got a friend that did it for free. He also did my S-techs springs and my
GT-spec frame brace. I had already painted my front and rear sway bars before he
told me he could powdercoat. The color not exactly the same, but it's close enough
for free.

 

I'm not picky, I think it looks great! And as long as you do, that's all that matters!
