Default 06 XB S/C Install

I recently acquired a Greddy S/C kit with the emanage unit. Just got it all installed and working properly and wanted to share some pics.

There is one of the ALT bracket. Thought this might be good for reference.

You will have to reroute that wiring harness away for that actuator. Make sure the lever that moves down doesn't press on the wiring harness. I have since rerouted the spliced vacuum line for the gauge. I can get a pic if anyone needs it.

I still have to clean up (solder) these wires now that I finally got it wired right.

I wanted to show a little detail on the upper pulleys and bracket.
Hope this helps someone. I can take better pics if needed.

Nice! Did you buy the kit new? how do you like the new power?
Are you adding a ATF cooler too?

I bought the kit used. The power is awesome. I can't ever go without it now. I'm spoiled.

I don't have any plans to get an ATF cooler.

I do want to replace my solid stainless grill with another grill that will let some air through. I don't have a gauge to verify but it seems to get hot under there.

The guy I bought it from is on this forum but I don't know his screen name. He pointed out that you should take out the headlight during the s/c install. I couldn't get the headlight out during the install but I had to tighten a few bolts today close to the pulleys and it made the job so much easier. You need to take out the two bumper bolts under the grill and the bolt in the fender well. I'll try to get some pics.

From what I've been told a cooler is highly recommended on the Auto's.
Although, I probably should have put a clutch in mine when I installed my kit, but it's holding up just fine! A clutch is a lot cheaper than a rebuilt tranny though
My install was a breeze only had trouble with the belt because my car doesn't have A/C. I definitely don't think I could go back to stock power...

It was about 4-5 hours for me installing it on my echo. That includes a break to go out and get the proper sized belt. It plugs right in to the factory wiring (Same as the 04/05 xb's) no wiring/splicing is required.
