Got further along in the install today. I called it quits after I got the upper intake manifold on. My kids were ready for some attention, so Iāll probably finish up tomorrow. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has experience with this install.
1. During the wiring process, the manual says āInstall the provided 30 amp fuse for the I/C harness into fuse housing. The kit I have came with a 15 amp fuse. Anyone know what should go in there? The online manual says 15 amp.
2. When relocating the horn, the manual says āuse a 1/4ā drill to increase the size of 2 existing unused holes in PCM mounting bracket.ā I donāt know if it is specific for ā21 models, but there is definitely no unused holes on my PCM mounting bracket. How did yaāll mount the horn, or where did you relocate it.
Thanks for everyoneās help.
Looking good for sure, I want to use Daveās tune, however never done any tuning before so a little apprehensive about it, Iām sure Iāll pull the trigger eventually. Reading your post though the line about tools, lol got me thinking of mine and how I became a little anal about them:Got to work on the install today. Between watching kids and looking around for where I sat my tools down, I made it to step 92ā¦of 282. Installation manual is great. They estimate it takes 10 hours to install. For someone like me, Iād probably bump that up to 30.
Thatās a hell of a tool kit. Every time I start a project, I have the best intentions of keeping up with my tools. I always get a little lax about 3/4 of the way through. I am good about finding it all and getting it put up when the job is complete.Looking good for sure, I want to use Daveās tune, however never done any tuning before so a little apprehensive about it, Iām sure Iāll pull the trigger eventually.

Curious as to your "mechanical skills" prior to tackling this install? I've never done anything this technical, but watching videos and talking to folks, the install seems pretty straight forward.Got to the part where I put the pulleys and belt on, and then my kids asked me to make ravioli, and that takes longer than installing a supercharger.
Oh well, I donāt have my ECM back yet, so itās not like Iām going anywhere.
Up to this point, the most mechanical thing I have done to a vehicle is change out an AC compressor or change the brakes.Curious as to your "mechanical skills" prior to tackling this install?

That would be my approach as well. MY JTR isn't my dd, but I seem to drive it the most, lol.Up to this point, the most mechanical thing I have done to a vehicle is change out an AC compressor or change the brakes.
The instructions are very straight forward. Iāve been going slow for a couple of reasons. First, out of an abundance of caution. I want to make sure I do it right. Every part, nut, and bolt that I removed was labeled for future reference. Second, itās finding time to do it between my other responsibilities.

I've always worked on my own vehicles, boats, even my dozer and tractors. This is a slightly complex bolt on kit. Keep us posted on the progress!
If it wasn't so dang far away, I would!You can always drop it off here
