who has installed their own 2nd gen Supercharger

just curious who has done their own install? And what advice you would offer to someone who plans to do it themselves?

The install manual calls out 2 SST for holding the crank pulley that needs to be torqued to 200 ft lbs

 

I read a couple post from members here that did their own SC install. C'mon TW mechanics.

 

Nice! Thank you Christian for posting. Was torqueing the SC crank pulley to 204ft lbs difficult? IYO what was the most difficult part.

 

Badass bro. Thanks again for sharing. My local dealers says $118 for the ECM reflash so saving up now.

 

Good point. I have a hill on the way to the dealer. That would've been bad

 

Hey Christian, by chance can you dig up a link for the crankshaft pulley holder tool on oemtools? I couldnt find anything useful....

 

Or, be like me and let the professional do it because they have all the tools/knowledge that the common man doesn't have. You already shelled out big bucks for the SC, pay a little more and insure it's done right. You wouldn't put CZ on your second wife's hand, would you?

 

thanks again Christian. I just found a SC install thread from SManZ that called out the same tool. Nice to have reassurance its gonna work.

Thomas-Its not the dough for labor. Having it done right is one of the big reasons I plan to do it myself. I had a few Toyotas get half ass'd at the dealer. Plus I like to know the ins and outs of my vehicle as I plan to have it for a long time. To me, paying to have it installed will just allow me to stare blankly at it.
