hey guys,

i'm trying to install my intercooler right now. i'm having trouble finding a diy in how to remove the supercharger. I was wondering if anyone had one or had a diagram so i know which bolts to unscrew.

Be doing some mobile service on SoCalCLK’s ‘55 this Saturday.
Let me know if you’d like some help afterwards.

Ring or text if you’re stuck under the hood tonight. :)

thanks splinter...to the rescue like always. I was able to wing it by studying boohooramblers supercharger pics. when are you gonna work it on saturday? i might swing by if i fix my car by then..lol.

Pretty Striaght forward... Remove the intake stuff, Remove Intake Manifolds... Remove Belt from S/C, There are 4 or 5 bolts where the intake runners are on the S/C on each side on the long block, that need to be removed. You need to remove the Emissions EGR Valve things on both sides, then lift the s/c (Its a heavy mother, so be carefull) and that should be it

thanks for everyones quick response. i was able to get it off. i think i know why i've been having the esp issue.

i've been basically driving around with exposed wires...holy crap.





i'm guessing the wire maybe touched the intercooler when it was really hot or something and burned through the insulation.

jturkel

ouch! that couldnt have been good. glad to see you may have figured it out. how long did it take to take of the s/c btw?

FrankW

everybody's been having issues. not a good month for C32s. lol

TemjinX2

too long...probably like 3hrs because i didnt know what i was doing and trying to figure out, what i can pull and what i can't.

i spent another 3hrs cleaning off all the old coolant that caked onto the intake manifolds, part of the supercharger, cleaned the map sensor, the y splitter for hte intake manifolds..etc..etc.

I taped up the engine harness. i thought about replacing the wire, but i didnt feel comfortable splicing into a engine harness.

TemjinX2

does anyone know where the throttle body cable goes? i mean the bottom half not the top half that attaches to the throttle body.

I followed the top of the wire then it goes to the main harness and can't find it unless i cut up the whole harness.

this is the shop manual for the srt-6. the engine tranny driveline rear are identical to yours. body is diff obviously but you can reference all mechanical issues here

this file is huge! over a 1000 pages. but lots of info

TemjinX2

here's a pic what i was cleaning last night.

It looks like your Intercooler is leaking. Coolant is entering the engine, which is not a good thing, also performancewise. I would test the intercooler with pressured air under water and watch if air bubbles come out of the IC-Core...

TemjinX2

yeah i already know the intercooler is leaking. The reason i started this project was to install my code3 intercooler and replace my throttle body cable.

Unfortunately, my original throttle body cable does from the throttle body into the engine harness. There's no apparent plug like on the new one, so i'm shelfing the throttle body project. hopefully my esp issue was the exposed wire.

rockjock

quick polish while you have that out? Let us know how the Code3 matchs up-gl on the install!

c32used

Thank God you caught it before it caught you.

boohooramblers

I assume that you are going to pressure test the C3P intercooler prior to installation?

TemjinX2

i would...if i didn't spend $360k on a house..about a month ago...

I bought loung14's code3 intercooler. The fitment is slightly off from oem but everything seems to bolt up.

TemjinX2

i bought lounge14's code3 intercooler. Since he has a good reputation on this forum, i decided to take his word for it, since i don't have a pressure tester.

TemjinX2

anyways, thanks for everyone's concerns. Good to see there still lot of active people looking out for other c32/c55 owners.

I basically got all the big stuff bolted up. The hard part is putting all the little stuff back, like the little egv little plasitc tubes and items like that. It was easy to pull out, remembering where it goes, is the challenge.

TemjinX2

i know...i was in disbelief when i saw it. i was surprised i didnt keep blowing fuses. Hopefully...this will solve my esp issue.

boohooramblers

Absolutely - didn't know if you had purchased it direct.

Looks like you got your weekend time right there. I'm tooo lazy to diy for something like that, talk about lazy *** who loves modding haha.

TemjinX2

thanks for looking out..
