bogieboy's supercharger build

Yeah....I know what I need, its just that I was rushed for time, because I had to be cleaned up and AT the local Aurelios pizza by 6:30......my dads fam celebrated mothers day tonight.....if I didn't have that to get to, I woulda run (I had a buddy with a car there to help) to the parts store and got what I need and got it done.........I was pressed for time, and I just get real pissed when that happens.....I am not what you would call a "schedule oriented" person......

I agree with Tom. Tomorrow is another day. I had little to no patience, and over the winter when we were working on my car and we would run into problems I would get really fustrated. Well the following day or week it seemed last weeks problem would fall into place.

About the only thing I have ever had to walk away from with total frustration was my differential.....8 months after the rebould, the diff spiders lock onto the shaft......had to cut the shaft into 3 pieces to get it out.....

Yeah I know, you wanted to get the task completed, but you ran out of time. I've learned over the years to schedule big jobs like that over several days to several weeks. Heck I'm still waiting for my Razors Edge adj. end links that were ordered March 13th. They will get here when they get here.

Thing of it is, this is my only vehicle........I have no other vehicle to use really either....unless I comendeer my parents durango......but mom needs that to get to work.......

You're a patient man, Tom. That kind of delay burns my ass.

You know what really burns my ass?







A flame about 3 ft high.

LOLz......

The thing about modding is that no matter how prepared you are something can always go wrong and usually does.. Its how we react to these problems/opportunities that makes the difference. It will all come together and your truck will be even more Badd ass. Plus youll have that sence of accomplishment for overcoming all the difficulties.

Yep yep!!!!! An I know not just ANYONE can say they not only 1. Did a supercharger install without any professional help, but also 2. Did it for under $300 for EVERYTHING!!!!!! I will say, even though I might have seemed down about the fuel line, I am psyched beyond belief from the 10 sec that it ran, and the awesome sound before I noticed the fuel spray under the truck......

hoping to get some fuel line this afternoon (after my math Final....) and get Lil' Bogie all patched up!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck. Hope you don't screw the pooch. You will be needing some timing and a/f readings on yer beast.

Damnit.....this thing is bein a bitch now........cut out where the leak was, ran a new line....started leaking somewhere else... cut that, ran it further, now it leaks AT the pump.......go to remove the fitting to run all new, whole fitting pulls off the factory reg......now I need either a regulator or a fuel pump......FUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK.......

This really sucks......

Sorry you're having such trouble, Kent.

I think I got it figured out....the way I ran the fuel line, it eliminated the return line......I think I need to reroute the return line back into the system.....anyone got insight on this???

There's a bit of repitition in this, but bear with me.....and there's a treat in store for ya!!!!


Ok.... I been thinking about this....... I think I got my fuel problem figured out......the way that it appeared that paxton wanted me to hook everything up basically eliminated the return line to the tank(I probably misread the diagram....)!!!!!!! Damn.....so it was trying to run any extra pressure BASS-ACKWARDS thru the factory regulator!!!!!no wonder I was blowing shit up........sooo.....I need to rehook the return line.......but the factory return line is all rusty just like the fuel line, so I don't think I wanna reuse that......and as long as I am changing the regulator, I already have access to the return fitting on the tank....... so I think I am gonna just run a new line for the return.....make sense?

And here's a treat for bearing with me thru my stupid ass mistakes......



And no......I am not really frustrated.......I am kida happy this is happening......giving me an excuse to run all stainless braided fuel line!!!! I have pretty much got all of it replaced now........next up is the return line.....I may just do that in rubber.....see what the cost difference is...

I have to see that bad boy in action! I live near you in Chicago, Hegewisch neighborhood. I have fam that live in Cal City.I know I'll see you around somewhere!

Hehehe.......I can't wait to get this bad boy on the streets......its gonna be so awesome.....ricers aint gonna know what just shit all over them!!!!!!!hehehehee

ok...i found out that i dont have/ need a return....i just had the damned regulator hooked up wrong....so it was putting the extra pressure back to the line, instead of to the injectors.............

Well, after further research, I found out there isn't a return.......I also found out that I fucked up......I hooked the regulator up backwards...........

Well fix that shit and get that beast on the road. Btw you have a shitload of wires under your hood! lol

LOLz....yes... I am gonna replace the whole fuel pump in the tank, because for the past 10,000mi, my gas gauge hasn't worked, and the only way to fix it is with a new sender.....but you can't get just the sender.....you gotta get the whole assy....

And yes, the wiring was a mess in that pic.....I cleaned some of it up today......

Ok folks MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?


LIL' BOGIE is out of sugery, and is doing GREAT!!!!!!!he has much more pep than he had before!!!!!! Shit, you could compare this to a senior getting new knees!!!!LOL

He has much better pick up off the line, waaaay stronger top end too.......

Congrats dude.

Congrats! Can we get a vid of a fly by at about 100mph?
