:laughing1: The Vortech SQ-trim head unit for my Modular Powerhouse Mongoose kit has arrived. Now I just have to wait till Friday for the box o' goodies from MPH and let the fun begin. Should be interesting, never done an install before. Hoping some of the local guys will help me out but we'll see I guess. Is it Friday yet?

My biggest thing is a lack of tools, I have a simple set, and a place to do it.

The only real specialty tool you need is a 3/8 NPT tap, the rest is simple hand tools even a pilot would own

Oh no, I have sworn to stay far away from Sears. I'm affraid that my credit card would greatly dislike me.

Well so much for that idea. I don't think free beer and food would be worth a 300 mile drive.

Ted has offered his assistance as well as his garage and tools. Most likely will be heading over to his place Friday evening to get started and do as much as possible, then finish her up Saturday. Hopefully I can get into IA or Addictive for a pull and check on my A/F....HOPEFULLY. Tim Barth said not to go into boost until I get the A/F verified to make sure the tune is spot on.

edit:Gun Show huh, that's the other place I have sworn to stay away from.

Dude they are closed this Saturday to go up to Phx for some show...ARRRRGGGH:thumbsdown: Just found that out. So now I'm f'd. I really do not want to go to Addictive. I may just have to drive up to Phx, but I'm not sure I can get in at a shop on this short of notice. This sucks cause I may have to drive around for a damn week trying to stay out of boost. Oh man I'm upset.

Get that bolted on and burn some tire.

That's what I'm hoping for. Just sent off an email to performance solutions so hopefully I'll be up and running 100% by Saturday. Hopefully be driving up since the local guys are closed to get my A/F checked before I rip into the land of boost.

I took those same pics about 2 months ago. The install is pretty easy. Don't be discouraged by the Tap its the easiest part, all the clamps and messing around in the fender was probably the most PITA.

Haven't dyno'd it yet with the new set-up. I almost don't want to, so when people ask I can really say, "I have no idea." This Mongoose kit has been putting out between 350-390whp on many cars with similar mods. I'd be pleased with 350whp.

From the look of it I have just about the same set up as you. Mine is making 375 and 367tq. Are you running it on the stock tune right now, or the vortech mail in tune?
ReaperAZ
11-03-06, 08:17 AM
Neither, I'm running it on a Modular Powerhouse tune(Tim Barth)that he made for me on my XCal2.
