DJ,

I have watched this from afar for quite some time.
Congratulations.
That is amazing. I want picks of those headers and exhaust path. I'm sure I speak for many.
Be careful with those headlights. The light bulb change looks like a PITA.

Any more on this kit im really thinking about putting 5-7 lbs of boost on the crossfire and am wondering if i have to go 100% custom or if i can cheat with this kit.

- thanks

Several ppl would want to add a turbo, or twin t3, but from what I gather the problem is if you try to add boost the ecu will not read it.

don't know what they did to finally make it work, and I don't know how much boost he is getting, wish I did, and how it is working.

might have to put resistors in the pressure sensors to trick the computer then tin to make it run rich, which will even out.
depending on which resistor to be used will adjust sensors voltage and they will read less than what actually is.

so ecu would just think it is tuned to run rich.

every atmosphere of pressure doubles power, so at 14.7 psi you will double you engine hp, but also have to account for the power used by supercharger / turbo.

Kit isn't going to happen. I've got the one and only.
I see 4, 5 pounds of boost. Feel it too!
Cold blooded in cold weather on starts. Have to warm it up a bit before driving off.
Exhaust is a bit loud (for me). Headliner is out.
I don't drive it. Finding my Crossfires too hard to get in and out of. :-(



Ok. Who wants to buy it! :-)

Have you tried one of those assists that latches into the body door latch ?

Ignore the exposed RCM. Was testing it after its repair.

Main question I have is why no air filter, and why did Begi do a hot air intake ?

The cover IS the air cleaner.

A cold air intake would have taken an extra year and a half. That's why!
