Paxton install

[125oh]

I've read all the Paxton install threads to get ready for install . I started getting my garage ready today. Sockets ,screwdrivers , ratchet wrenches ect . Besides a dremel tool which I already have . Any other (special tools)I might need ? My car is a 2014

I had to get a micrometer for the little aluminum spacers you will use when putting together the supercharger bracket, the difference in sizes is thousands of and inch and hard to see with the eye.

Great I have a digital caliper that should work for that . Thank you

Just did mine over the weekend damn way more complicated and time consuming then I thought!! But was still fun..

 

[125oh]

11 red gt any tips since you just finished ? What's your setup and who is tuning it ?

 

[Blazer707@TBR]

Just basic hand tools, will need the dremel with a cut off wheel for the bumper and some plastic pieces. Good idea to order some breathers at the same time so you do not need to hack up the stock pcv lines.

Any questions feel free to shoot me a PM.

Lund is tuning hope to have it by the end of the day read all the instructions I didn't and had to take a few steps back!!!

I read through the direction last night . Have them ready on the I pad . But I just placed the order . Decided to just stick with 93 for now

 

[11redGT/CS]

Yes 91 I was told I didn't need a bap so I'm not running one just id1000

 

[125oh]

How much power did you make ?

 

[11redGT/CS]

Still waiting on tune! Plus won't be on a dyno any time soon could care less about numbers really..

 

[125oh]

Me either really I'm going for mid tens

Good idea with the Ipad. This is what I did, I put it sitting up on my intake and just went to work with the instructions. I had two other guys helping me also. Laid everything out on two tables behind me. I would get breathers also so yes you don't have to hack your lines. I had a pre fabed fan so that helped. Otherwise just take your time and it'll go on fine. Read the full instruction step before doing anything. Having general knowledge of how it sits in there is key. I had never seen a Paxton set up in person, all the guys I know run VMP/TVS set ups. Good luck! I didn't have an specialty tools.

Are you referring to something like the jpc breather kit

 

[125oh]

Which coolant do I need to have ready for this install ?

Are you referring to something like the jpc breather kit

Same breathers can be found at local parts stores for half the price.

And you need orange coolant.

How did the install go? I am doing mine in about a month after I get all my pieces together. Is all Orange coolant the same? I Have some my buddy left at my house that he used in his Ecoboost 2013 F150 that should work?
