Please post pics of the engine bay of FC's that have been highly modded.

 

lol wheres the pics?

 

^^^^I'm with him

 

you might want to put on a flame suit before you get yelled at to search lol

 

What qualifies as "highly modded" ?

 

Old setup.




New setup (unfinished) and still under construction. Intake pipe was wrapped in header wrap recently since it travels above the radiator hose, and the standalone is still being worked on.





And in case you're wondering, yes parts of the SS fuel lines have been covered in black electrical tape. I didn't want the metal lines rubbing against anything else metal, so I wrapped certain parts to protect them.

 

^ Its that a 13b rew or you changed the UIM to the REW if thats the case where did you get the spacer to get fit the 13b block?

 

No its not an REW motor, mated FD UIM with s5 TII LIM. No spacer, port matched...

 

hmmm I see red x's

 

Hmm, comcast must be having issues right now or something, they'll be back eventually.

EDIT: Should be working now.

 

 

Looks good, now give me your radiator panel

 

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is sex.

 

How long did that take you gregrx7? That's beautiful... I wish my engine bay looked that good. Heh, at least my engine block is painted!

 

here:

 

I'm curious... Is there a reason you ran the intake over to the passenger side of the car. Just becuase you had the existing hole or... I'm trying to think if there is anything on the driver's side that would prevent that... Battery of course, but that's been relocated. Maybe the coil but that can be moved pretty easy. Is that long metal piece custom or stock from something.

 

Look where the stock FD intake elbow ends, middle of e-fan area.

It was either use an extreme bend to take it back to the drivers side, and still try to avoid hitting the e-fan (quite hard), or run it back to the passenger side. I chose the passenger side, obviously

Whenever I get around to getting the greddy FD elbow I might change it to drivers side, there's plenty of room.

 

Or just cut the elbow.

Don't really like that idea, doesn't seem like the best surface to clamp onto, seems like it could slip off easily (happened in the "old setup" pice for the n/a elbow), plus it gets rather large and I'd most likely have to use one of those stupid 3" plumbing couplers that never fit 3" pipe very well.

 

 

Hey Ddub, im curious with your setup. Was there any major power increase, what kind of numbers are you lookin at with that set up?

 

where do you get your intkae piping dubb? ive been looking for awhile to make my CAI

 

just got her my first car,

 

Ah, I'm not too familar with FD's. I'm curious if you saw some more power with this setup.

I think I would personally locate it on the driver's side with your setup though. Keep it away from that radiator hose, clean up the engine compartment a bit, and the air would have a much more direct route. That's just my 2 cents though.

 

I've seen it done on a boosted car with no problems.
