Like pengarufoo said, coolant overflow.

The main wiring harness is wrapped with the Haltech supplied loom cover. You can use all sorts of things for this - people usually use the crinkly-looking, colored stuff from auto parts stores.

I never ran the DP without the wrap, so I do not know how well it is actually working. I am sure the hotside of the turbo is going to be the number one culprit of heat dissipation into the engine bay. I do know that I will be making a heat shield for the turbo soon, as well as a heat barrier to protect the ProfecB unit from the heat. I can barely touch the passenger side shock tower after I have driven the car for a while because it is so hot.

 

be sure to post up some dyno sheets and some times.

 

As soon as she is tuned, I will get her on the dyno and post the printout. Then I will be at the track.

 

Where did you get your FMIC and how much you pay for it if you dont mind me asking?

 

i fee bad for the front of your frame and your neighbor's ears

 

Welcome to the 350HP club.
With that set-up its going to be no problem.

My only real recommendation, is to conver your Haltech loom with some sort of insulation wrap, be it from Thermo-Tec or DEI. Protect your investment.

 

Very nice setup man.. congrats

"I also use Borla... damn they sound so nice..."

 

Real nice man! Can't wait to see some dyno numbers and track times!!

 

The next thing on my list is to make a heat shield for the turbo, then a heat wall to protect all the electronics and wires on the passenger side of the engine bay. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

The guy I bought the car from had cut up the front end because it had been wrecked, so he was removing the mangled metal. I did not do the hacking to the frontend, and I keep wondering what I can do to strengthen the frontend back up to spec. Looks like I have to have some welding done.

 

how much did the FMIC cost you all together?

 

New it would have cost ~700, but I got some good deals along the way, and only paid about 450. The bottom couple of rows had to be cut off the IC and the bottom of the end tanks welded closed, because it was just too tall as it was.

 

that is so sick. good work. the im looks very nice in black.

 

Yeah that IC setup is pretty sweet, you beat me to the punch in getting it from Ben. DAMN YOU!!! HEHE, just kidding. Seriously though looks good and keep it up. You and the rest of the KC guys need to come down to Springfield more often

 

Sorry about that, but it looks so nice in my engine bay! Did he get you set up with the parts to make your own?

 

u could put the pics onto 1 post instead of being a post *****

 

Damn that makes me sick. Ahh wouldnt that be nice in the vert!

 

I thought the same thing. She sits right next to a '91 vert every night, and I had a lot of trouble stopping myself from doing swap into the 'vert.

 

What did you wrap your DP with??

 

.....? Eh, guess what. You can only attach one image to a post, so that means each one in a seperate post.

 

That air filter needs to come off the turbo and be put somewhere completely seperated from the hot engine bay. Sitting right on the hot turbo sucking hot air straight off the radiator is about the worst place you could put it. That's a bunch of free horsepower (plus detonation prevention) you're throwing down the toilet...

 

wat was ure estimated total not encluding car?!

 

oooohh, pretty colors...


alot of that stuff looks familiar IC??

nice work man, I should have a similar setup done in a few months (Microtech), and there is another guy down here doing similar with a Haltec on a S5 TII (T2Terror, i think) We will have to run up there again for some more meets. Im sure we will have more motivation with our cars done.

 

So what intercooler is that? NPR? What levels you boost at with that? How does the car cool?

 

good christ man... brining it back from the dead
