Evil I hope to have some good luck well see.

as evil knows there are tons of little things that you need to figure out once the engine is in the car, you are at the point where is was last february, if you want any help either post in the 20b section or pm

Just be mindful that going into to this project is not going to easy, and you may not generate the kinda numbers you think your going to get. Just dont get your hopes so high, and you wont be dissappointed. Hang out it in the 20B section.

usfdr 01-03-03 07:24 PM

Here are some pictures of the powder coated manifolds. I just got them back today.

Good stuff man! Good luck with the rest of the project!

Well, I just put the engine inside the car, and all I can say is wow! This thing is figgin huge. I took the radiator out and the sway bar off and the front of the pully is about an inch from the condensor. I'll have some pics this weekend. Man this was supposed to be an easy project. Yeah right! Anyway, Yes the sway bar is an issue and for now its staying off the car I do have an idea though, I'll share it later. Also the water pump housing for the 20B sits really high for pretty much no reason they could have made the design alot better but oh well. the twin turbo piping will also hit as well as the stock intake going to the throttle body.

As I see it I have 2 options.
1 Use the 13B water pump housing. It bolts right on. Cut the twin turbo piping as well as the piping to the TB. Also the hood needs a little bit of cutting where the manifold sits in order for it to clear, not a big deal.

2 Leave everthing where it is and cut the N/A aluminium hood and blend in a cowl induction piece.

What do you guys think, I need some opinions and even some other suggestions.

Thanks,
UsfDr

man, i was looking at all the pictures of the turbo pipes and cringing. you have to cut and reweld them or make custom stuff. you also need to have a turbo 2 hood, the intake manifold tucks into the scoop. i'm using the 20b water pump housing in mine it fits fine, with a little trimming of the hood.
