I went through last weekend and used Cool It heat shielding sleeves on all of my vacuum lines and wastegate lines. I feel much more comfortable knowing that all of them are protected now. I also redid my fpr with the new Aeromotive that I got. I got the rest of the an fittings that I needed to finish it properly as well.

 

sweet. only thing is i would have had the WG pointing downwards or sideways and not straight up where things could drop into it.

 

yeah lookin' nice but I agree with the above. Unless you plan to plumb that thing back into the exhaust or you have a dump tube that points it towards the ground I would turn that wg toward the bottom of the car.

 

I agree with both of you too. I am going to make a dump tube for it real soon. I wish that I could just point it straight down, but the wastegate tube coming off of the manifold is not quite long enough to do that. I am planning on running it open dump though.

I just turned it up this weekend to get ready to fabricate the dump tube.

I am doing some tuning today for 5lb of positive pressure to finish the breakin period!!!

 

With all that shine, you can clean it up just a little bit more by removing those AC/PS studs ;D


Looks good so far!

 

I am planning on putting the A/C back on!

 

Any news?

 

I am going to install the Koyo radiator this weekend, and the alcohol injection kit as well. I have had some cooling issues up to this point. I also have not tuned for any boost either. Temps have been getting up to the 220 mark under light load on short trips, so I am hoping that the Koyo helps out with that.

If the koyo does not cool it down enough I will look into running a reverse vent hood. I do not want to, but It would greatly improve the efficiancy of the radiator and the LARGE front mount intercooler.

I am close to having 900 miles on it and am just about ready for a full tune. J-RAT is going to do all of the tuning on this beast!! I am shooting for the first weekend in September for this to happen.

 

wow 220 is pretty damn hot. i'd be kinda worried about that if it's just short trips with no boost.

 

Hence the afore mentioned steps to cure it. 220 is not horrible, but I would like to see a 210 max temp.

 

Updates? :O

 

beer?

 

allright...i WANT the news!!!
why is this being parted out!?!?!?!?!?
what happend>?
the WHOLE story....

 

Well, we were tuning the car and the inside thread injector for the methanol decided to come apart. It then proceeded to go through the intake manifold.While entering the primary port to the rear housing it decided to pick up a diffuser for the ride. Hence forth me only selling one rotor housing.

 

i just read through all of this... are you serious!?!?!?!?!? all that wonderful work to be destroyed by that? man i feel bad for you.. are you selling everything or sticking with it? i gotta know
