That is beautiful work! sent you a PM.

 

Very NICE write up!!!

BTW: is the PFS IC for sale??????

 

Very nice, I love that IC. BTW any info on what your intake temps were before w/ the PFS intercooler and after with the CWR? I would love to do a comparison with what the intake temps on my Blitz fmic are.. I smell a new thread.

Matt

 

I met you a few years ago with Francois. I loaned him my wheels and tires and he left them at your house.

Anyway, how do you polish the intake manifold? Rob Robinette site is down.

 

mjw,
Air intake temps per PFC peak hold value running 12psi boost on the long course at VIR last fall (ambient temps near 85deg*F*) I was seeing air intake temps near 100deg*C*. I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get some new data to support my switch from the PFS "system" to the CWR "system"

pomanferrari,
I remember as to how to polish the plenum whew well.... a drill, sanding disks starting at 150 grit or whatever is necessary to remove the rough finish, work your way down to 350 grti then 600 as a final before polishing then use either a red or black polishing stick with a good buffer. Be prepared to spend A LOT of time and have some sore muscles.

now THAT is how you do a job correctly. holy ****! what an awsome job/labor of love. you are one of the first people I have seen that can work on my car anytime!

great job man!!! and great install. I liked all the pictures. looks like you are as resourceful and capable and attentive to detail as me what's your day job?

 

3rdGenLvr,
Alas the PFS intake and IC were sold in order to fund the CWR schtuff.

forcefed1,
You're too kind...I'm blushing. My occupation? "gubment slug"...specifically? A mechanical engineer working in the nuclear power industry where mistakes and shoddy workmanship can be costly. Knowaddamean?

and look at the beautiful Torque brace he designed and used for many years on the track.

 

Phil, you crack me up!

Crispy

 

That is the nicest engine bay I have ever seen. I'd say your setup is as close to perfect as you can possibly come. Great work.

 

beautiful job, incredible attention to detail....reminds me of Rob Robinette's old car

I installed my M2 medium in about 2 hours and it works great....I'm not patient enough to spend six days tweaking and polishing stuff, I just like to haul ***

 

Chris,

I must say you might have the world record for time spent installing an IC and intake

The end result is stunning though, as to be expected of the Crispy Mobile.

I wish I could stop working on customer cars and get back to that fun fabrication intensive install stuff on my car.

See you in Aug.

Pauly D

 

everybody is doing the torque brace now it seems, btw your engine bay is beautiful, i like to see when guys can actually do the work to their car and it actually looks good. i know too many that work on their car and it works and looks like ****

 

You have one of the cleanest FD's I've seen. Your custom work is excellent.

 

Duane Krumweide wrote me back about the CWC intercooler.

He wrote:

"$1395 includes - IC, brackets, polished piping, CF duct, clamps and couplers.

Lead time is approximately 4 weeks. I'm looking for committed orders to begin another production run.

DK"

 

I've decided that's the IC I want.

 

Crispy, Very, very nice!!!!

 

sweet stuff... beautiful work...

Niceeeee! So how many people that were originally missing their CW IC ducts - received thiers?

 

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!..i wish i knew how to work on my car. it would save me a wad of cash..

 

Great engine bay...I'm quite jealous.

But on the topic of CWR IC ducts, is that your own duct or from Duane?

I too haven't received my duct and don't really expect to get one. I have been forced to modify the stock duct and use some sheet metal as shielding--quite ugly, but more importantly it is not as effective.

 

yzr-f1,
oh trust me I like to haul *** too but I prefer to do it without the fear of breaking something at every turn.

PaulyDee,
See you at VIR....I can't wait
Nice avatar BTW

7sweetie,
This is a good thing. After all I was the designer
tankyouberrymuch

Mr. Stock,
Duane is a great guy to work with but as with all things quality it usually takes some time...more than most are willing to give.

rceron,
Yes that is a CWR CF duct.

Thanks guys...and gals It's nice to recieve compliments after some hard work.
Regards,
Crispy

 

Wanna trade FD's?

Afterall, you seem like the kind of guy who actually gets enjoyment out of "working" on the car. You must be bored now that it looks and runs so well, I think you shld take my FD.

 

LOL,
Actually yes I enjoy working on my car just as much as I do driving it It's a stress releiver and I find it very rewarding. But it comes and goes. I drive it for 3 months then feel a need to tinker. I tinker for 3 months then feel a strong need to drive it again Currently I'm in a driving kinda mood
