Just double checking my measurements were right, it's a super tight fit.

I find a good deal on a 10AE FC semi-local to me and decide to pick it up. Built motor, streetported, studs, extra dowels, T04R turbo with a nice manifold, Tial wastegate, front mount, Haltech ECU, Tein coilovers, and more. Motor was clearly low on compression so I got it for a decent deal.

I pull the injectors out and get them cleaned. They weren't very dirty but EGT's were uneven, indicating an issue. I also decide to pick up a third set of 2200's.

I take the car to Import Takeover and this is where I finally find the same air temp issue I had last time. This time, I figure out what it is. The intercooler flashes because the vehicle speed is too slow to cool it fast enough, 80F > 160F from 1st to top of 2nd gear. This is where I decide to upgrade it.

You can see that I fixed the issue by through-drilling the engine in that stud location with the engine in the car.

Picked up a new welder, and good thing, because the drill bit I bought to fix the issue was about 1" too short. I ended up welding a bolt on the end to extend the drill bit. I'll try to find a picture later on.

Turns out, threads had been pulled out of the front iron on one of the extra dowel pins.

So the car has been running pretty good until I get home and notice it's leaking underneath. It's leaking bad, between the trans and engine there is coolant.
