I thought about that and I'm still considering it. We'll see, I may play around with the idea a little tomorrow.

 

I got the radiator mounted today. Unfortunately, I took a look at trying to go with a v mount setup this morning and I won't be able to make it work because of the width of the intercooler and the angles of the pipes coming off of it.

Here's some pics.

 

How about something similar to the Sierra Sierra Enterprises Time attack Evo set up?.... I mean...You might as well keep your intake charge ice'd out since your spending so much on it right?!! might take a little more fabrication...but I guarantee it'll be worth it in the end... Check out the Panspeed V-mount and the Sierra Sierra Evo 8...just some Ideas...

 

Also...while the motors out... you should also look into picking up some of the thermal heat absorbing stuff a lot of guys are putting around their tranny walls and engine bays... haha.. sorry for trying to live vicariously through you haha..!! Great build man! i'm all over it!

 

I got some more fabrication done today. I've been working on closing in the radiator and intercooler. Here's more pics.

 

I decided to fit the sideskirts today and put everything together since I got my new bumper lights in, and since I have the oil coolers are installed now. I couldn't wait to see what it is going to look like.

 

Looks Great!!

 

Do you mind sending the part number for the setrab oil coolers? 32row etc? and dimensions?

 

I can get that for you tonight when I start pulling everthing off so I can take it to paint this week.

BTW, what exactly were you talking about with the "heat absorbing material"?

 

Setrab part no. 50-625-7612. They are 25 row and the dimensions are 11x7.5x1.75 for the core and 13x7.5x1.75 overall.

Thanks for the dimensions..

The material is good with heat absorption and pretty much sticks on just like tape.. People do their tranny tunnels and areas around the turbo mani etc... Also, ceramic coating your mani and hotside help as well... Just some ideas while the motor is out...

 

Off to paint tomorrow! I also got a call yesterday that Pineapple Racing is done with my motor. Too bad I have to travel next Tuesday for work and be gone for two weeks.

 

get back soon brotha!! what color paint?!! pics!!

 

Sorry, I've been stuck out of town on a project for work and haven't even had time to call the shop that's painting my car to see how it's going. It may be a few more weeks before I really have much more to report back.

BTW the color is going to stay Brilliant Black.

 

One of these days I'll get to go home and start putting my car back together. It's killing me (and my family) being out of town for so long.

 

My buddy stopped by the paint shop today and took some pictures for me so I thought I'd put them up here for all to see. Nothing too exciting...

 

I would be pretty excited about a new paint job... I've been too busy to get just a bumper painted.

Right now I'm woking on wheels. I'll have some pics soon.

 

what color?

 

I'm staying with the original black.

 

I got to start putting the motor back together this weekend. I managed to get home for a few days. Here's some pics.

The perspective makes the turbo look huge!

 

WOW!! everything looks awsome!!!

 

Here's some pics of the dual EGT probes I welded into the new manifold.

 

I stopped by the paint shop today and they finally got it painted. They said they will have it detailed and ready for pickup on Thursday.

 

Whooo hoo looks awesome

 

awesome man I was wondering when you'd post again haha.
