What BOV are you using? It looks like a Tial.

Finally someone with a nice FD engine bay, there are not many that are so simple, and only draw attention to the real goods, and not overdone. So when is the dyno date?

CWR intercooler with custom duct utilizing relay and radiator relocation (since Duane never sent one), TiAL BOV, still tuning at the moment and just running off the wastegate spring so probably no dyno until I get a boost controller and more late-night tuning.

Thanks for the compliments,
Alan

That's a beautiful engine bay man! Good job!
You need a new intake pipe though.

i have a question, did you have to buy any kind of fuel controller or did you just have to change the injectors with the fuel pump. also, what brand of turbo manifold are you using and approx. how much did all of this cost not including the intercooler????



very very nice!!!!! i love it when you chrome polished it!!!!

aimedhigh: it's 4" santoprene hose from mcmaster carr. Don't have the number for it anymore, Max Cooper may know, I got the info from him.

rzograbian: you're kidding right? Do some searching, in addition to the injectors you'll need a stand-alone ECU. I use a power FC with datalogit and Techedge WB o2 sensor. I try not to think about the $$.

I notice you have the stock boost sensor which limits you to ~16.6 lbs are you going to change it? Grand national one works good.

Santoprene in the house! (Or, well, the car.) Go to http://www.mcmaster.com/. The part number for 4" hose is 53145K67. Search for that and it will load a page that lists standard and metric sizes in black and white.

Adax, your car looks fantastic, and you have clearly done a great job right down to the little details. The struts holding the mouth of the bumber cover even look nice! VERY nice work!

Do I detect some antagonism towards CWR?

The car looks GREAT, Alan. I was commenting to a friend that I couldn't believe how clean this car looked, before I realized it was yours.
Best,
John
