So, here's the car.
Its a 2.3 with 9.5-1 slugs. Stock cams and intake manifold for now. Im toying with the idea of building my own. The turbo that came on the car when I bought it was a BEP something-or-other. Slow to boost on the stroker and even slower when it was the stock motor. It was like waiting for bad sex. Well, the oil seals on the turbo are shot and the bearings on their way out.
Like others before me, I went with the 3052 to make for a nice street car/grocery getter. I had some money to play with so I thought I might as well do it right.
Sizing the oil and coolant lines. I went with all SS lines except for the oil drain, I used -10 Earl's nylon braided for ease of the transition. I used -6 for the coolant.
A buddy of mine made the downpipe for me. My radiator is 3in thick so he didnt have a whole lot of room to work with. We took all the necessary measurments and should be good to go but just in case I might even have to notch the core-support and tilt the rad in a little for clearance.
Another pic. I will be wrapping the DP with header-wrap. Gotta help the ALT survive as much as I can.
Here's my Air Filter. I borrowed the idea from my buddy. It was spendy but it shoud work great.
The first step is to get everything bolted on the car, drive it, and then start the Megasquirt install. Im really excited to get the MS goin. Anyone who is using currently knows about the VE analyzer and how easy it is.
Also purchased but not pictured is the WB02 and tweeter gauge pod.
Im hiding all reciepts for the girlfriend. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif Im scared to see what happens if she finds them.
