blog #6: Car back from fabrication

WJM · 06-13-2007, 07:22 PM

Downpipe and exhaust work is completed
Intake piping completed
New crossover tubes completed

problems:
-Need to clean out metal shavings
-Purchased anti-srge compressor housing doesnt fit
-Need a different intake elbow to finish

What's left:
-Bolt up the coolant and oil return lines
-buy a 90 deg 1/4" npt fitting
-Some bling work
-A break in and a little tune

MAYBE this weekend it will breathe fire, but more than likely it will be another month, as i leave town for a week and then am busy through the end of July on the weekends

Intake elbow (what are you looking for?) and 1/4 fitting. May not be much but I'll happily send them to you if what I have works for you... least I could do.

Unless you actually bought a "anticompressor"

I found the elbow on ebay and just ordered it

If so, I spent a few hours staring at your engine bay last week when they were doing my downpipe. Nice work, I was taking notes from your work for my own engine bay

I assume brass. Send me a current address for USPS Priority and I'll stick however many you need in the mail tomorrow.

Like I said, least I can do.
