i figured you'd have plumbed the intake to an area that wouldn't be so stinkin' hot
even with water to air intercooling, wouldn't you rather start off with colder air?

I will be moving the intake to in front of the wheel. Just didn't have any pipe yet to make it. Figured once it is driveable I can bring it to my buddy to get something welded up.

Thursday it's booked in for an alignment.

Hey rado, no I won't be bringing it down to GCVW this year (Still a little too far to drive after just getting it on the road). Instead I have it signed up for a local car show along side a bunch of hondas and a sweet 370z. Will post pictures after this weekend as they will be some nice ones.

Amazing work, I love the bay.
I was out in Kamloops for a soccer tourney a couple weekends back, could barely see across the valley because of the smoke. Things looking better out there now?

So.... how does it run? As you expected? If you ever have problems with your car and are near Merritt, my home garage is open for any repairs you might need. I also have a pit and a roof mounted chain block which makes some things a little easier. Very nice build by the way!

Great job. I don't know how you did it so fast. I kind of hate that you could do that working in a storage unit and I have a barn and cant get done. Please post vids to keep us motivated.

She is running pretty well. Better than I expected for only 600km so far. Only issue is I appear to have oil leaks from the oil pan gasket and potentially the rear main seal
. Guess that gives me something to do this winter. EGT's are slower getting cooler and don't creep up so fast anymore when I push the pedal. Tomorrow I am getting the fuel pump properly timed so hopefully that helps. Also for some reason oil temps are insanely hot, highway cruisin yesterday they were a steady 270F
. And that is with my oil cooler showing half of itself in the front bumper. I'm going to move it behind the grille so the entire cooler gets airflow. But all in all she is driving fine, boosting stock 9psi right now, will go 25psi once I've driven more then 3000km.
