Post by: gldgti on June 16, 2009, 06:55:31 pm: wow looks like you've done a nice job.

so is it turnkey finished or just all-back-together?

looks like you have a 1.6 but running low mounted turbo? also, let us know how your IC setup goes.

Post by: hamradio on June 16, 2009, 07:07:24 pm: Wow, that looks extremely nice. Great work!

What is this powdercoated thing bolted to the transmission?

Post by: Darth Garry on June 16, 2009, 07:14:55 pm: I'm driving the sucker now. Motor is 95% complete, just need to tweak the fueling and address a small oil seep coming from somewhere in there.

The "thing" bolted to the transmission is the intercooler. It's kind of like the old school callaway intercooler, mounted beneath, with a scoop built into the duckbill spoiler that pushes air into it. It's not crazy hardcore, but it made quite a difference, especially on the highway. Lowered EGT, fuel mileage went up, overall a good thing.

Radiator is this: http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/51960/10002/-1

Warning though - unless you're a proficient aluminum TIG welder, would not recommend. WE probably have 2 days of messing with it to get it to fit, mounted, fans, radiator hoses to fit, etc.

The horns are LOUD, supposed to be 153 DB, but I don't think they're quite that loud, but still loud enough to be heard from 1/2 mile away!

I did about half the work, all the interior work, some of the electrical, most of the design, and some of the fabrication, and all the grunt work (polishing, sanding, cleaning, running around, ordering crap). The heavy fabrication work, exhaust, and electrical stuff my brother in law helped me out with. He owns a shop called Inline Performance (www.inlineperformance.net) in upstate NY. Very reasonable and amazing quality of work.

Tell me about it, just getting from the ford freeway to I75 made me want to run over a lot of cars when I worked for a car parts carrier out of windsor.

I've been thinking of power coating the case of my spare 020 trans... when I knock it down to see if it needs any new rings and such. Something like bright blue or neon green.
