• I drilled my 1.6mf block for them as well.  Lay the aaz gasket on top, mark them, drill them.  They line right up with the holes on the aaz head.  Cant hurt.

• The iron is extremely soft as well. You could use wood bits.
  I drilled mine a little large than i was totally comfortable with. I'd go slightly smaller diam than the holes in the HG.

  yea it should be done with a nut & bolt with crimped/soldered end pieces and shrink wraped if possible, but it looks alright.  it fits right in with the budget build   but not ghetto  :lol:

• Nice!
  So how does it run now?
  *Videos please* !!
• #264 by Smokey Eddy on 27 Apr, 2009 17:10
• siigghhh ok...
  i weld the exhaust on friday though!
  
  Edit: Welding got postponed next week...
• #265 by Smokey Eddy on 21 May, 2009 22:56
• Yeeeeuuughhhh the welding keeps getting pushed back and back i dont think i'll ever get it done...
  
  I just calculated my mileage and its about 45mpg (+/- 5).
  It has over 4,000 kms on the build so far. I'm about to roll over to 400,000!!! I'll try and get a video of that
  
  I just changed the crank pulley while the forum was down. This is what the old one looks like note the sheared off bolt from a PO and the cracking. The crack went all the way down. I broke two sockets getting the bolt off and lifted the car off of the jack stand it was on  (thankfully back down ONTO the jack stand...) with the help of my friend just GIVIN ER on the cheater bar to undo that bolt. An impact gun didnt do it either. but we used the impact socket since it would be of higher grade than my cheapo sockets and it worked like a charm  !!!!
  
  
  The tool of course. Anyone can have this now that im done with it. Cost of shipping and the flat bar please! I'm a poor student! Just look at my car
  
  
  And my exhaust that i can't weld....  
  I paid 76$ CAD for all this pipe. It's 2.5 inch and that's a 10 foot length. Don't ask me how i just owe my friend a huge favor come time to rebuild his 5.0L jeep's tranny.
  
  
  
  And my long awaited project, the BIG flat fans! Here is the lay out of the bracket that should match up on the Radiator. I just need to drill the bolt holes and weld it.

• Woo hoo!
  some interesting pictures.
  
  
  dual side exit!
  
  
  Don't laugh at the welds! It's not what i do for a living okay?
  ps those are not the final welds. I did a full pass around and then ground the welds and then did a 2nd pass. No leaks!
  
  Fixed my bursting hoses for much much bigger ID pipe. Yes its ABS plumbing pipe.
  
  and i drilled and tapped my intake for the LDA.
  
  Just need a video of a wicked burn out with the exhaust just PUMPING out the sides
  
  my next project! Bolt on flood lights!
  
    Yes Vince, they are princess Auto! $40 for the two!
• #267 by 8v-of-fury on 19 Jun, 2009 21:17
• YESSSSSSSS EDNAAA
  
  I was thinking of doing the same to get a dual pipe... ACTUALLY!
  
  How did it work out in the end? how do you have it secured to the car? Bolted through the floor or what? Sheet metal screws? lol Give me your secrets!!!  Hey.. if the weld holds.. its a good weld

• i used steel All-Round on the cross member at the back and the stock hanger location that is just past the cross member at the back. It rumbles against the cross member on idle which i need to fix (just tighten the all round with the help of a friend, you should come over.) but other than that it's great. It can blow 1m wide balls of soot probably 10-14 feet out the sides when it's just sitting still with a quick foot to the floor in neutral i really need a video but it rained today and is pretty dark now.
  
  i cut my down pipe down because it was too heavy and put the flex on the DP then i butt welded a coupling to the flex and the main piece (the 10 foot cut down with the Y and sides) slides into the coupling and then i keep it in place with just those two hangers. Surprisingly i haven't needed to keep it from spining in the coupling but im sure i will need to do that. But it's drivable now! and no diesel stink! uhh i mean... i unfortunately dont get to breath diesel exhaust through the vents anymore in my 2.5 hours a day of commuting...

• Floodlights where the roof rack used to be sounds good BTW!
