Very rough cut, after I removed the styrofoam plugs. They need a fair bit of sanding/trimming and some more epoxy before they look pretty. I'm still going to make a vented hood bump extension before I make any cuts to factory hood. Whatever I do, will most likely be transferred over to an OEM...
Why not vent it the same way as the factory intake system???I made a cold air box around a k&n filter that draws its air through the factory fender snorkel.
Since my stock hood has some damage, I'm not too worried about messing it up. Mealing Racing had an OEM hood with extra vents cut just in front of the strut towers. It did not look too bad, even tho it was just holes in the hood. Some louvers would definitely make it more effective.Break...
Bumping an old post to see if anyone can point me in the right direction.6-bolt swapped 2G with 2G head, that is running great when cool.If I've been driving the car for awhile, the factory dash gauge never goes over midway. My after market coolant gauge is usually between 200-215 while...
Reinstalled the OEM radiator in hopes of fixing the hot start issue with factory hood.Added a wire between relays so both fans turn on when the main fan is activated.Exactly the same problem.Even with a thick washer added at the rear of the hood to let heat escape out the back, I'm still...
Holes didn't line up, crank hits, main studs, wasn't flat, leaked from around flange, no hole for factory dipstick. I put pictures in my build thread. I am running a stroker, so that may introduce extra clearance issues.
Hot start issue still happening. I'm beginning to wonder if the extra thick Mishimoto radiator is just not letting enough air flow through the radiator compared to the stock, thinner factory one. I may try swapping the stocker back in. I have not been stranded yet. :) The oil leak is from...
Couple issues. It appears I am still losing some oil, but nothing is dripping on the ground when parked. Yesterday I ran into a Hot start issue several times. I don't think my fuel tank vent (emissions delete) is working quite right. Coolant levels when parking are around 210F which is about...
Car is back together, and seems to be working fine. This clutch definitely drives different. Much easier to stall.No more parasitic battery drain. New $68 amazon alternator appears to have fixed this.OBX Racing oil pan received a coating of JBWeld around the bottom of the entire flange to...
