Broken bolt drilled out and re-tapped with a helicoil:
First I want to say that you have executed this very well and with great detail. I wish my exterior was as clean as yours!
...build your ducting to connect between the core of the IC and the radiator core.
How's the centerforce clutch holding up? Any launches or pulls on it yet ? Is it really a twin disc setup for $260? Did it come with a flywheel? Thx for the help bro! Sick build by the way!!
What helicoil kit is that? Looks nice instead of having that t-handle crap
Awesome build, wish I had you painting skills!
Thanks!! It's getting rare to see a 1G dsm that looks clean and stock, and people definitely notice. It already has rock chips and a few scratches, but I don't care one bit. I drive it every day and have a lot of fun with it.
I might give that a shot if this doesn't work out for me. Currently my scoop is (or should be, in theory) directing the air behind the intercooler and up in front of the a/c condenser and radiator. Here's a pic I stole from Calan to show how I routed the scoop:
I don't have any pictures of the ducting behind the IC but Here's s few from mock-up. My coolant temps stay rock steady around 165F.. which is actually a but cooler than you would want in a primarily Street car.
Damn, I WISH my temps were that low. Do you have pics of the mock up? I think I'll log some temps for a couple weeks and then switch to your setup and log temps again.
Before I put the scoop on the car would get to 210-220 or above even when it was only 70 degrees outside. So I wired up my fans to a switch, and if I keep them on all the time it won't break 200. I'd rather not run them all the time though.
I haven't logged any with the scoop yet though, I'll start doing that this week.
Wow that's crazy, it still ran fine with the timing off? I just went through the whole leaky water thing too. Timing was good but when I pulled head off, there were marks on the pistons where all 8 intake valves had hit. I can only assume the previous owner broke the belt and then just threw it back together with bent valves. Anyway, I feel your pain..
