Alright guys, here is another phase down, completed a couple months ago though, I always get too busy to update, and yet again, my car braeks! oh well, there will be a revision to my path.....
Look what came in the mail!
It is the PR FMIC kit, real nice kit, all the parts, only complaint, as with others, is the Tbolts, most of them worked, I only broke 3 of them.
I also got this, the PR Radiator with shroud and 12" fans. I ended up not using the shroud and putting the fans on the front between the FMIC and Radiator.
Part of the reason I also mounted the fans on front is cause I had a little fitment issue:
Here is the FMIC next to the SMIC, BIG difference!
here is it mocked up with the bumper off:
Getting there. Got it all finished up and put the bumper on.
Cut a hole for airflow:
While i was doing all That, I also ported the compressor side of the turbo and added a boost nipple since the jpipe didnt have one.
I also dropped the battery and took the abs otu so it all would fit. Here is a pic of it mostly finished, only thing missing that I dont hae a pic of is with the 3" Dejon intake and K&N cone filter.
Also scored this baby for 100 bucks new!!
Added a 3" Magnaflow high flow cat and had it welded with 2 bolt flanges for easy drop out.
Put in my new prosport Evo gauges (no pics installed)
That was all of phase #2! All done, it is also tuned on e85 and speed density as well, no pics of those sensors either. I will get some and it them in at another time.
Next is a revision. I ended up doign a HG on the poor girl and discoverd a slightly bent rod!
So after some careful considerating I decided to go with a Longblock from SIM. The head will be a stg 1 with 275 cams, stg 1 port work, 3g lifters, upgraded springs, and fresh valves. The block is going to be a 2.3 stroker balanced to +/- .5 grams so it can be wrapped out to 8k safely. There will also be a few other odds and ends added as well for vanity reasons. That story should be coming soon! Or probably a month after it happens cause I am always delayed! Thanks for reading!
