I am curious on what kind of power it makes. Putting it on the rollers soon?

Get a vacuum block yet.. I bet you would love this one. I just ordered one the other day. $35 shipped.

HOLY SHIT that thing is awesome! Definitely on the list... Thanks man! She'll be on the dyno as soon as I up the boost to 8 and find a place that has a dyno dynamics dyno..

So today I spent about 4 hours doing a nice mild wire tuck. When I finished the car wouldn't start. I then spent the next hour taking apart my beautiful tuck only to realize that I had the vaccum line that goes from the valve cover to the manifold off. I put that back on and the car started just fine. Now I have to retuck /most/ of the wiring. FML.

I need a line for the wastegate, bov, soon enough boost controller, etc. My current set up is all lines and tees. Looks kinda bleh.

Exactly, more T's = more possible boost/vac leaks depending on yoru setup. Vacuum block cleans it up. There are 2 3/8'' NPT fittings on each end of the unit which is not pictured.

URL on the picture is where I got it from. You can get them on ebay for $32 shipped but not in Gold.

nobody seems to care when no updates arise about this log, except me :/ lol

you needs a crazy sick fuel system.

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 11:57 pm

Lol thanks man..

Fuel system is unnessecary for now.. I'll probably be getting to it next year..

Here's some photos.
Bay before..

Bay after..

Coolant line moved over, HID harness now runs under manifold, behind frame, to ballast. All colorful wires wrapped and loomed. All headlight wiring hidden.. gotta relocate the battery before I can start cleaning up even more.

Ordering the secret mod this week. 1 member here knows what it is..

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 12:02 am

secret mod, oh boy oh boy oh boy. too bad its not me that knows

and not too bad on the tucking. definitely relocation of battery will clean it up nice.

Very nice! Love the color in the shots. What settings/gear did you use for this shoot?

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sat Aug 01, 2009 9:55 pm

Very nice shots!!! You should wrap some of the colorful wiring in black electrical tape it would blend a bit better. Lots o colors! O_O

Thanks man. D90 by it's self, 1-2 second shutters.. settings on vivid. WB on auto, ISO 100.

Yeah I managed to get the bulk of the wires wrapped up in electric tape, I'm debating whether to do the rest, cause if you don't wrap it perfect, the electrical tape just looks ghetto, imo.
