Looks good! Quick question, how/where did you mount your IC? Did you make custom brackets?

 

[ade]

iv been swamped with work, barely any sun when i get done with my nap, ill post up pics manana

 

the progress your making is awesome. Do you care to post up some pics of your i/c setup in regards to the piping? Im having a hell of a time trying to figure out a good way to route mine.

Quoting ade:

apparently i cant concentrate while dead tired.

i'll take and post pics of ic mounting and pipe routing later today.

top mounting points are bolted to a frame thats welded to the body. for the bottoms, i bent some steel to work with bolt holes already available. ive got to re adjust for a better bolt hold, use bigger washers then rattle can.

scooped up the goodies on the left ta replace those on the right

also i found this by the ecu. any1 have an idea what this plug is?

 

[ade]

forgot about the pipes

throttle body, cold and hot side pipes are cut fit and ready for weld.
one 1g bpv flange
one 2.5" hump hose
one bending reducer
2 straight reducers 2.5" to 3"

not 100% sure but that should be the o2 voltage output.. you can run a narrowband gauge to it for a reading.

The job you did so far with the I/C pipes looks fantastic. Great build man.

 

[ade]

thanks brother, its hard not to rush through this semi build. I've been carless for almost 4 years, 3 of it was in the city where my fixie and Honda hawk got me to and from work and play. i now live in suburbia where u need a car to get anywhere. sux

When i picked it up last November, i thought i would strip the car down and take my sweet ass time putting it back together, yeah ok. All i look forward to now, is the day i push the pedal down and it goes. last thing i want is to go boom on that first drive, so im keeping a pace i know gives me time to attend to possible weak links as i kinda clean up the mess i paid for.

so far so good, i have about 2700(price of car included) into it. i've built road bikes twice that amount so yeah so far so good. i know i don't yap much on this thread, but i'ii make up for it in person, for im sure i'll meet a few of u and kill you slowly with endless questions.

A buddy stopped by today saw the car an said "when u gonna git that thang runnin" so i finished up the hood latch, front bumper & worked on the ic pipe routing a bit. we talked about going halvesies on a aluminum welder, we'll see(getting fed up ov waiting on people)

again so far so good, here is the remainder ov my list for those who care.

install ss brake lines
weld up ic piping
get alu 1g bpv flange
weld in flex pipe and wide band o2 bung
remove fix & reinstall rear steering hose
power steering pump rebuild
wiring to thermostat housing & fuel pump
find fuel gauge sender
install rear sub-frame bushings
build datalogger cable, pick up a palm
aaaaand... i forget.. there's always more

as usual i'll share as i go along.

Ade.

 

[transparentdsm]

if you want PM me i my have a palm laying around, at worst in about 2 or 3 weeks when im done playing with and finishing up 1365 i will have a palm and cable hook up i can sell ya for 55$ shipped... let me know.
