dennis Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well the cars off to a buddy's house to do a little body work on the engine bay and stuff is that a cast manifold? Full Race did a comparison and the cast won. I swapped mine out to cast T3, now I have to get my GT2860RS with a T3 turbine housing. Quote Link to comment

DAT510 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Look at that beauty... Really well done Topher. How much boost are you going to to run? Are you using a intercooler? It's gonna be a tight fit lol. Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I'm planning on 18-20 lbs. All depends on when I reach my power goal of 350-400 whp. intercooler is already installed. There Is a good amount of room the rad but the cold side of the IC is going to be an interesting fit... Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Yeah the cold side is going to be a tight fit. Maybe you can route it through the right side highbeam? Or through the inner fender? 18lbs of boost.... :devil: Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 It's just going to be interesting getting past the rad filler kneck and bottom hose... Quote Link to comment

sick620 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nice its coming along so well! Clean dime!! :) Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Took the motor out today. Body guy said in 2 weeks he should be done and the motor will be Installed for the last time and everything bolted up for good :) Anyone have a good idea of how to clean the INSIDE of an intercooler and radiator?

sjsilvera Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 All you need is some pool acid and run it through the radiator and watch the rust poor out. after that put the hose up to it and let it run right through. should do the job perfectly. Quote Link to comment
