eh, once you get the fan in there theres no room to speak of. my taurus fan clears my waterpump by like 1/2"

On the swap I was involved with we cut out the stocker rad support and rebuilt all the sheet metal in the nose to cant the rad almost all the way back to the stock bumper support. Built a shroud and tucked 2 8" fans in. T'was pretty sweet. But that car was also getting a full out show quality paint job


Yup.

if/when i rebuild the car i plan to lean it way forward (similar to stock?) and try to get most of the airflow out the hood. vmount without the intercooler lol

or with an intercooler... :suspect:

Flip those headers over, a couple of T3's on there - bam - 2 billion horsepower. OK OK, 1.9 billion.

So have you figured out what to do with the other 4000rpm of tach yet?

And everyone knows you throw the header wrap in a bucket of cold water, and wrap the headers, one it keeps itchness to below herpes levels, and it stretches so it doesn't sag like your grandmothers titties!

I'm assuming you're speaking from experience with both those comments? :rofl:

No to herpes, and your grandmothers titties are like molten metal on the ground man!

Yeah, that'd be underground spermburper....

Lol.....you mean what am I going to do with the other 500 rpm left on my tach:fawk: This motor with my Katech rod bolts and cam will spin to 6500rpm with ease. Others tell me I can take it to 7K but my cam stops making power at 6600 rpm AND the next weak link in would be the valvetrain and rods so there is no reason to rev her that high.

AND leave my grannies boobies out of this conversation you motor boating son-of-a-bitch!

Rotorboating!!! Wait... you are the anti-christ, you can have your MOTORboat :willy_nilly:

^
hahaha :)

Well I got my headers installed.....and what a pain in the ass. 5lb hammer was introduced to my firewall and transmission tunnel for a second time.... meaning the motor had to come out while they "conversed".

Your car is telling you something

It's pretty obvious it told him to come out of the closet! lol J/K

MAN, I just read from post page 27 to now and I got to say.........you guys all rock. Even with me doing this "bad joo joo" swap, you all are alright in my book.

As for the FC, I have got a shit ton of parts in this week that are mostly fuel and exhaust related. I had to sell the RB cans to Project86 since the 2 1/4'' wasnt gonna cut it. I ended up ordering some Magnaflow polished racing mufflers with nice tips.

Project86 has my S5 bumper and OEM S5 TII lip and should be spraying soon.
A buddy and I might be welding my entire exhaust system ourselves since the only place here in Great Falls dont do good work.


A lot of stuff has gone down and this thread has been neglected. I will change that soon.
Pics will be coming very very soon.

Update:

Started my fuel system today. Its looks alright....but I work with what I got. The sender also bothers be but at least it is shiney. I am still waiting on my 30R9 hose to route to the feed and return lines. I had a shit ton of the russell Twist-lok hose left over from my 13BT build so that saved me some cash (shit sells for 40.00$ for 10FT).
