infernosg's S5 N/A Build

[infernosg]

A few quick updates. Been working slowly as "real" work has been kicking my ass.

Used old engine parts to make a dummy engine for figuring out where stuff needs to go:



I've been going through a lot of the stock connectors and replacing them with Weatherpack connectors too.

Test fit new radiator:



Going to need to make some kind of shroud around it to force air through it.

Stock mechanical fan is being replaced by a 16" puller. Supposedly pulls 3000 CFM at 10 amps continuous. Not sure if I'll shroud this or not as the car really won't see a lot of driving in traffic.



Note Weatherpack connector again.

Made ECU/relay mounting thing out of .025" aluminum. Everything fits in the stock location and there's a thicker aluminum kick plate that covers everything up. Mounted new fuse panel behind the passenger's kick panel as well:



Temporarily installed dual wideband gauge (displays info from two sensors at once) so I can run all the wires:



Other gauges:



Gauges are Marshall Instruments SCX Pro in black/black. Pretty good for the price (~$100): 270 degree stepper motor, warning output, peak recall. Super company to deal with too. Not sure where to mount the recall button just yet.

Irons/housings are still with Defined Autoworks. They ran into a problem with the front iron and it had to be replaced but it looks like everything will be taken care of.

Need to find someone with a TIG locally to weld shut the heater port on the radiator.
