A little refresh/save done my way! AND I LIKE PICS!!!

well finishing up the last little tid bits i didnt want to have to spend any money on something as trivial as a power steering fluid cooler so i took the old setup cut and rbent some of it and tigged 2 pieces together to end up with a rather oem looking and mounting piece if i do say wo myself.

heres what i ended up with rebent and welded up


and here it is installed just behind the intercooler and mounted using stock mounts rebent as well the other side looks about the same fyi




and i didnt order any 1.5" aluminum bends for the radiator pipes so once again i had to find something temp... ran by the local perfomance exhaust shop and they hooked me up with a nice little 45deg bend FREEBIE



so once everything was connected and the bumper reinstalled and some last minute minor trimming of some of the splash shields from this pic you can see how the radiator is definatly not too low




and for anyone wondering about a percision intercooler check out those turbulators let me know how that compares to your ole ebay core definatly cools very very well.

now that she has taken her maden voyage with the new setup i will say it cools VERY diferently than the stock setu that i did have before. niether of them had/have undertray ducting and i can say right now current setup cools slightly better 1-3 deg cooler till the fans kick on and with in 15ish seconds cooles the car right off and shuts fans down maintains temps better/faster yet not accaptable for what it has cost so far. So before you scream and lynch me i need ducting i know if i just happen to have some extra time in the next 2 days i might start but probably not till i get back... im sure the ducting will help imensly as you can see where all the air is going in my pics thus far. also to finish my cooling system of i will need som oil coolers which ill also get to when i get back which should definatly help the rad set up work wonders

WORDS OF WARNING TO OTHERS!!!!! im currently running the base PFC map while i have been playing with idle, cruise, stumbles yadyada driving smoothness and A/F ratios. NOW as i did not shange anything but the intercooler setup i can tell you right now 10psi with this intercooler is not 10PSI on the stock intercooler same turbos... at full boost before i saw all the way down to <10.2 AFR wich is over safe so wasent to worried about it. CURRENTLY im seeing balls out 10psi AFR's of 11.5-.8 definatly better for power at this psi but if thats all ya change be weary as it may not fall into as good of a range as mine did for your modification always tune after changing ANY intake part!




so with out further adu heres how she looks now till i get back





goahead let me know what ya think i aint scured
