Gonna bump this thread, finally starting to work on the car again. Should have my new water to air intercooler by the end of the week, Pineapple racing dual EGT gauge rocked up last week and is tapped into the manifold and my engines going down south to my mate that was rebuilding it here this week. Hope to be back on the road in a month or to if I stop spending my money on other things.

Is that Pineapple EGT gauge backlit? I bought one similar to it from Pegasus and it wasn't lit so I couldn't see it at all at night. I don't remember if the Pineapple one comes with a light though.

Mazdabater · 03-07-2011, 04:36 AM

Yeah it is, comes with the bulb in the packet. Haven't installed it yet though, think I'm going to do an oil pressure gauge at the same time so I can't tell you what it looks like at night. Everything in the kit looked good quality, came packed the same as alot of aircraft parts do. Not going to rate it yet though as I haven't used it. I brought it more for a warning gauge then for tuning.

speedjunkie · 03-07-2011, 09:56 PM

Oh that's good, I guess I should have gotten that one instead then haha.

Yeah that's the same reason I got mine, just to monitor. Wish I could help you on the oil press gauge. I saw your other thread. The guy that molded his Prosports into the cluster was the first thing I thought of but it sounds like that won't work for you.

Mazdabater · 03-07-2011, 11:27 PM

Yeah I think they are going to be just too big to replace my stock one

Mazdabater · 03-27-2011, 12:47 AM

Not much of an update here. Pushed it back in the garage this weekend and had a look at it. Really need to get the engine back in but I think I'm going to have to do some pretty serious modification to get this W2A cooler in. The barrell is fucking massive. I may end up selling it and getting a smaller one, but since I'm a tight ass I think that I'll be modding the car to suit it.

rx71king · 03-27-2011, 01:19 AM

...i would like to see more

Mazdabater · 03-28-2011, 02:43 AM

Also, can you see what the intercooler may not fit?

LOL

rx71king · 03-28-2011, 02:04 PM

nice looking rails.....why are you trying to use that type of intercooler..?

Mazdabater · 03-30-2011, 02:23 AM

Shorter intercooler piping, freeing up radiator air flow, also allowing me to make a better CAI. Also just want to test them out and see how they go. I just listed it on ebay as I intend on buying a smaller one.

Mazdabater · 04-05-2011, 12:43 AM

Had some more bits rock up today, all completely useless and do nothing performance wise but I figured I'd share none the less

Mazdabater · 04-05-2011, 12:48 AM

Wow sorry about the crappy photo above but you get the idea. I also am trading my s4 this week for an 02 toyota corolla with 60000kms on it that should be alot easier to sell over here. So that should provide me with all the funds needed to finish my build

(provided I can finally get ahold of my engine builder)

And I brought this off ebay to remember her by

Mazdabater · 04-05-2011, 02:20 AM

Happy days! Just won a knightsports 260km/h speedo off ebay!
