I feel sorry for any small critters that cross your path if they don't get caught in the V-mount they will be shredded by a turbo the size of a bucket.

Looks great so far if TT ever logs back in he will harass you about using A/N line for coolant hoses though.

When is the projected date of completion?

Where are you going to put the fan for the radiator?

LOL! Most likely it will rarely see normal street

I have to get it all done by mid Oct this year.. I'm going to be investing a lot of time starting May... and I think its doable.

Back of the radiator

Probably low profile 12-14 inch.

Not much to say..

April 10th, 2012 - Thanks to Chris Ludwig of Ludwig Motorsports (http://www.lms-efi.com/) will be helping me with the EFI solutions. I got these coils from him and going to figure out where I'm going to mount them in the engine bay..

2gslse · 04-10-2012, 08:27 AM

Phil, about your coils TT is the man to talk to about them I am using the same ones on my 13B-RE and they are under the intake nice and tight he a pic on here.

I am looking for one, and the only one that I've seing like that its the pro-jay one, which eliminates the thermostat, and it uses a NPT fitting

Project is looking great Phil. Do you and Walker have any plans to add an alumimum flap to the drivers side of your IC ducting (as shown) to seal that side of the front opening? Just a suggestion. Love the build!!

Holy Fuck thats an awesome build in progress

vincentrx7 · 04-10-2012, 09:16 PM

Nice Phil....What hp are you going to make and what trans are you using. It looked like a stock FD trans it I remember correctly. If you are going stock, you should drive my car at DGRR and see what you think of mine. It has been built by Liberty with face-plated gears...it is the same as SK8Worlds..maybe you drove his??? Let me know if you want to check mine out.

Bobby, I'm shooting for 650-700.. We'll see if I could do it or not (E85).
I'll be using a stock tranny and I now have 3 spare ones just in case

I would love to check it out if you don't mind.

Problem I'm having is that because the LIM is lowered, I don't think coils can fit under like the 13B RE.

We are still working on things and I think there is a plan set to do that.. Engine related fab work should be done in next month or so... after that, its all about paint and body... and making the engine bay pretty
