Nothing huge as of right now. I have finished up my coolant lines, got some spark plugs etc. Just finishing up all the small stuff. All I really have left is to build a exhaust, get HP tuners. Oh and I need to make a new coolant line-that one we talked about. I still am unsure what im gonna do with it. Its that stupid steel line that runs around the back of the motor. Im thinking im gonna grab some tubing and just bend my own. Got any ideas?

You can do what I did and just cut the metal pipe in half(closer to the drivers side) and put an SS -6 line on it with a clamp and run it to your coolant tank. Done, Simple.

Sat down last night with a friend, had a few beers and thats the only thing we could come up with as well. Shy of maybe welding a an fitting on the end of the tube and going braided from there. Il let you know how it works out. Thanks!

Here is the catch can before we drilled out the top and put a filter on there.


And some NGK one step colder plugs ( Thanks David for this info)

Hey, where are these two lines going to and coming from? Im sure one is coming from the oil/air seperator, what is the other one connected to?

The other line is not hooked up yet but it will be going to my intake from the turbo so the catch can see's some vacuum. Il have some pics of that up soon.

Here are some more of the downpipe, all thats left is to add a dump for the wastegate and then I can move on to the rest of the exhaust. I am thinking about buying a cat back system then just building my own middle section to mate to it. Im thinking about going with a magnaflow sytem but its 700 dollars, does anybody know of any other companies that make a cat back for our cars? If I have to il go the magnaflow route but im not the biggest fan of there muffler or the big tip it comes with.

hey back to your dash a couple pages ago, how did you put the holes in there for the gauges? did you fiberglass over the openings for the air ducts then mod it from there? i wanted to do this but don't know where to start. i did the gauge on my steering column, and i like how it turned out so i want to try this, lol


horsepower is the force that determines at what speed you hit the wall, torque is the force that determines how far you take the wall with you after you hit it.

You have to cut the air vent spot right out, then I got some pvc pipe and cut some smaller peices off. Those were then glued in place on the bezzel. Once they are secure and where you want them, started laying some fiberglass. Drill some holes in the bezzel so resin can seep into it and make a stronger bond. It takes some time so be patient.......and I hope you dont mind doing a bit of sanding. I seen someone had some good pics when they were making a bezzel, I think it was Tinkles

Looks GREAT Kris. I just wish you put your bungs further down the downpipe for more accurate reading. Also they are usually supposed to be offset from eachother so the last one can get a proper reading as well.

MAYBE it doesn't matter, but I just thought that was the rule of thumb.

Keep em coming!

Awwww, no open waste gate? lol

That looks great though man, very nice setup.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

Did you find an exhaust yet? I heard that the Vibrant cat-back was a real nice setup, and one of the best sounding ones out. I haven't heard it personally, but when I started looking at getting one, that is the recommendation I got from most people I talked to.
