well, finally got my ARC replacement intercooler installed.

had help from brandon (aka evotistic).... thanx man!!!!!!!

lovin' the evo more and more...........

thanx for all your votes on the replacement front end and can't wait till the c-west front end arrives.

sorry for the dirty car pix.

 

lookin good jbigs, what is that on your lip in pic#2?

 

Looks good. Any impressions of it?

 

oh, about 2 months ago, a SUV ran over a big 3 foot piece of plastic and threw it ontio my car. it cracked my lip, made a little dent on my front bumper and scratche d and dented my hood in 3 places.

insurance took care of it, that's why i'm getting a new c-west front end.

 

i really like it a lot.

it is such a BIGGER intercooler (this intercooler by far is one of the best intercoolers made) and there was minimal loss on pressure. that's what i liked about this intercooler.

this kit does not come with lower intercooler pipes though. that's no problem for me since i love the stock turbo, but might be upgrading to the tommy mackinen titanium turbo soon.

eek poor spliterr.... but still a great looking car! good job

 

is your bov VTA?

 

yes HKS SSQV version 2 with upper intercooler pipe VTA.

minimal to no problems at all with the VTA BOV. i am not even using EIDS.

cool thanks.. I got the same setup but havent installed it yet. did you follow what the manuals says or did you install it any different? have pics of a close up shot of the bov so I can see how your is setup?

 

Did you consider getting an HKS Kansai bumper? That would look nice on your car.

 

yeah, i did, but i didn't want to go full fiberglas on a front bumper and opted for a c-west polyurethane - fiberglass blend for flexibility.

 

ouchh..cant imagine if i had 700 bucks lip and it cracks...anyway perfectly done..

 

looks good

 

seems like every month you have a new mod john. wish i was mayaman like you man

 

Beautiful.
