It actually goes into the cabin through the firewall and runs through a percolator that is inside a mini fridge wired to the battery

One of the scoops will go down and out of sight and the other will probably go into the top of the airbox. Then when it is all done I'm probably going to send it to Chad to make me one that is welded instead of riveted. He can jig them and sell them at that point if he wants.....

EGR delete in progress....

 

Just remember to plug the hole, unlike this guy (me) who has done two Intake manifolds on my car and has it deleted, but not plugged...

 

Don't get it twisted - There's not way in $hit I'm taking off the I/M just to plug that hole!!! There's nowhere for the exhaust to go, so its not going to be heating it the same it would if it had flow. But if I do a I/M it will be plugged.

 

Same here! Next time it has to come off, Ill remember to plug it.

 

Oh yea Its time for the percolator, Its time for the percolator

 

I'll probably get an I/M and forget the plug. If you see me post a picture of an I/M please remind me! LOL

 

Now I've got that popping/bubbling noise stuck in my head.

 

Will do!

 

lol, nice!

 

Wow,this is a great build ,can not wait to start my 2.2 build and im loving the turbo kit awesome job, subscribed to this thread

 

Any updates on this car this year? I still cannot believe the results of the LMP turbo kit on this car. Mythical unicorn status results.

 

Sorry it took forever to respond and thanks for the compliment!

So last year I took the car to the track once on the road race setup (alignment, stiff R-comps and aero) and first pass ran the 10.4 with a 1.75ish 60', shifting to fifth.

Raised the rev limiter, put on taller, narrower street tires so I could finish in fourth and clocked off a low 1.6 60' and the clutch slipped immediately in fourth and still ran a 10.6@118.

I know that I need a new clutch and I've rebuilt the Exedy countless times - its a terrible clutch for drag racing - So I know I need a quartermaster and since I have to shift into fifth I know I'd be better off getting a taller final drive... So $1350 for the clutch, $600 for install, $1750 for the FD and trans refresh = $4k all said and done.

So I had a concours detail done at Rush Group Detailing including a 3-stage polish and now it sits patiently, looking pretty in my garage and I ride around on an S1000RR.............

Hopefully I might get a nice christmas bonus or a raise or something because I'd like to be able to run a 9 in full street trim and maybe flog it around Road America and finish this project.

It is weird when you get to a point like this with the car. Sometimes you think you should sell it and move the money along to a new project but sometimes I think I want to keep it forever.

 

Do you think the gold film makes a difference on the UICP and intake pipe? If yes, what brand is it?

 

I believe it does make an incremental difference, yes. It is (unfortunately) a stainless steel pipe, but even after road course sessions, its surprisingly cool to the touch.

It is DEI.

 

we had a 100% stock motor evo IX (aside of injectors bolted to it- and our LMP kit)- make 497whp at 23.5 psi lol- another making 700+ on a built 2.3 making 36 psi by just over 4000rpm!

these kits rock!
