Damn that looks nice. You don't have any sort of catch can for relieving crankcase pressure?

 

Feeds into the intake. So far it's pretty dry.

 

What's the dimensions of your I/C core? you got me curious

 

Back early from work, so here's a few pictures from the little progress I have made on the car.

First pic with the cardboard off so you can see the V. Sadly you're never gonna see this through the bumper.

Fully welded up and pressure tested to 45 psi. Anyone else running Skunk2 throttle bodies find their gaskets to be pure shit?


And out she comes to fill a few last holes, a quick stint of body work and we will be spraying by the end of the week Out the top by myself, removable crossbraces are the tits!

 

Hey bud, good looking build ! Quick question. What type of oil filter/cooler housing is that??

wow really nice progress mate

 

after countless hours of sanding... sprayed paint last night . Have a few dust spots but that's pretty much to be expected in a plastic curtain garage booth, and for what it was it actually worked out way better than I thought. I went with a gloss black single stage urethane. Should hold up very well to oil/chem spills, and no worries about making a shiny spot if you gotta scrub it a bit.

you do not have enough flexibility in your charge piping. without a secondary flexible joint in your charge piping on each side of the intercooler you are going to experience issues with the vanjen clamps breaking. they are not intended to take up all the motion/vibration and flex between your engine and the hard mounted intercooler. having such a long moment arm you will put a great deal of stress on the clamp to hold it together and they will fail- i guarantee it.

i am strongly recommending adding an additional flexible joint at the intercooler on both the inlet and outlet as i have done with my setup that has even shorter pipes than yours.
