Are the fans relocated to the front with this setup?

 

Don't want to thread jack anymore. Link
No, they are not relocated.

 

Awesome work

 

Nice! Looks good man.

 

T, with the 36mm mishimoto, the stock fan shroud does contact the charge pipe ever so slightly. However it does not actually push the charge pipe back at all so its not really a problem. I hope that makes sense. You could always use a thinner fan shroud setup. Personally I was impressed with the Mishimoto's fit given the price.

The install was super easy, it mounts just like stock and did not require any trimming to either the core support or fan shroud. I should mention that I have deleted my AC, so not having the condensor in there might have gave me a little additional room to work with.

 

Ebay special! It has worked nicely so far, no leaks.

 

nice spoils...looks great!! r u gonna run a street/track tune? 10/15psi??
what r u expectin with numbers?

 

^ yep, I will be getting multiple maps, and also plan on running a meth setup I will be buying with my economic stimulus money, lol. I would like to see 450rwhp out of it, we shall see.

Some more pics from the process... Keep in mind this is a track car, and the exterior is very dirty and not done so excuse the ugliness, haha:

somewhat assembled engine shot, you can see the RC injectors and pretty CJM rails


note the pulley delete mod, and gutted AC compressor.

Nice!! Must be rewarding to do then engine swap all by yourself - and frustrating.

I'll have to follow your setup long-term to see how that rad holds up. Might think about picking one up myself.

 

that plenum will end up being a pain in your @ss. swap it out now. It won't hold up to 15 psi. on the APS single I worked on, it was leaking at 9 psi...

 

+1 mine cracked at 9psi also.Kinetix was nice enough though to send me another one and I immediately sold it and put a Crawford plenum on

 

Old version or the new one?

I think there are a few people running the v+ over 10psi, Jay'z comes to mind for one... Either way if it cracks I will not exactly be crying myself to sleep, I paid something like $100 for it, lol. Thanks for your insights though.

 

Mine was the older version and they sent me a newer version.

 

I'll sell you a polished Crawford w/strut bar combo that I'm about to put up on the marketplace but you prolly don't want or care about the bling factor.PM me if you want.

 

Shoot me a PM with price and pics...just found out my Crawford has a couple hairline cracks.

 

+2 Bro, listen to coach.. I have the same prob.. I hit 15psi the other day and it caused my V+ gasket to leak out.. (third time this has happened) It wont hold.. Youll keep having to replace the gasket at any high psi over 7 IMO.. I am looking to swap it out soon..

The weak link on the V+ is the ******** cork gasket it comes with..

 

Okay, I have been convinced

<--- Heads over to the marketplace.

 

Congrats man keep us posted...

 

Congrats on your self install.......nothing like being able to do it yourself.But i will never again attempt to install a greddy kit while motor is still in car.

 

Yeah that is what I figured. Has anyone tried to remove the cork gasket and use a different gasket material for boost purposes? Or maybe RTV.

I may try it for giggles, why not. If it fails, I'll go back to the oem upper plenum.
