Is that the satin finish? Does the intercooler come in a polished finish?

Intercooler is semi polished, not like Greddy, more satin or unfinished look. Looks good though I was like holy Sh*t when I first saw it in person.

I'd go, but I don't get my car back until Friday of next week. Shortly after, going to get the ZEX kit from Kevin.....install my Kinetix plenum, and SAFC II. I have been researching the FI option......I think that a greddy is in my near future......like a couple of months!! Maybe set up another track day.....I still have to meet everyone in the area....looks like I won't leave unitl Jan 05 for OBC.

Kevin, car looks great.....can't wait to see it week after next. Did the aluminum bumper have to be removed for the intercooler like on the Greddy? That is the only downside that I can see so far.

Kevin,

Awesome, I wanna watch you run that beast. It seems like just the other day we were talking about you wanting FI "some day." Now look! Time flies eh? I can't see the SS box I must be getting old, I see the port wire but not the box, what color is it? Is it the black box to the left of your battery? Can you run UR pulleys with this kit?


So it purges N20 into your IC or how does that work? Like WI?

It's amazing! This board has to admit Nor Cal represents the Z nicely!

Steve,

We can do it another day I have been wanting to meet you too. Let's all pic a future date that gives everyone a chance to plan.
So your gonna mod your baby all up then bail on her? It'c cool Godspeed man.

Kevin,

Can I drop by Motorsports and watch the tuning if I am still off nights? What time you gonna get there, it's like 10 minutes from my house?

From 3rd picture from the bottom, it looks to me like the aluminium support is still in place.
Looking through the installation instructions that are with the vortech kit, it doesnt mention removing it.
The intercooler smaller than the Greddy item.

Nice job Fluidz.

Yep, when you buy the polished kit, you get a polished blower, intercooler and all piping. That is what I've been told. I can confirm in about 5 days
