Have you been dyno'd with your current setup? It looks great.

 

(this was with the MREV2/spacer--I am going to dyno my setup with the Cosworth plenum in a few days).

Sorry for the ot VO

 

sexy bro get some pics of it installed asap balla status for sure

 

but it's not ARRRRRRRRC :P You know you want to be an ARC *****!

 

VO-Do It--Get the ARC exhaust and radiator! and shift **** and diff cooler!

 

Is aluminum the best thing to make an air box and tube out of? It seems to me aluminum would be very effiecient at transfering engine bay heat straight to the intake temps... CF might be better.

 

See, that cooler would be totally covered up by my rear lip. No point in getting for "show" application.

I like the glossy look on those *****. I already have the unglossy one...

 

 

I'm not worried about temp vs. gains. I'm into the show scene. Point system is what I work for...

 

very nice

 

So I started the installation process last night. I worked on it for about 2 hours then called it a night. I'm in no hurry and am extremely maticulate about my work, being careful to avoid scratches and make sure everything looks picture perfect. I ran into a few problems which I will have to work around, but nothing major. Here are some pictures I took along with captions to expain what's going on.

Give me a few minutes to get these uploaded. I'm going to post a few times to get them up...


Getting the engine bay prepped for surgery...

 

I took some measurements of the Samco couplers included in the kit, incase anyone was curious of the dimensions...

 

Some pictures of the piping test fit. As you can see I'm going to have issues with the little inlet on the bottom of the intake pipe. It amazes me why ARC would design the inlet pipe to shoot straight out into the firewall. The tubing from my catch can has to attach to this. If I attach it how it is, the tubing will crimp, cutting off air flow. I'm thinking about cutting the inlet with a high speed cutter to make room for the rubber tubing...

 

Here's a couple test fit photos of the induction box. It's an extemely tight fit in there. You have to install and remove the box very carefully. Some of the edges on the induction box are preforated, which makes them cut into plastic like a steak knife....

 

Here's the second problem I'm having. The problem is illustrated in the pictures. All suggestions are welcomed....

 

and dont forget the price of those cooler... of course a ncie piece..but....not visible with most bumpers... and 99% of people dont need it.


btw... nicejob on the engine bay

 

cant see any of the pix @ work. but im sure it looks great!

 

your a ***** in many ways my friend!!!

 

I promise to stop hanging out with your little sister..

 

oh snap.......your dead!!!
