Highly Boosted Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 well here are the pics of the engine mounts.I also had to modify the TB. I cut off a good chunk of it for a couple of reasons.1. I dont need the traction control lol2. weight reduction3. and the real reason is that I will have more room to make the IC pipeing fit. http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/3295/1000423ny3.th.jpghttp://img299.imageshack.us/img299/7759/1000422yg1.th.jpghttp://img299.imageshack.us/img299/733/1000421sn5.th.jpghttp://img299.imageshack.us/img299/6186/1000420ui5.th.jpg I got the batter box mounted as of yeasterday too. ems was orderd so now craig87 can start the wirring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulja620 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 awesome man!!!what you got planned for radiator fitment?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highly Boosted Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 awesome man!!!what you got planned for radiator fitment?? I am going to try to fit the stock rad in back of the intercooler. If I move my IC forward a 1inch or 2 the rad should fit good but i will need to change the fans to some smaller ones. the rad fitment is going to be a pain in the butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'd throw the stock radiator in the trash. I wouldn't trust it with a $6-7K build at all.. Get a two row Griffen, cut the stock radiator support and tilt the radiator. Or get a custom built one(shorter) and put it in front of the stock radiator support.

I have the griffen alum rad for the starquest but i was going to mod a stock rad first to make sure everything would work befor I cut into a $300 rad. I dont want to cut either core support so i can keep the OEM look. I had 160ECT temps with th 2.6l so cooling the 2jz should be fine on my griffen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy larry Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 MMM OEM Look keep the hole saws in the tool box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highly Boosted Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I want to make it look like it came that way from the factory. It would be so much quicker to just cut the upper support but i just never liked doing that. Any one have any ideas on what fuel system I should use for 600WHP+Just to let you know im useing the stock gas tank and the fuel rail gets feed form both sides with the return in the middle heres my choices 2 255lph walbro pumps2 -8 feed lines2 -8 fuel filters-6 return OR Aeromotive A1000 pump 600lbs/hr 370lph estall -10 single feed line-10 filter-10 to -8,-8 Y blockdual -8 lines out of the Y block to the rail-6 return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly Boosted Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 that what i was thinking cus I dont want a million lines under my car.2 fuel feed lines, 1 return line, 1 battery cable, 1 nos line = big problemsThe rad is fitting pretty good. it should turn out nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCNTSi Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 That car is gonna scream :!: But I wouldn't feel to good about that radiator (espicially with smaller fans), unless you don't plan on DD it. If you want to keep it looking stock under the hood I would go with something from like (a radiator from) a 7MGTE, or something. But obviously thats up to you. -GCN.

Highly Boosted Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 well the rad is mounted and the IC is almost done getting mounted. I had to cut the rad cap off to make room for the hood latch so i am getting a remote filler cap that gets mounted in the upper rad hose. I can even fit the 2 small stock fans in there. Heres some more pics for ya http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/8858/1000424iz9.th.jpghttp://img125.imageshack.us/img125/5186/1000426xb4.th.jpghttp://img125.imageshack.us/img125/9494/1000427gs8.th.jpghttp://img125.imageshack.us/img125/8149/1000428kw9.th.jpghttp://img125.imageshack.us/img125/6117/1000429yv0.th.jpghttp://img125.imageshack.us/img125/8463/1000430tg0.th.jpghttp://img125.imageshack.us/img125/2913/1000431eo1.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly Boosted Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 well the throttle cabe is done. I shortened it quite a bit but I should have took 1 more inch out of it but its too late now. I used a bmx bike cable end to make the connection to the thottle body. I also made one of the heater core hoses out of my stock ones I just needed to buy a hose barb. I also got the all the nitrous,fuel and purge valves mounted and the micro switch mounted to the TB. Tomarrow I will grab some injector clips and map clip from the scrap yard along with a couple factory GM strut tower braces to use as my tranny crossmember. This wed and friday craig87 is coming over to finish up all the wireing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
