maxboost87 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Progress so far. Custom intake will keep throttle body in stock location so no need to relocate battery or hack into radiator support for piping. Fabricated oil pan from .090" 6061 aluminum will keep oil in the sump. Fidanza flywheel, centerforce 6-puck clutch for grip. Once intake is finished, plumbing fuel/oil system and wiring of Haltech ecu begins. More updates coming soon.

pc85 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) I'll use it for the break in then go synthetic and upgrade to K&N or a Pure One. After thinking about it, you're right. I'll change it before the break-in. Edited September 19, 2011 by pc85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
