Re: Griffin Race Intercooler + piping pics (all done!)

Looks good!

Two questions:

1)How are you getting oil back to the pan? Blower looks too low for gravity return?

2)Is that line that is attached to the top of the throttle body still going to the valve cover? If so it is going to pressurize

Damn John! Looks awesome so far. I like the cut out for the intercooler in the front of the nose.

I had been planning to cut out the nose insert ever since I saw it on Reckless' car at BG, but WS6Scott and Jesse's cars have it cut out too.

Looks fuggin awesome John! But do yourself a favor and invest in some T-bar style clamps. Those worm clamps are never gonna hold. I was blowing those things off with the turbo setup again and again.

Can't wait to see her run!

Re: Pics of Griffin Race Intercooler + Custom Piping - ALL DONE!

that is one of the first things I noticed too Reckless. Ya John, get some t-bar clamps. I have a buddy with a GMC Typhoon only running 15psi and those hose clamps pop right off under lots of pressure

Setup looks sweet John!

You'd better get some ear plugs for that Weldon also

Another trick is to use a light coating of hair spray on the tubing connections before clamping them. Helps keep everything stuck together.

Yeah the T-bar clamps are on the list, just could not get them in a timely fashion and so far they are like $9 each from McMaster Carr, anyplace cheaper? I need like 8-10 of them.

Chris, I never answered your questions, maybe Znines knows the answers to your oil question.

Re: Pics of Griffin Race Intercooler + Custom Piping - ALL DONE!

Lookin' real nice there PSJ.

A couple questions though.

1. What are you going to do for an air filter? Is there room behind the blower for one?

2. Why is the MAF still on there? I thought it wouldn't be needed with the aftermarket computer?

3. Can Znines make up more of those alt. relocation brackets? How much $$?

Thanks
