I am sure you have already thought about it but the condenser will need ALOT of air going across it and I don't think the two fans you have in front of it will pull enough air to keep you from over presuring the A/C system unless you are moving possibly, just something to watch out for etc... But with that said it looks awesome. I see you lost your front swaybar, is that due to the turbo kit or just for drag racing etc...?

I"m probably gonna put a barrier between the condensor and the fans... This would be almost identical to the factory arrangement.

I did lose the sway bar, no way to keep it with this kit.

MORE PICS!!!!

Power Steering cooler, high pressure connection

AC line extension and how we routed it.

Alcohol injection solenoid mount

Our labor department. It's hard to find sober workers these days!!


Utter Destruction

Custom power steering lines


Before mock-up

More destruction


Believe it or not, Every bolt turned was in this carport as you see here.

Just some mock up pics


This is where we plan on putting that barrier so we don't pull the heat from the condensor

Buttoning it up

I love the v-band clamps on the crossover. I will be doing that next time that I have to take mine apart. Why the small section of coupler in the charge pipe right before the TB?

The reason for the coupler is because i could find a luminum bung for my AIT sensor. I had to weld a bung in for my AIT sensor... (I used a threaded sensor), the only bung I could find was steel, the rest of my plumbing is aluminum

Just a tip here, but you could have took a 1/8-3/8 thick peice of aluminum and welded it to the pipe, and then tapped it for the sensor.

That's what we ended up doing.
I believe the reason for the extra pipe was because the kit was made for a fast intake and we ended up going vic jr. We needed an extra 6" of pipe.
