Vortech YSi Installation Hey everybody,
At CRT we are currently working on a 98 Trans AM with a Texas Speed 408 Stroker. Later there are plans to install a YSi blower onto this motor but after seeing the motor crammed into the engine compartment we can foresee many issues that we would like to take care of now in preparations of the blower. The biggest problem is just space, with the radiator in the car the way it is there is almost no room between the throttle body and core support. If anyone could post up some pics or know of products to help with radiator relocation or pics of people who have installed a blower with a front mount intercooler to give us some ideas that would be great. The throttle body is the FAST Big Mouth 102mm so coming up with piping thats as close to 4" in diamter as possible and clear a stock hood is hard to come by. I saw other posts related to the radiator relocation, burkhart chassis sells a front mount piece to use a small large core radiator, id like to know if anyone has used this piece and knows how well it mounts. Any help would be great, Thanks.
