It fit!


I mounted one of the fuse blocks facing downward so I have a 50-50 chance of easy access to a blown fuse.

This kit keeps stock radiator? And I wonder how hard it will be to keep temps down with the a/c condensor. Kit looks like it's going together great though!

Yep! Shouldn't be any issues keeping cool, a pair of the Derale 16925 fans really move the air!

Thanks!

Miles? The odometer says 2800 miles. Actually, I just installed a cluster with 90 miles on it this past Spring. I bought the car last year and went through every nut and bolt on it. It was an original 3.8 car seized with about 160k miles on it.

X2 There, I thought most fans were pushers.

You need pusher fans to free up space on the other side of the radiator for the turbo to fit! the derale 16925s are bad to the bone pushers and won't have any issues keeping stuff cool!

Thanks guys!


Mounted trans cooler and had to do a little re-forming of the washer bottle. A lot of other minor stuff was cleaned up today also.

Cool to see you used the Intercooler Brackets to mount the trans cooler as well. I did the same thing on my car!

Not yet as we are still in the first stages for fitment and such!

Once we get it nailed down and confirmed we will release pictures, information, pricing, availability, etc!

Enjoy pulling that turbo off and repacking it with grease ever how many miles you gotta do that.

Great piping layout... the tight radius silicon couplers are unfortunate....

This question is for Huron Speed....

Could you not fit/find an intercooler with a better end tank design? The distribution across the core is HORRIBLE on that thing. 70% of the air goes through the bottom 60% percent of the cooler
