Default Finally got the air back on the car. with PICS!!

Well last night we finally finished the air conditioning on my car. We relocated the accumulator to the front of the car, and made longer lines. everything pressure tested good, just need a couple new o-ring gaskets and a charge and it will be done. I am VERY happy with the way everything is coming together and as always thanks Blake.

Here are the pics, the first is just a full shot of the kit before the air lines were put on

Looks good. I have togive you credit for fining a way to retain the A/C on forward swept headers. Only thing I see as a PITA is the plug access. Now just turn the boost up a bit and watch the smile grow.

That setup looks great. Kudos to keeping the A.C.. We need to start an A.C. boosted list. Who says you can't have it all?

NICE SETUP! Glad you were able to keep the a/c. I also like your I/C setup. Seems you were able to package it as to not hack up the front end of the car, or tear out the license plate frame.

Do you have any more pics of the charge cooling side?

Mighty Mouse, Fuse boxes where relocated to the lower side of the inner fender with new brackets, and relocating a few harnesses.

Mike, by charge cooling side do you mean the high pressure side of the system?

Jason has many more pics of the setup ill let him post if he wants.

Nice work. Can't wait to see it again this fall at the Springfield show. Maybe we'll get you to put it on the dyno this time.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Means alot. Myself and Blake have worked our ***'s off on this car with many MANY 5:00 mornings. Here are a few more pics of misc. stuff on the car.

Mighty Mouse - No pics of the fuse boxes yet. I should have snapped a couple last night but didn't even think of it till i read your post

Mike - The only thing that had to be cut was part of the bumper support. That is kinda the whole idea behind the kit was i wanted to keep the fog lights and AC. ABS was the only thing deleted (other than emissions) and that could have been kept but i didn't want it anyway.

I will be more inclined to next year now that the thing is tuned on the dyno

wow, i love the way you mounted the intercooler....
i'm doing the exact same thing this winter and i've been looking at finding an intercooler that i can just cut out the front license plate holder (i'd like to keep my fog lamps), but man, that's even better.... is it going to be as efficient there as a traditional FMIC woudl be?
