That is one bad a$$ setup! Are you the only one with the syclone swap?

Good stuff

Feel free to just pack up all the goodies that are removed and ship them to KY!

I am curious what your upgrades are going to be.

hey vortec i thought you were on this board

update
when I relocated the turbo I knew the range shifter cable bracket that
also holds the clutch slave cylinder was going to have to be massaged
I cut horizontaly then met that cut with a vertical one efectivly making
a 90* slice. I moved the cable portion back about an inch and lowered it
about a 1/4 then rotated it clockwise a few degrees. I drilled and tapped
for a 3/8 bolt to lock it in place for mocking up. My welder guy told me
cast aluminum is a ***** to weld with out warpage and pores opening up
and made some suggestions about V grooving it for a better result.

the first few shots are "as is from the welder" the installed pics are after
I filed and sanded it a little.

got some more work done on the exhaust today

redid the exhaust to a dual system
3 inch down pipe to a Magnaflow Camero style universal fit muffler
then 2.5 in pipes to the tips which came with the car. Im not real
big on the tips but they seem to look ok on the car

Thats the frozenboost straight flow intercooler.

I ordered one of those for my car, but they never shipped it to me.. I pulled my credit card payment.

...... wtf... what dose this BEAST run?

you are correct lol
i have made about 6 purchases from them...
one went astray but they jumped on it fast and shipped out another the next day
i generally get their stuff within 5 bus days... they answer questions same day and have great customer service

I dealt with their crap for 4 weeks, saying that it was MY FAULT that I never got my intercooler.. I suggested they send another one out asap... but they never did, then I got a $70 refund (as you know the IC is about $200 shipped) from them about 8 weeks after the original order date. But the joke is on them, as I pulled my credit card payment around the same time they put in the refund. I started the credit card pull at about 5 weeks, and it kicked right around the time they gave me a partial refund.

Would have MADE them a ton more money if they would have just sent out another intercooler... It would have been a huge win-win situation for both of us, but, I ended up making money on the deal, and they lost all their profit and then some. They also LOVED to complain about the fact that I was wasting their time by asking where my product was. I then turned around and got the $65 shipped ebay special... and now with my bigger turbo I plan on getting another ebay special and running them in series.

I will never buy a major part from them ever again, but I imagine I will still buy my silicone connectors from them, due to the availability and price. Strange that you were able to get a lost order resolved in days... and it took me 2+ months. Cost me 2 months of running my car, although it was in some fairly non-prime racing season time.

maybe i just got lucky or a diff person handled my issue.
im glad you came out ahead even though you had to mess around for a while

I personally think that 2 of the ebay coolers is going to be better in the end than the 1 smaller FB intercooler... and cheaper.

could be..
i had a space problem and this one fits perfectly... its larger of the 2 straight flow coolers
3" in/out and bigger over all.. i have an ebay intercooler as well i gotta get rid of

intercooler mods done


before mods


the height of any fittings going on top
would interfer with the deck lid so I had
these side exit pcs made up and welded on


another view


thottle body adapter welded on to the other end


yup thats 3" lol


ready to install

Looks good!!! Can't wait to hear how this thing runs once its all plumbed and running. The IC should make a big difference.

As a small tip, you might want to clean those exhaust pipes at the joint before welding them. I usually use a small sanding disc on a 90* air tool. You'll end up with a much better weld joint and it will be easier to do. Great job with the aluminum, however.
