Also, what expansion tank are you using there on the left side of the engine bay?



It is a C4 Corvette surge tank. I got the idea from someone on the forum. Hell, most of my ideas are from someone on the forum. If it looks good and you shared it with the world then I'm borrowing it...lol

BTW, No EGR wiring so I had to go another route.

Thats the way it should be. We all should share information. Whats the point of posting about something and keeping the details secret, other than to rub it everyone's face? That's my opinion. As for my old intake for the turbo 3800. It would be easy to recreate and you wouldnt have to make an exact copy. However, the T/B & LIM kinda dictate the overall design. John at Intense Racing and I have chatted about this very subject at length. We shared designs that we drew up for custom intake that would replace the LIM and UIM and include a heat exchanger for W2A intercooling. Whats funny is our designs were nearly identical! Now that I am at the shop I can actually make this happen. Dave and Antonio take my ideas seriously and they can fabricate/manufacture all sorts of cool things. You should see the intake they made for this customers 280z turbo. Its incredible. Anyway, if you ever need more pics of that custom UIM I had, just let me know. Just start with a supercharger to LIM gasket and N* TB adapter plate and make your own!

p.s. thanks for the info on the surge tank. I am looking for a better tank for my W2A reservoir.

Installed a hood release thingie for the deckild. Gracefully stole from FieroGuru.



Tried on my spoiler to insure hood release will hold up under the added weight. BTW, do I need to use SMC to permanently install it? The screws are not long enough for me to bolt it down.

I'd get longer bolts, is that not workable?

I don't think the existing bolts are removable to put longer ones in.

Inspiration: Not mine but I likie. I don't have the Aero package on mine but that could change if I don't like how my coup turns out.

Looks and sounds great man congrats on the successful startup. What is that app on your phone and how does it hook to the system? That wing is looking sweet.

The app is torque and it connects via Bluetooth from the OBDII wireless adapter.
I also have the PLX MultiGauge app that I was simultaneously running on my other phone.
However, that was the phone I was using for the video so I couldn't show it.

I'm running a temporary restrictive exhaust now to quiet it up some so I can run it at home without causing an earthquake but have a real exhaust system waiting to get built.
