No foam, no issues.
I welded in a 4 ft piece of 1/8 inch angle iron across the inside of the crashbar just for piece of mind. More or less to protect the radiator in the event of a minor front end crash. You can kind of see it behind the intercooler. That is what that intercooler mounting tabs are welded too.
WOW... That IC is HUGE...So you have already put the bumper cover back on it and everything fits? no distortion issues at high speeds?
You can PM me if you want so we do clutter up the OPs thread.
Lots of bad *** turbo cars being built now days...
Got the meth pump mounted. Going to use my washer fluid tank for meth.
So as stated earlier my passenger side Spal fan was hitting my wastegate horribly... as in it wouldn't even get past it. So I ordered this mishimoto 12" slim to replace it. I had to drill the rivets out, remove the spal fan, then installed the mishimoto directly to the radiator. I then cut a 1/4" fuel hose and installed it along the edge to create a seal so that the shroud doesn't lose its effectiveness.
I know its not as good as the spal but it should work ok and now everything is happy.
Thanks guys, well wasn't able to get tuned yesterday. My damn torque tube is seized up... wtf?!?!?! Got another one so the tune will be in a couple of weeks.
First drive on the base tune. Couldn't get a full tune bc I have a bad o2 sensor on the drivers side. Also, my new tires(bias ply) were not working on the dyno and hitting my fenders so I ordered some MT drag radials to remedy that.
Vid below: just a little drive in car and out of car. She sounds amazing!
Ok so got it tuned yesterday... honestly disappointed tho. The car DID NOT like 91 pump gas... even with a little meth. It made decent power but wouldn't take anymore boost or timing due to detonation. Tuner said my CR is too high for pump gas.
Made 627whp and 587 tq... going back in a few weeks for an e85 tune.
