Sucks about your tire being flat. Always sucks heading out to your car to go somewhere and not being able to.

#235697 Damn looking good, my dude!!!

I think you should paint the intercooler black and really go for a stealth look - it would add more character to the car that way. i dunno - my opinion.

#235799 You can paint the intercooler black, However I dont think its nessecary. Behind the webbing its pretty hidden. This car is turning out Sick. I hope you get your injectors before tune day.

yeah thanks, i guess it has been quite a bit of progress in a short time.. i have been out there in the shop for 2-3 weeks straight now, almost ready to be done with it :lol:



so Before i went to the dyno on my way to work, my header wrap kinda burnt itself:

Image

what can i do about getting the lines further away from the manifold? i look at other peoples setups with AC and it's never really an issue cause their further away? must be that the z6 sits differently in the EK shell.....


went to the dyno on monday, swapped my injectors in the parking lot and got some cool JDM obd2-obd1 injector clips from PWJDM (had in stock)
Image

here are the dyno numbers, pretty much the same as last time, new injectors though, so i'm not hitting 100% duty cycle :TU:
Image

i like the way the car drove, but i want more...clutch was holding me back so i didn't even decide to up the boost right now. plus we found a coolant leak that only developed under pressure and i didn't want to risk that blowing.
