Well I haven't been able to spend a ton of time on the car the last few weeks.. but I'm making some steady progress.
My Custom Drilled 17x9 Enkei RPF1s showed up. I ordered them though
FM Wheels and was very impressed with their service.
Originally 5x114.3, they drilled them to 5x110.
I bought 5 wheels. For anyone who tracks their car regularly, having a 5th wheel can save your weekend, its worth every penny.
I worked on re-installing the subframe and rear suspension.
I ran into the same problem everyone else has... getting the front solid transmission mount lined up didn't work out.
I'll probably just fight it in on final assembly.
Next I mocked up the intake. I'm still waiting for a air to water intercooler to become available.
I can't seem to find the larger
Type 10 Water to Air Intercooler in stock anywhere.
Is it normal for the coupling coming off the throttle body to be pinched like this?
From there I moved onto the Accusump and oil cooler mounting
Here is the general configuration I have planned for the plumbing
First up, I removed the factory water cooled unit and installed the ZZP Oil cooler adaptor plate
Next I installed the Accusump. I attached the right side of the Accusump to the vertical bar that was installed by DF. For the left side of the Accusump, I welded in a piece of 1/8 flat bar.
The cooler is a 30 row unit. I'm going to run it with a fan, and if that it no enough, I will build a scoop for it.
I'll be running an identical unit on the other side as the intercooler heat exchanger
I cut a few tabs and bolted them to the exchanger, then held it in place and welded the tabs to the frame.
I finally got all the miscellaneous fitting for the brake system and circled back to the pedals to get them finished up.
I still need to cut down the threaded rods on the master cylinders to get the pedals in the correct position.
Here is the current plumbing diagram. I really hate that there are soooooo many different types of connectors in the system.
And I am epically annoyed with the number of fittings it took to convert 3AN Female to M12 Inverted Female for the pressure sensors.
I expect to be chasing down leaks when I get the system charged up.
That's the bulk of the progress.
I'm also a bit confused on the coolant hoses. So if anyone has a good guide on the coolant hoses for the LNF I would to see it.
