Well a while back I posted pics of my RC clip I figured; I would post some update pictures. I will get my harness back thursday or friday. The engine is going in this weekend. I was pretty dissapointed my SS tubular manifold doesnt fit with the water to air intercooler as you can see in the last pic I will have to put the stock one back on. Wish me luck guys, hopfully it will be running this weekend. Here are the pics.

I'm sorry to hear that the manifold didnt fit. I'm also getting an rc clip, you just saved me a headache.
That downpipe is so much better than stock Looking good, bet you cant wait to hit 16 PSI. What type of clutch you running ? DEF This post has been edited by defgeph: Apr 4, 2005 - 11:41 PM --------------------  I will return one day. |

Water to air intercooler is much better than a front mount and is definately worth having over the manifold. Its too bad they both look so good.

for the piping gap, couldn't you just use like a rubber hose or something along that line?

there is bound to be a way to make it fit. Mod what you have to, it can fit... well. I think=not having looked at it in person.

these top mounts are a tight fit as is. youll have to connect the throttle body back up and see what can be done with the room left.
