Ongoing Project:

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/jaemess/7G-evo61.jpg

whole project took 9 days from old engine pull down to initial firing of the evo engine, day 10 for the test runs. thankfully no major issues or birth pains experienced. took it out for a long drive (approx 110kms) for the initial break in, all good. steady temp, no vibrations, and no issues. happily boosting at 8psi.

next project:
new paintjob
full coils
aluminum rad


thanks tgc!

[Reelax]

[Galanttuner10]

[jaemess]

what thickness is that intercooler and did you have to trim your bumper at all to make it fit?

looks great man

thanks man. yup, we did some minor trims on the diamond ed bumper to fit the intercooler, thickness of the IC is 2-3inches. ill have to doublecheck and let you know. :grin:

[dGALANTc]

shyt i thought you were new here looks great man both cars. yes even the one cut in half.

[jaemess]

thanks guys. will post updated pics as soon as the other mods are done.

@ Galanttuner10: just doublechecked the IC thickness: 2.5inches.

thanks TGC!

[Galanttuner10]

car looks great man and i my core is 3 inches thick. i wont hassle you to find out how tall or wide it is but mine is like 27x12x3

[Galanttuner10]

also who fabbed up your intercooler piping as that is the best way ive seen so we still have space for an oil cooler

[jaemess]

thanks man. IC dimension is 23x9x2.5. my installer has a guy he uses for fabbing pipes and stufff -- and he is a master! lol

btw, oil cooler i used came from the evo3 aswell.
