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!

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** · 10-22-2010, 07:05 PM

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** · 10-22-2010, 07:15 PM

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.
