I've been contemplating air/air intercooling because I want boost really badly and at this point, the price difference is attractive. I already have a CXRacing I/C pipe kit...I was looking at the piping I would need and the one kit is almost enough. I think I need just a couple more 90* and 45* couplers and maybe a 45* or 75* pipe. At this point I just really want boost. Going with air/air would chop off about $200 from my build cost. CXRacing I/C is $120. 28x8x3.5. This should fit with maybe a little cutting of the crash bar, correct? Or should I stick with 28x7x2.5?

Went with a shorter height core 'cause I don't want to cut my crash bar. I'm going for ease of install at this point.

Installing J&S and BAP today. What should I run the BAP at?

bmylez · 11-14-2009, 05:28 PM

BAP installed. Car runs, so it appears that my electrical engineering degree paid off

. I have it set right in the middle and didn't see any difference in how the car ran. Any suggestions where to run it?

bmylez · 11-15-2009, 10:10 AM

Awesome...clutch master cylinder started leaking last night...ordered a new one already, *sigh*...

bmylez · 11-21-2009, 01:00 PM

Anyone care about my build anymore? lol

First off, changing the master cylinder was a b_tch!!! Glad that is done. If I have to do it again, I'll be able to do it so much faster, hah.

Got my I/C a couple days ago. Gonna go to Home Depot and buy some mounting materials. Got the J&S installed and just from sitting at idle, I'm pretty sure it works. Set at full sensitivity, when I rev it up, I get some activity.

Last things on my list are oil pan and dipstick. Might need a few more I/C pipes and couplers but we'll see.

Still watching this man, waiting to see your progress. Goodluck.

bmylez · 11-22-2009, 06:34 PM

To all the people who "hate pin 57"....that was cake compared to other things I have installed. The black splicers that they send make it a snap. A good tip I heard from someone is to use pin 71 for switched power. I have all the switches set DOWN.

So that means: 10* of retard, retard individual, 4 cyl, and 2* of switched retard. Anyone else running something different? I believe John told me to do individual cyl.

bmylez · 11-22-2009, 06:46 PM

Got the I/C mostly installed. My damn cheap drill runs out of juice so quickly. Just have one more hole to drill.
Here is a pic missing one bracket:

Also, here are some pics of my initial I/C pipe mock-up. Wanted an opinion on stuff before I start hacking pipes up and ordering unnecessary couplers.

Should I not be routing it under the radiator support? Also, is the BOV in a weird spot? I'm thinking the MAF tube should fit nicely in the space that's left. Looks like a 90* coupler can connect a straight pipe to the throttle body?

looks good man, can't wait to see more
