z284pwr Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Wow 29" huh, that is going to be a tight squeeze. The one I have is ~30" and it doesn't have a prayer of fitting easily... This will be interesting though Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futuretgper Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 hey did you have custom bends made up or did you mix and match with universal bends? have you run it yet? and are you at all worried about overheating?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z284pwr Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 hey did you have custom bends made up or did you mix and match with universal bends? have you run it yet? and are you at all worried about overheating?? I don't think overheating would be TOO much of a problem, as long as the car is moving down the road these cars stay pretty cool. I have a 160* TS and it will only get above 210 during heavy stop/go traffic at 90+ weather. Even at that if I turn the heater on with cool setting it drops the temps pretty fast right about down to about 170-180. Driving on the freeway even in 100+ temps, its barely getting 160-170. My engine is far from stock to and puts out quite the high EGTs too which doesn't help the cooling. Besides, having no A/C its just like the Intercooler is the A/C condensor now, just thicker. Definitely looks good install though I see you put on exhaust wrap as well. You should have put on an EGT gauge while it was apart. I'm still curious to see what others with these engines get for EGTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
