How tall is that IC? Cutting the front bumper? Turbo-A duct?

Is the IC stable with the mounting like that? Do you just have the top secured or what else?

hmmm good idea indead...the IC is 12" tall, its very secure, the brackets hold it up and the support keep it firm.

so brent, i would need 2 gauges then?

well emp.. if you considered the ZT-2 as your wideband then you could just purchase 2 probes.. datalog one of the probes as the "EGT" input.. and use "user input" which is like a custom input for the other EGT probe. I'm sure there are other options such as 2 gauges, but this just an idea. That way you could log both without 2 gauges using a laptop computer.

ok an update...
got some bad news and some good news...the good is that the car started without anyone real leaks, only PS leak because i took the resevior off so i can finnish draining it. Everything sounds good, except for...

Badnews...i need a new intake manifold gasket. i used the old one out of desperation and added RTV. i know i know it was stupid of me.

also the FFIM is acting like a diaphram because of vaccuum, when throttle is opened it expands slightly...when idling, its sucked in a bit. Doesnt look to serious so i will continue using it until it blows up. Also MDC was the person who build it for me.

here are some short quick videos...

its actually not too bad, everything seems like its holding, welds are fine. i test drove it...revved it high to make sure, and nuthing seemed to be wrong except for the vacuum leak cause by the gasket.

i'll get it running right and see how it goes.

Emp: You've been a good guinea pig, but the thin wall manifold just isn't what I thought she would do. Looks like I'll have to go thicker.

And yes I built that manifold and yes empera was a guinea pig and yes I build it out of some serious THIN sh!t.
