my year isnt specified? do the 95s share the same mounting tabs as the series 2?

Check injector spacing, too - may be different on '95.

man you guys are holding out on the good stuff! whats the spacing on the series 2?

and keeping in mind that the injectors are in the heads for series 2, and in the LIM for series one.

i see that now. amazing how excitment gives way disapointment. im pretty sure the hoses and fitting fit. the series 1 has both,5/16 and 3/8 feed and return lines. looks like all i can do is replace the oem plastic fuel lines with an type. thats a start....

I am allways amazed at your skills AA. My spacing is for the front facing, 58mm 1st to 2nd inj. 69mm from 2nd inj. to 3rd. damn.

what I'm working on for this car now
I don't have the blower here right now to do any work on it so I figured I'd work on this in my down time. This intake literally has my blood on it now. lol





one side basically done
the side I didn't do yet is how I got it - it already had lots of work done but not terribly pretty and the runners were still a bit rough IMO.
decent number of hours in this thing... On my end probably about 3 movies worth easily

that's really beautiful . i did mine too though not as thorough. the price of the burrs and sanding cones comes to a small fortune IMO.

Very nice man, looks like art to me.

I'd hit it.

I wonder how much it would be to have some LIM extrude honed?

next season is going to be FUN!

Somewhere, off in the distant future, I can hear a POOF

Jk man. That should be real fun.

So far, just got the bottle put somewhere at least temporarily and the NMU is mounted and connected to the bottle.



NMU is mounted via brackets over the master cylinder.

nothing overly fancy but effective and clean

I know I'm going to catch shit for this but that's how it's gonna be for now.

drilled and tapped the new TB adapter (won't be used until the IC & genV go on - right now I'm going to have to use the stupid bulkhead fitting on the intake pipe)

I had to take the TB off my car so I could fit it and make sure the butterfly wasn't going to hit the nozzle before I drilled it.

Good to go!

The wiring won't be completed until I can get the steering wheel I need and some other things but I'll set it up for some test runs. Sorry these pictures kinda suck. They don't look that bad on the phone but man when you get them on a 1080 computer screen - woof. Plus I have no idea why they are still 1600x1200, I changed them to 800x600 on photobucket and they still show up huge here...

subtlety is an acquired taste turtle...

that cars gonna move!

Well, at least you found a use for the center-rear seatbelts... I took mine out a long time ago.

You knew you'd get shit for it, so I'm taking the first squat. I you got into a wreck, that bottle could fly forward and kill you or somebody else. For that reason, I think it sucks. Why not install it with brackets in the trunk, and have the armrest pull down for access?

He did say, "for now"... it's not permanent.
However, you do raise a good point - how about just wrapping it in a blanket for now, put it on the RR floorboard and run the
passenger seat all the way back, so it can't go anywhere in case of impact?

I really just haven't exactly decided what to do with it yet. It's decently secure. It would take nothing short of a massive collision to make it go anywhere. It sits really snug in the armrest cavity and the seatbelt is tight. Also the line is sort of a backup.
The advantage to this location is you can reach the valve from the drivers seat. There isn't really any other place this could go where that can happen. I have no intention of buying a remote valve opener.

What's the advantage to reaching it from the drivers seat?
