Show us a front picture,with the hood closed, don't think, i have seen that inter cooler before, is must be new? Looks mean, i like it. That setup is better, than top mount?

The cooler is ZZP's new stage 2 heat exchanger. It's going into another car I'm building by no later than July.
The pic is just a teaser pic, teasing me more than anything.
I'm not sure what you mean by the top mount?

That will be sweet,i meant the cooler, that sits under the supercharger!!

Intercooler setups for our cars have a core that sits underneath the SC with coolant running through it that is cooled by the FMHE (Front Mounted Heat Exchanger) that Codith showed in his post.

I see, thanks.

Call me out on this but there is no way that FM would fit where it was in those pics. Am I wrong? The hood wouldn't shut. I'm almost convinced of it.

THat isn't where he would be putting it lol.. he just set it there.

got the fuel rails done finally
I'm going to organize the pictures and explain everything as best I can.
Rails are Aeromotive part# 14131. Regulator is Aeromotive part# 13109 I believe.
The rails themselves are AN-8 but basically we plumbed everything for AN-6 so the hose used is UltraFlex AN-6.








The rails came with 2 of these AN-6 banjo fittings - pretty cool - we used them on the crossover side. The hose ends for the crossover are a straight on the front rail and a 45 on the rear rail as you can see in the picture, to get better clearance from the blower.

top view of the same thing. The rails seem close to the alternator but there's no clearance issues.

shot of the hose routed under the nosedrive.

On the opposite side of the rails towards the back of the motor, we had to buy the port fittings to connect the hoses to because they are not supplied with the rails.

The hose end for the rear rail has a 90 and connects to the supply line from the tank. In the pictures, this hose is the one stainless braided hose as opposed to the black kevlar which the other 3 hoses all are.

The hose end for the front rail has a 45 and gets routed over the supercharger to connect all the way to the pressure regulator.


The hose ends that hook up to the regulator are straight and the port fittings are straight and a 90 for the return hose. (angle port fittings are cheaper than angle hose ends)


This is pretty cool. We cut off the ends of the hard supply & return line and fitted them with AN-6 tube adapters. Aside the fact that this was necessary due to my more custom than usual setup, this deletes all the factory plastic fuel hoses which is kinda nice. It's also all fully serviceable and essentially self-sealing. The adapter that's on the 3/8" supply line is a brand new product called SwageLok. It's a stainless compression-type fitting that's good for 1000psi. We used a regular adapter on the 5/16" return line because that will never see 50psi.

Overall, everything turned out great. The rails had some minor clearance issues at the back which required a touch of grinding on the blower. I don't know if this will be an issue on the gen V but either way, it's a f' up on Aeromotive's part. The rails are supposed to be good for all L67/L32. The other hiccup was that the MAP sensor bracket could not be mounted underneath the rails like it should be. The rails are in the way of the two ears. I used a couple 2" sleeves to raise the bracket up over the rails - no big deal. Once the intercooler is in, that won't be an issue anyway.

I also redid the vacuum lines to eliminate the need for the vacuum tree on the blower entirely so I won't have to do that later for the gen V. It's a lot neater now.

EDIT:

Adding a new pic taken with the top end apart so you can see the fuel rails and stuff unhindered

Nice work,me and my son will be doing that set up, to his Bonneville in the spring. Along with injectors and fuel pump. Looks sweet under hood too!!!

btw I'm trying to make them smaller without uploading and relinking all of them now...
I didn't really realize how big the pictures were.

dynomite turtleman! do you have the part #s for the swagelok and the compression fittings? and did you have any problem fitting the compression an fitting to our steel fuel line considering the fittings are made for aluminium? and whats the part # for the regulator? thanks. im gonna order this tonight!

Save a few bucks. Order from Lightning Motorsports:

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!
