Well, It runs!
I've just about finished everything also. I am in the process of moving so I had to pack all my junk up and throw FourBanger on a trailer and tow it to a warehouse down south. So I'll be without FourBanger til Aug 15th. That's when I take my final test for Cisco 4 and graduate with my second degree! yay me!

These pics were taken in the middle of the day and damn was it hot! That's why they look like an atomic bomb just went off. I got a slight case of heat exhaustion but I got her running. Everything is in place and she purrs like a kitten. It's only on 9 pounds of boost now though (for testing purposes). It is just as fast now with 9 pounds of boost as it was with 15. So I can't wait to turn the boost back to 15!
The car is an absolute blast to drive now. Did I mention all the gauges work? hehe. She stays at 180 all day long. I know this because I drove it all day long. LOL Man I love this car! The Intercooler works beyond my expectations. It stays ICE Cold! Only by the passenger side upper does it get warm. Everything else on it is cold to the touch. I don't have the Bypass valve hooked up to work yet though. I have to custom make an inlet tube to the mouth of the turbo so I can dump the bypass air into it, but that will be made no problem once I get back home.
One thing I'd like to mention about Gainesville, This place is the friggin' Bermuda Triangle when it comes to working on your car! I had to pay some "buba" 10 bucks to drill a hole in some aluminum! I can't wait to get back home! This project would've been done a year ago if I had lived at home and had help from everyone there.

Well, back to the story. I used radiator hose for my boost pipe. The hose is Gates and is 2 7/8 inner diameter. They say it is good for 35 psi. I believe them also. Double reinforced wall and an outer webbing make it one tough hose. The radiator is for a '66 Mustang. I bought it new from Pepboys for 140 bucks. (OUCH) Oh well, It was the ONLY radiator that would fit between the boost pipes and it is a 3 core with a lifetime warranty. Guess I'll never have to buy another one of those things. (now where's that damn receipt?) LOL
 

The upper radiator hose needs to be shortened. I have the perfect solution for that though. A razor blade and some exhaust pipe will do it.
 

Well, the stock hood isn't gona fit anymore. hehe. Oh well. I have bought a hood for her that will.

I tried to fix the other cowl hood only to mess it up even more. It's really hard to do glasswork when all you have is a rubber block sander.

Here's my new hood. It is a bolt on and isn't CRACKED! Which is always a plus. I bought it at a Fun Ford event held at the Gator National track here in Gainesville. I got it for an awesome price which is why I decided to buy it. Hell, you should know me well enough by now to know that I'd settle for a hole cut in my hood rather than buying a $350 dollar hood. So you know I got a good price on it. hehe.
This hood is made extremely strong! It is made by Cincinnati Composites. I highly recomend their work since this is the best quality I've seen in fiberglass hoods. EDIT: After I wrote this statement about Cincinnati Composites, I found out that it couldn't be further from the truth. The hood didn't fit good at all. The stock hood fit perfect with a perfect gap. When I put this new glass hood on, it fit like total garbage. If you are in need of a hood and want quality, you should buy a Cervini hood and call it done.

Ahh, here you look at my most recent purchase. I've been running on some ancient GoodYear 225/60/15's for a year now. Time for some new meats out back! These are Pepboys GLH tires. They cost 59 bucks a piece and are very soft. I've finally put them on the rear and there is one hell of a difference! They Bark so loud! They smoke from just a couple revolutions of the wheel too. LOL very soft. I haven't put my posi in yet. I know, damn I'm a slacker! I'll work on that once I get down home.

Stay tuned! I'll have some better pics of my new setup in a few weeks. Moving sucks!
