    Made by the same guy that welded kaisers old exhaust????

    This is why I bought pre-built. 

    I have sausage fingers and would likely end up with something like that.

            also, I just about finished the design of the surge tank, just not sure how many litres I need. The two pumps will be partially submerged, such as this

            also, My brother is back, and the m20 is getting worked on!

              SO. I got fucked on the injectors also, turned out they are 22lb python injectors........ Anyways, Anyone have decently affordable injectors for e85 and 1000whp? If you didn't notice I'm overbuilding my fuel system.

                    Yea I think I might have to do staged injection for cost purposes. Good injectors that idle well at well into the 1000$ range. I'm thinking I'm just gonna buy the injectors I thought I had (Seimens deka 80lbers) which will be fine for the stock dme for now and e85.

                        So I made an oil line. You guys will love it. Used 1/4" brake line (3/16" Id which is what my turbo calls for.) and a couple adapters. Also. My charge piping consists of a 90* bend and 16" straight. I enjoy throttle response :)

                            Oil line installed. Intercooler will be here before Friday.

                            Anyone have good ideas on about 1" ID radiator hose? Or aluminum hard line.

                              This is looking great, is there a reason stock radiator hoses won't work?

                                Because the radiator will be in the rear of the car, if I used the same size hose, I would have a HUGE cooling capacity. I can't really get a definite answer on what size I should use, So I just based it off what dsm guys used (3/4) and added a little extra for the extra 2 cylinders :) 

                                I'M CLUELESS ON COOLING SYSTEM. Not really though, just need some guidance.

                                  Made a little progress. My stupid intercooler has to be picked up in Oshkosh....

                                  Anyways.

                                  4ehe9uve.jpg

                                  BAM. They sit in there with a slight interference fit. Those are viton o rings. I will get the thing anodized for methanol and such.

                                  Looks neat eh? I'll build a backing plate tomorrow. Too hungry right now :)

                                    Missed the part about the rear mounted radiator, not sure where to get them but aluminum hard lines would seem great, are they going through the inside of the car?  Stock WP?  It might be worth upgrading to the stewart one for pushing coolant that far.  I have one, it's fast!

                                      Honestly not sure yet. I know for a fact I will have an electric water pump as well, but I'm not sure if I'm going to delete the stock WP and tstat just yet..

                                      And I'm building this car to FD spec so I think I have to run them outside of the cabin.. I'm going to look for aluminum hard line now!
