This is what i am asking myself every ten minutes
Soo, pretty good progress today, started at 11am, just two short breaks, been at it till 1am
Hands are numb, feet are numb, pretty tired now, but it is *almost* done
Mounted the pump for the IC
Got the blower out and in again (after connecting the plug that was missing), got the belt installed, which was surprisingly easy even though i did it alone
IC cooling system tank installed
Radiator overflow tank installed and hooked up(i like this one much better than the white plastic one pictured in the manual)
This is the EVAP valve or purge valve, can anybody tell me wether the line i have connected to it in this picture is the right one?
I can't really remember what was on there when it was stock, now i am not sure.
The Stillen manual talks about connecting this valve to an outlet in the Plenum, but the valve has two outlets, maybe you are supposed to connect to the line pictured here and to the plenum?
No idea
Some pictures are missing, i had to remove the belt again, bend a water line some more, swear for a bit, install the radiator, drill some holes, swear some more, the usual stuff that happens at a shop
Neat and tidy, lots of zip ties used.
I tried to group them together to make it look more organised.
Installed the inlet side of things
Found myself struggeling with the vertical support beam infront of the radiator, it has an edge on it that cuts into the air filters, ended up beasting the thing until it stopped hurting the nice K&Ns
Needed to do a custom mount for the second horn (the Z comes with two tone horns in Europe)
Everything mounted up and connected, looks pretty good
This is the finished bay (the gold stuff is DEI heat reflective tape, should help with heat soak)
The moneyshot
So, whats missing is the oil cooler install, which should be pretty easy, since the bumper and inner fenders are removed anyways.
And there is one hose clamp that i couldn't get on tonight, i bailed after trying for about one and a half hours.. it's late anyways
So if anyone knows about that EVAP valve thingy, this is the one thing that will probably keep me up tonight..
Just a couple of hours more and it's time for the happy dance ->
