It's not working yet. Hopefully it will be ready for Cars and Coffe Saturday at the DuPont Registry headquarters.

Don't they!? They are 3". Previous intake pipers were 2.75"/2.5". I we have time, the intake pipes will be powdercoated black.

I'll be going over there today to install the radiator and hopefully pinpoint where the PS leak is coming from. I already know it's coming from one hose, but it looks like there may be multiple leaks now. I just check the PS fluid everyday and add to it accordingly. It's been leaking since the PS pump was replaced.

I'm thinking about it. I'm interviewing for a new job and they said they'd give me an offer by early next week. I'm pretty much going to take it even if it's the base salary because the future opportunities are huge, where as I can't go anywhere at my job and the pay is horrible! So pending the job transition...

I'll be at Sebring for the Chin Motorsports event on Saturday at Sebring. I'll just be spectating though. If I'm not too exhausted, I'll stop by S&R on the way home. You should come down Friday night and come to Cars and Coffee Saturday morning.

Good luck with the interview and the new job Ryan

It's so "cute"

New 3" equal length, equal size piping...the way it should have been from the start!

The intercooler is SO much smaller than the Precision intercooler I had on, so we held off on installing the CSF radiator. I want to see how my coolant temps are now that there will be much more air getting through to the radiator. Good thing is if they aren't any better, I have the radiator sitting in my garage. If they get better, I'll have a brand new CSF radiator up for sale.

The stock MAFs are fine...but Lutz bridged the MAF signals in hopes it would fix their horrible intake piping design. So I believe it's an easy fix to put the wiring back to OEM

I had already planned on it. I'm hoping I can come down next weekend...we will see. The car is still sitting in my friend's garage since it won't idle due to the bigger piping. I'm still trying to get my hands on an UpRev cable so I can remap it.

SPOHN · 08-19-2011, 06:53 PM

I really like how that looks. I know you'll be so happy now. Waiting for retune.

esfourteen · 08-19-2011, 08:55 PM

looks awesome ryan, much better!

Armonster · 08-19-2011, 10:12 PM

Man that is one MEAN looking engine bay.

DIGItonium · 08-20-2011, 12:40 AM

Your current design is very refined and clean! Hope all goes well for you... must have videos!

christian370z · 08-20-2011, 01:41 AM

Those massive intakes look gnarly! I second the motion for copious video recording once the Z is fighting fit.
