Prep work took forever. The instructor helped with the amperage and pre fab. Cut at 45s so penetration was good. The inside of the pipe never so the tungsten torch.

 

Hmmm..they could show me but not print me out anything.

That's some welding **** right there. I can melt two things together but that's about it

 

Now the hard part. Piecing all this together

 

Now that you have to flanges, you're dry fitting with PVC right?

 

I am going to run one of the primaries(on each side) to where I want the T3 flange to sit. I will tack them to the collector so I know how to route my other 3 primaries.

THen I will mock all the chambers/primaries up with some 1-5/8 pvc to make sure it clears the control arm mount and steering shaft. Also have to clear the Coolant/Oil housing adapter unless I want to change to the low profile one with AN fittings.

 

Definitely switch to AN. The hot side will roast the rubber hoses. Switch to steel braided. Help reflect some of the heat

On a side note. Finally got the right heat range plugs and New WeaponX stg2 coils in.. The 97 is much snappier and much happier now. Next up will be TB work and cleaning the TB.

 

Made an inventory list for the swap. Kind of depressing

 

Man that brings back memories. My lists had lists lol

 

Haha no kidding. I think my list for fuel fittings and bunges and connectors span a couple of pages.

I'm just not as organized as Jared lol

 

I was hoping to do this over Christmas break but that is now looking like a long shot. The flip side of the page is the list categorized under Air, Fuel, or Cooling. Then there was sub-categories from there. However that method proved too depressing so I went with this
