Agreed brownman...

I got my intake where you do Brandon, except my MAS is still under the hood, do you not have room to fit it in?

Looking good though, glad to see you are getting it done your self.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I have no concerns with it there. It was there all last year with no issues. If you're concerns are it getting wet, then feel comforted in knowing this car rarely sees rain. But even in rain, I'm still not concerned.
The plan is later on when V3 of DSMLink comes out, I want to switch to speed density so the MAS will be eliminated completely, and the filter will just be on the end of the pipe.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

LMAO V3, lol.

Thats cool then man, if you tested it out then no worries.
But for me i like being able to shorten the intake in the winter into the engine bay then in the SMIC location for summer.

There are a lot more BW setups coming out.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Exactly what I was worrying about. Are you going to protect it in any way at all? Maybe a plastic shield? Or some aluminum at least?

F it, it doesn't rain in Minnesota...

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I have had my filter out there for years and BR sells an intake like that too.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Get over it. If you don't like it, don't run one. Next topic.

Jet, get my exhaust done :) !!

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I just got my talon hauled over to my house yesterday. I should have yours over in a couple weeks. I am going to try and get all the tools moved downstairs this weekend, then I have to run some heavy duty wiring down for the welders. She'll be looking pretty when you get home, when are you coming back?

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I was talking about the MAS not the filter.

Anywho, B man said about a month. I can't wait to see your car in action B.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I'm thinking around May 1-7 anytime in that range, is when I'll be home. Let me know when you get started on her! Maybe I'll give you a ring from Spain here to make sure we both kind of know exactly what we want to do with it.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

I'm also now considering purchasing the smaller comp cover for my 362. I'm guessing it'll negatively affect performance a little bit, but for me I think it'll be a good compromise to help things fit a little bit better than they do with this larger cover. I haven't purchased it yet, but highly considering it. I don't think the smaller cover is neccessarily "small", I think it's still decently sized so I think it will still perform well. Anyone have any good input on this? I'm wondering if the smaller cover is still similar in size to say the cover that comes on FP's 35R's, but not sure.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Just found out that to use the smaller cover, I'd have to send the turbo in to get the backplate machined down a little, so I will be sticking with the big cover.

Also just talked with Jim at JMF about making me a custom dual chambered catch can that should help save on space a little, and look nice and clean like everything he makes does. Attached is a real rough drawing of it to give a basic idea. Also since I seem to have no time anymore and really need to get this thing running, I ditched my SMIM manifold project and just purchased a new Race SMIM from him as well. I still plan on building my manifold for fun, but who knows when it'll get done.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Sweet.

A question for you, with the inlet so low, what will happen once the fluid level becomes higher than that, won't it start to backup the tube?(depending the tube level of course)

Just something to think about maybe.

Hit me up when you get back i get done with school in 2 weeks then we party like rockstars.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Good thought. They should be placing the inlets about half way up actually, and the outlets towards the top. I'll just have to make sure I regularly drain it.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Sweet.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Do you know what the price would be on that catch can Brandon? I could possibily be interested in getting one as well.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Same here. I'm thinking group buy.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Price I was quoted was $125 plus shipping. With combined shipping, I would be willing to suck up the shipping costs since I'm already buying a SMIM from him as well making the shipment a bit bulkier. So we'll just say a flat $125. If you are interested, see the thread I started:

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

will they take just rubber hose or an fittings

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Mine will just use rubber hosing and barbed fittings, but he can do AN as well.

Here's a quick idea of how mine will be setup.

Re: My Winter Upgrades
 

Damn, I might be interested in one of those as well. I guess I'll have to see how my bank account looks.
