[TkrPerformance]

thanks mike I can bolt them all on now

brandon just let me know what it is I will get you some cash. I will stop by to get the rail some time this week

[Halon]

Sounds good man.

[TkrPerformance]

thanks to mike he finnished a set of spacers for me they are also 1/2 thick. so no the brembo can be bolted on with a full bracket now

[rose0529]

Sorry i only got you one... i forgot about a second set!!... looks good though!

[TkrPerformance]

that is ok I still have to clean the fronts sand them and paint them blue

got more done today on the car with the help of my dad Ken. We got the water bottle mounted after cutting a big hole in the sheet metal to the top of it so it can be filled easy. Got the boost pressure switch installed and set to 20psi to come on and stay on till 27psi. Had to take off the front bumper to get the 2 oem evo III water sprayers in. Als fixed the front bumper with some alum rivits to hold it were it has to be. The bumper did not have the tabs on it when I got it and has been lose sense it went on the car. last thing we did was take out the amp rack and put in the rear cusco tower bar.

water jets

hose routing w/pressure-vol nipple

were the hole was cut right by the P.S. resvore

the bottom were the evo abs was to start with that never went into my car(pic before brackets were made)

with the bumper back on

were the bumper was reatached

cusco rear tower bar that sits behind the amp rack

Sweet. Is the boost pressure switch independant from other systems?

[TkrPerformance]

it is seprate

do the water jets spray the IC to drop the temperature of it? sorry, noob question!

Yes, water evaporating helps to dissipate the heat. The charged air can only be cooled to atmospheric temp so the water sprayers are only useful if the intercooler is unable to fully cool the charge by itself.

[polishmafia]

ah ok, next noob question.

why would an IC not be able to cool the air enough (down to the temperature of the air outside)? would the IC not be big enough - not letting the air spend enough time inside it to cool down?

[asshanson]

High boost and multiple runs gets everything pretty hot and water would help then. A bigger intercooler would help too but I think you're pretty limited on space right Mark?

[Matt D.]

With my big intercooler it still gets hot to the touch on the hot side and a few inches in on the core after only a few 40-70 second autocross runs. I can only imagine what it would be like if the core was smaller. I haven't yet felt the need to spray it after a run because the IC piping and intake manifold are still able to be touched.

Shoulda done an aquamist alky injection instead More effective than this sillyness

[TkrPerformance]

with out moving a ton of stuff I can put anything bigger on for a fmic.

no alky for the car. It will be on e-85 when v3 link comes out for evo 1-3.

[TkrPerformance]

got the big alen head bolt today and got them in and they work alot better than the bolts that were cut.

also got one of the front brembos painted. it is a heavy metal flake blue that is close to the cusco blue. The pics dont do it any favors. it was sanded down with some 400. 1 layer of primer,3 coats of blue,hi temp brembo sticker,3 coats of clear

[4g63tcrazy]

Lookin good, now put them in with the new wheels!!

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Very nice!

[TkrPerformance]

got all of the brembos painted now


also went to the junk yard today and they had a 5g mirage so I snaged the arm rest out of it. No more crappy plastic one for the car anymore. To top it all off it was dirty as hell and was 2.00 because of that, nothing a carpet cleaner could not fix
