what color is the bay and what gun do you use? it looks nice.
one thing i'd recommend tho, don't use that water line on the back of the head. spend the $8 and get a proper "U" line, one that is designed to make a 180. it may not ever become an issue, but that line is a pain to replace in the car. |

So, no Tomei 2.2 L Stroker kit? Haha, that's what I was expecting. Or something along those lines...

So I know i've kinda gone slow on the updates, just bin busy at work and what have you but I finally got the car started today. Not everything went smoothly though had the fuel lines backward which took awhile to figure out. Then after that it finally started up, but when I got outta the car i discovered this.
[IMG][/IMG] The isis oil cooler i got shot off a fitting and spilled all 4 quarts on to my garage floor. After inspecting the fitting it wasn't even crimped onto the joint was basically wasn't even attached. [IMG][/IMG] I really don't recommend this product at all, except maybe to deolio up there for being such an assclown. |

on mine I did away with the u-line altogether, you can tap off the hard line by the intake manifold and go directly into the heater core then plumb it back in where the rubber 90 is going tot he driver side. its easy to do and see while the motor is out, not so much installed. either way works, just looks neater. shitty deal on the oil cooler, I was thinking about one, but maybe I'll stick to getting a setrab or greddy one. |

it looks good. My personal opinion:
1. Run the OEM exhaust system, keep boost below 11psi to conserve the life of that turbocharger. 2. A set of S3 Cams would drop in, run with the OEM springs/turbo/ecu, and confuse the hell out of anybody listening to the engine through the stock exhaust system |

I would recommend the Darton 2.2 liter sleeve kit also.
