Ace,

Don't bother with a fan. It will just impede airflow, and once you're past about 30mph, it's not going to help you anyway. Just rock it the way it is...and take out your fender lining if you haven't already.

Eric

p.s. looks good!

Ace man, good job. I take it you have a digi cam? I need one of them!

Are you in Conn.? If so you should drop down to LI some time this summer (the rest of you Conn. people too) and chill out around here. I'd love to compare S14KAT against S13 SR20DET.

Thanx for the compliments. I've got a digi cam, Cannon A40. It's really good for a cheap compact 2mp. Yeah, I'm in CT. A friend of mine (Micah) goes to LI meets a lot and keeps asking me to go. I've always ended up busy or something though. Maybe one of these times I'll go.

Anyways, on to
Part VII:
Today I wanted to get everything in working order so that I wouldn't have to worry about mashing down on the gas. So, I changed oil after driving the car around all morning picking up parts, and got ready to dig into the engine again. (yup, changed oil after less than 1 day of use).

I bought 2x 2" ID radiator hose 90deg bends, and used them (with a 2" to 2.5" muffler adapter as a hose adapter) to connect the IC. I'm hoping the "hotpipe" wont melt... but since it's radiator hose it should be able to withstand a bit of heat (at least over 200deg I hope).


With the bends in place, I really couldn't fit the coolant resevoir, so I ended up moving it to the other side of the engine bay where there was some empty space, in front of the windsheild wiper motor where the ABS would go. With everything in place, it ends up looking like this:


With a little bit of cleaning, painting, and polishing I should have a really nice looking engine bay!!

So, last thing to do was to visit my friend Carl's shop, Soundworks, where his "new" KAt was sitting in the parking lot:


I'm tryin' to get hooked up with a FMIC through the shop, so we'll see how things go. I still need an oil pressure gauge and I'm going to redo the MAF with mild steel piping instead of the PVC. So, the engine swap is now officially done with, and it's on to bigger and better things!

i took a bunch of pics, but most are similar. this is the only other real different one worth posting: your engine bay


I wanna stick with Autometer gauges since all my gauges are Autometer... even though I'll most likely going to a smaller boost gauge anyways and taking the fuel pressure gauge out since it's not even hooked up

I'll hook the filter up when I get some 3" piping. They didn't have any at Monroe, so I've gotta call around places tomorrow.

would've been better if i didn't mess the MAF up

might've just gone into failsafe mode though
