CU Zcar Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Remind me to never, ever post a picture of my engine compartment. My car works, mostly, and that's about it I'm not sure I'd want to see someone else with their setup as ghetto as mine on the road. And certainly not because they listened to me on how to get the swap done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Cygnus - are you routing the breather from the valve cover into the J-pipe?? I had considered doing that... but um.. isn't boosted pressurized air then going to get forced into the valve cover?? Am I looking at the picture wrong? No, the dishwasher drain hose goes from the valve cover down to the intake boot just after the AFM. It is just an illusion. I soldered up some 1/2 inch copper water pipe and elbows to get the reach I needed under the throttle body and down to the rubber intake boot.

240hoke Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 i wet my pants everytime is see those pics Btw i think it would be cool to make a sticky post and everyone could post one pic of their engine in it. it would be a good reference to see what others had done and too keep up to date with what everybody is running. i know there arent alot of turbo guys one here so it should be fesible. We would have to keep it clean just a pic no comments really. anyway heres a pic of my new setup: -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
