Ok guys, As you all know there was some carnage about the end of summer.

That's right the stock 7bolt with 90k on the clock did not like the boost I was throwin at it along with the nitrous. (28-30lbs all day plus the 50 shot.)

The car was a pretty much full weight car(minus back seats).

The car is not going to come much off that. I still want it to look like a street car, but wont be driven much on the street.

I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Before I even touched anything, all I did was mount the solenoids.The car is going to be on a 100 shot wet. I havent decided if I'm going single nozzle or direct. Depends on if I have any money left over.

Another stock internal tranny is going in. The only things I might touch is a shift kit and end clutches.

Here is during the process of cleaning up the engine bay. I'm gonna try to get the car over to my welder so that I can get the strut towers fixed. We'll see what happens he's a very busy guy.

Here is just another angle of the "during" pic process of the bay. Sorry I dont have any pics of the bay finished up , my camera battery decided to die and I didnt feel like getting more.

And here is what the interior is pretty much going to look like. Except there is going to be something in place of the passenger seat. I'll have pics of that tomorrow.

Here is the bad boy that is going to do it!!!!!!!!! It's gonna try to push this car to a goal I have set for her. I'm not gonna get my hopes up so I'm not going to say anything.
Evo 9 piston and rods in a 97, 7 bolt block. 9.0:1 compression. (sorry about the bad picture of her but shes going on the stand and getting cleaned up and a head hopefully put on. ASAP!

What's all needed for a air to water intercooler install? I've never done one and was thinking about maybe doing it.

This for a street car. They have different choices for intercoolers themselves.

So is this a track slut?

You could buy a heat exchanger and use the water to air IC on the street as well and still have the ice box.\



Eehh nvm you prolly already knew that.
