CoopKill's Mistress Makeover Thread [Pic Heavy]

[CoopKill]

Terry got me the gauges today! Now I have to add tearing in to the dash to my list...

The ebay link that you posted shows different lettering than this pic. Was you given options when you ordered such as letter colors and adding the Twin Turbo?

Yes there is options when purchased as MB stated.

nice job man...



...install next weekend, or too soon to plan?

Too soon to plan at this point. I got tired of the cluster in the shop, and spent 4.5 hrs on the mess. Still not where I want it, but there is more weekend left. Got too hot for my fat ass out there, so taking a water/food break.

Don't want to speak for him, but yes when I ordered the same mats I was given the option to customize, since they are made to order.

Edit: Coop, I've got a NA lower 1/2 laying around if you're interested.

Not going with the plenum just yet. I want to get her all done, and tuned before adding more to the mix. I will keep that in mind though for sure.

Well, well, well...

I did not pay attention to the list of gaskets I got from Chris. I forgot to order a few important ones like both oil pump gaskets. Got a dip stick, and drain plug gasket, and decided to rebuild the by pass while there. Needless to say there was not much I could do with assembly without being able to get the pump on.

So instead I found more brackets, and things to clean/paint.



The plenum did not get finished till 4pm, and I was 60 miles away from the shop at that point. Will have to pick up tomorrow...

[CoopKill]

Plenum time! Awesome work, I like it much. To top it off he reduced the charge from $240 to $160! Woot!



He carefully ground the area to only take off as much coating as needed.



The nozzles are angled so that when sprayed they spray with the flow, and all are damn perfectly aligned. FTW!




He offset them so there is very little to obstruct flow.



I will be using this guy for future ideas I have in mind. Great guy, and his work is great.

Now for the gaskets to get here so I can get back to scratching my head trying to figure out where crap goes. Unfortunately I got a bit excited to get to the machine shop once the engine was out. I forgot to bag and tag... Been here before, so should only cost me time in the manual...

[CoopKill]

Oh, I forgot. He machined a seat in the bungs for the nozzle holders to seat into. Just need to get some heat resistant o-rings.

Make sure you straightedge it now-

ultimate meth injection setup? I forget, too lazy to look back...

[mb3000]

Essentially the bee's knees of meth injection.

Not that popular because it's easily 2-3x the cost of a traditional kit.

[CoopKill]

Cough, cough...

[wingnut]

Oooo, nice...nurburgring wheels?


And about that cough...

[CoopKill]

Nahg, I went with the AMR's Nathan has. I was going to go with the nurburgring, but cash is getting scarce these days. These are $500 less out of the empty pocket.
