I like both of those. Anyone else wanna chime in?

the little 9b sitting in its home. Going to have to redo the coolant routing all the way up to the water pump. There just isn't enough room.

You should add some stainless -3 teflon flex brake lines. Just buy the line amd install the fittings yourself. Earl's, Russel's or Aeroquip have the parts. All you need is a hacksaw with a new blade and a vice.

If you go to cut the braided line, wrap the line were your going to cut it with some form of tape, Black tape etc, then cut through the middle of the tape that will help to slow the fray of the steel braids. Good luck

My buddy summoned like 10 feet of steel braided line. He said it was leftover from a project. So I do have that. Still need to cut an oil return hole in the oil pan.

How does anyone make room for intercooler in the bumper. There is zero clearance in there.

It's a little cramped to say the least. Fortunately, the factory B6T manifold is fairly compact in size to compensate for the extra camshaft. My advice is to trim the radiator support out and bolt it back in once you get the assembly in. I've had to do that since I upgraded from a VJ series turbo since there literally isn't enough room to muscle the turbo exhaust assembly into place.

My manifold goes in with ease. But my turbo totally blocks all the factory coolant return stuff. So I'm going to route it all different, use the water pump flange and have a passenger side 90 degree bend instead of driver side. Does anyone see issues with using the coolant hard line from the heater core and thermostat bypass to feed straight into the turbo, obviously with some hose and couplers. Would it hurt my flow through the system too much?

[bhearts]

I'd hate to have cavitation or reduced flow through the heater core due to the turbo coolant restrictions.

I've never powder coated before, but this piece turned out awesome.

I'm working on intercooler piping routing right now, and have moved where my ignition coil, driver, and suppressor sit, instead of sitting on top of the strut tower it's now lower between it and the brake booster/mc. While chopping and welding that whole Frankenstein coil mounting piece to fit in my desired location, I've decided to install another surface to mount a coil driving transistor. Parallel ignition modules on my buddies twin charged Buick park avenue net him ridiculously hotter spark. Theoretically, a transistor under load will have more or less pumping losses in so the transistor drops voltage across its body body in result it has to be heat sinked to wick heat away from the component to avoid over heating. At lower rpms the driver has plenty of time to "charge" the coil, but at the higher rpms the time between coil collapses lessens, and you find the limits of the coil driver. Results could be sub maximal spark voltages, possibly even spark blow out under boost. Now, adding in an supplementary driver, a parallel driver will split the load between the two, allowing for faster coil charging between sparks. Which could over heat the coil, bringing the perfect opportunity to upgrade.

[bhearts]

Aem has a great coil on the market rated ridiculously hotter than our festiva coil. Hotter spark allows you to run learner at cruise, and to pump the boost in without fear off spark blow out

[sc72]

Index your plugs, that will help with spark blow out.

i personally dont even have my car running yet, but i will look into that when i get there. is there a certain spacing thats optimal on turbo b engines?

[eurotiva]

I run .025" , but I also run lots of boost
