Another nice setup with yet more unique features. So what's the scoop/specs on that IC?
Beautiful work as usual.

That looks amazing Stef! (and everyone involved)

Gotta let me know how that PWR works out, I know very little about their Liquid IC's and am curious how they work and what they can support. I like the idea of less piping from Turbo to TB.

wow great pictures and very clean setup as well! i love seeing custom work

[hurley97]

So far I love the PWR, you can't really tell at idle because the heat exchanger isn't getting any air flow, but on a test drive me and Manny pulled off the highway to check something and the intercooler was literally ice cold to the touch.

The only problems I have are these:
- My wastegate actuator was originally set at 15.9 psi. So the first test drive I launched it and it went right to 15 psi, the injectors shut off and it went really lean, CEL came on with a code P0105 for the MAP Sensor.
We played with a couple things to make sure they were working. Dustin did some research online and found out I could adjust the arm for the actuator, so I did.
Now it maxes out at about 14 psi if I floor it in 4th or 5th gear, but in 2nd gear it shoots to 10psi and holds it out through the whole gear. I need to work on a few things to try and get it to max out at 10 psi in any gear.

- I have no support for the exhaust manifold to the block so there's an exhaust leak at the top where the manifold meets the head

- I need bigger injectors, Manny thinks I am maxing them out already. Which means I'm at least making 195-200hp


Other than that the car is much much quicker than I anticipated, it pushes you back in your seat like nothing I've ever driven. For the first time I heard my little ST's wheels chirp in 1st and 2nd. It's fun.

thats awesome steff, again nice work

the one she has is rated for 300hp (flywheel) IIRC
but they do make larger ones.
