I like it.....you should also try for a GT4 Spoiler:) Nice work with the intercooler piping on the engine but i think you should remove that bumber grill holds the original fog lights to have a better view of the intercooler....what do you think??
 Sexy car... and NICE COLOR!!!!!!!!(BLACK,like Cyprus Ninjas)

Hey man looks really really good well done, and a good route for the ic piping. what boost are you running? noticed that youve got some hoses with no clamps on, why is that? ive already blown off some hoses on a high boost run, best to clamp everything, even if it seems like it doesnt need it. Have you had a chance to measure your intake temps yet? any improvement? oh yeah are you gonna mesh the intercooler? ive already had loadsa insects and stones hit mine already, definitely worth giving it some extra protection.
once again well done oin the work man -------------------- GT4 ST205 79 modifications and rising!!

thanks for all the kind comments guys.
right now im using regular home depo cheap clamps, but im planing to upgrade them to the heavy duty ones soon. the parts of silicone that you see without a clamp and just there to prevent any rattle that may come from the piping and motor moving around. the boost is set at stock and im getting around 8-10psi depending on what gear im in. the odd thing is that i dont seem to create much boost in 1st gear...i guess thats normal tho. with the new motor the car no longer feels like such a dog. daily driving is much better then before. i wouldnt say that the car is the fastest thing in the world, but its definetly quick and can take any honda out there. when i started this project, i was worried about traction issues and things like that. now that its done, traction is not a problem at all. i guess its just my driving style, but i dont brake loose in any gear or anything crazy like ive seen on the swap videos people have posted. i guess this is also because im at stock boost and have heavy 17s on. you do notice some torque steer tho, but nothing too hard to handle. my future plans are to take a brake from mods and just enjoy what i built, but im planning to get an oil pressure gauge very soon. my overall goals for the car are: 12-14psi SAFC and dyno tuning 17x8 rims with 225-45 tires GT4 spoiler posts "Celica GT-4" badges for the rear some type of rear lip for the back bumper gt4 tails gt4 projectors (maby) paint interrior panels sliver upgrade the sound system and thats about it. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I dunno, I think the Buick "Darth Vader Edition" GNX fills that position in Vader's garage quite nicely.  |
