Couple quick shots..... May 28, 2006, 11:09:27 AM I've still been pushing along to get this thing running for CJ. Finally got the battery....A couple shots with one showing the size.It weighs 25#. I could have gone with the smaller one again (13#), but I figure with the extra distance and such (going behind the pass seat), the extra "oomph", would be good, and it's still 1/2 the weight of most std batteries.Now a couple engine shots..At this point I'm holding off on the IC so I can just get the thing on the road. Adding it later will be no biggie. The engine bay will get cleaned up and painted when I do the engine swap to the X-Flow, so it will have to suffice as is for the time being. I'll need more things I'm sure after it's running, but this will be good enough for now...I just want it to move under it's own power again.Just a couple more things on the list to get it running..-A couple silicone couplers to finish the intake tubing(ordered)-Alternator tension bracket-battery mounted-rework fan relay wiring for MS control-reflash the MS with the updated code and get it mounted in the car (wiring is all in ....)-cooling lines (I could bypass the heater core to get it running, but probably will just get it done right the first time.)Then it's cross-you-fingers time.....

Couple quick shots..... Reply #3 – May 28, 2006, 11:45:50 AM An inline intake? Interesting.Your O2 housing is also rather interesting. Center mount header? Quote Selected
Couple quick shots..... Reply #4 – May 28, 2006, 11:58:12 AM Yup a center mount (From Bob Lee)The intake is a mild port and smoothed out. Once I decided on the X-Flow swap, I wasn't as concerned with tweaking this to the hilt...and I'm also just using the inline intake to be obstinant... Quote Selected

Couple quick shots..... Reply #6 – May 28, 2006, 02:13:11 PM That has got to be one of the nicest Turbo Coupes I've seen. Even though you don't have the intercooler it'll probably run pretty hard;) . Quote Selected
