GtiR_interior__4_.jpgNew rad :) I bought nice pretty blue rad hoses, then the rad blew, go figure! Now the new top hose doesn't fit. :( I mounted the FMIC late fall, picked up a cheap piping kit. I lost my house and garage so I had a really good garage do this work for me. Hot side didn't fit so Saisan motors welded up a stainless one for me :) Z32 MAF, she no work! :( at least not with the mines ECU that was also put in. :) Boost is now set to 14 psi :) I also had the Turbo XS boost controller (the one with the game boy!!!) installed for monitoring and tuning. :) She works! Wow, what a difference. I had some knocking at high throttle around 4-6k rpm. I increased the injector duty a little bit around that curve and no more knocking. Going to need some proper tuning this summer. Any volunteers? Props to Saisan Motors for doing all this instal and fab for me. Super cool bonus...The intake filter is nice and tucked down on it's custom mounts, the overflow bottle is up front under the bumper where the wiper fluid was, again on it's own custom mounts.

GTi-R, the best ugliest car I've EVER seen/driven. You can make it cool, you can make it fast but you CAN'T make it look pretty.

Thank you canadianR
. Check out new pictures. The battery move took a long time but was not really technical or difficult. You can see the small terminal block where the battery used to be with the wires going in and out. Good luck.

thanks for the pictures.

My rad overflow is in that spot (wouldn't fit with the fmic where most people put theirs). Back to the drawing board for me :|
