nice work taylor....can wait to hear the finished product

 

I'm sure I will. The other day I almost got bored enough to throw my friends FIC 2150's in my car too see what I could stir up for curiousity's sake. They run great on his Evo, but I decided against going through the work and most likely contaminating my oil with fuel lol

I can't wait to drive it! I need warm weather. Screw taking it out in this cold weather.

 

A little more patience, almost there

I'm going nuts. It's - 13 C here today.

 

You guys too? Man it's just been so cold! Its 10*F today, but is going to be -18 tonight and around 0 for the highs the next few days. Coldest sustained temps since the 1940's they are saying. We have had more below 0 temps this year than I remember my whole life lol And so much wind. Summer better make up for this!

 

Here's a vid from the night I started it up. Open DP and had a hole in it too from where I cut the recirc out and hadn't patched it yet. PCV not complete either.

 

how did you route the piping?

 

Holy hell that intercooler sits so low to the ground. It's gonna hate getting up and down the shop driveway lol

 

I think I need to send my intercooler back to zzp for that monster - how much is that and do I have to call them to special order?

 

Its not as low as it looks, even now that the tall tires arent on it. The hotside charge piping under the car is low though, only a couple inches off the ground. I'll have to measure, but I'd bet the subframe sits about 4" off the ground. When I get it pulled in the middle to wash, or outside I'll take some pics of it.

The hotside piping is routed under the car, and then over to the the inlet of the IC on the passenger side. Then cold side goes up to the TB where the BOV is and then the MAF.

 

My whole kit was built for my gray car before I owned it, so it was all custom made by ZZP. The IC was made to take up the whole RK Sport bumper. What you have would be a better fit for a cobalt I'm sure. And my end tanks are v-band to the piping.

 

Ahhh gotcha that makes sense lol your redline looks good man, can't wait to see what it can do

 

Ya no way in hell would that intercooler fit on a balt lol. Well maybe with some major modification. Room fer dayz in the Redline. It's bullshit haha.

 

i put an offer on that kit before you went and bought the whole car! just a filter on the turbo then or are you just running a screen?

 

Your injectors are ordered. Should be here early next week; I'll add the brackets and then off to you.

 

can you get them in ev6?

 

Thanks man. Need to order my tires next week so I can see what it looks like with the wheels on.

Redlines have so much room for activities! lol

Well I'm glad I ended up with it lol should do well! Got a nice deal too and he threw it in a box in the back seat. Had to do some major cleaning up though, it was dirty, and I still have to get rid of the red on the IM and coldside. I will be building my 4" intake this weekend I'm hoping. I'm at my friend's mercy since I can't weld for ****!

That's what I like to hear!

Oh yeah everyone, injectors are ordered! Time to sell these 80's that have held me over.

 

No, ev1/USCAR only. Comes with pigtails you can splice into any harness or you can get a harness from zzp.
Nolan confirmed the ev1 plug fits.
It's the same plug as the ID's.

 

Engine bay is looking good man. I'm not a huge fan of red but it looks nice in there. I like what you did with the catch can and the driver side of the bay looks alot better. Kudos.

Makes me want to dig into ours and clean and detail the engine bay

 

Thanks Richie! But for God's sake IM NOT KEEPING THE RED IN THERE! I've said that many times haha I don't like red in my engine bays. I'll be pulling the manifold and CP off to get painted. Mani will be the gray of my coil cover and the hotside will be the pearl white of my VC.

 

That's gonna look a lot better. I'd ditch the red too personally. Glad your doing those colors. That white is definitely spiffy lol

 

Nice!

 

uscar = ev6 most of the time

the ID's definitely don't have ev1 connectors though

 

I can confirm with 100% certainty that the FIC 1200s fit the same harness as the 80s

 

So no cut and solder ?

 

Nope! I was all prepared to do it then I looked at the connectors and I was like, wait a minute lol. Thats the same connectors as in my car! ARM originally thought it was EV6 so I ordered a harness from ZZP. After I realized that the EV6 was wrong I was just gonna solder the connectors on that harness. but no need.
