                The 24v motor is superior to turbo, but something about the m20 being a 12v single cam original motor making great power makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when driving my car.

                      Got a bit more done. It's been subzero temps here over the weekend so not as much as I'd hoped for.







                      I'm going to get some rubber bushings after work for the new mounts to sit on. Once I have that located I'll finish welding it all up.

                        Nice intercooler ;D
                        I'm really hopeful to be done for the summer!

                          I HATE the inlet/outlet placement on it.....I've come SO close to relocating but I really don't want to void the warranty. in the future I'll just build my own and save myself the headache.

                            Thanks she's getting there!
                            I commented on Instagram about how I wish I could cut up the front end to do a tube style like yours that way I can put everything where I want it because as of now the intercooler won't get much flow
                            But I'm a novice welder and my intercooler pipe is welded already to put the intercooler where it is and no way I'd finish for summer if I started cutting!

                              So I got the radiator welded up this weekend. It;s also all mounted to the chassis I just didn't get a picture of that.



                              Then last night I worked on the top inter cooler mount which will also double as the oil cooler mount. This wasn't exactly what I envisioned but I did't have the tools to accomplish that. I still think the design tuned out nice though. strong, light will serve its purpose.

                                I wish I was able to run an intercooler with a core that thick under a stock core support.

                                Just weld on the desired in/outlets. You'll be so much happier. There isn't anything on an intercooler that promotes a warranty that someone with your talent can't fix with a welder.
