^^^ Thanx.

nothing really new to report with the Holidays here.

Rerouted the AT cooler lines, and pulled out thier temp sendsers.

They have done thier part in proving that the BHR radiator does actually do a better job cooling AT fluid compared to the OEM cooler. So dont need them in there anymore. They may get re-tasked to be somewhere else.

The engine bay material is now missing. It was starting to fall apart and looked like rats had been in there.

Just waiting for time to re-do the Thermostat piping tree.

has anyone here really looked at that thing? Has almost the same crazy routing of in's and out's like a heart.

After that is complete, shouldn't be that much work left. IC piping back to the TB will follow the Greddy path on the drivers side of the bay.

Plans for this Saturday. Fix the f$@^&$(.)(.) rear trailing spark plug. When the recall program for bad cats and low compression came out, the dealership also did the plugs.


They managed to x-thread the rear trailing plug and you can visibly see that its stuck in there at an angle. bastards !
It's been in there for close to 22k. and the dealership is out of business.

Two things can happen here.
1. all goes smooth and no problems
2. they could have possibly managed to crack the spark plug hole jacket.. and end up with a coolant leak.

It's pretty meaty so not too worried about the latter. This has to be resolved to make any serious power.
