haven't done too much lately. Have been busy and not able to wrench on the car.

planned tasks to do:
Pull out the LIM , grind down the casting marks, prep it and powder coat it.
Powder coat the cold side piping. Color TBD.......

The intercooler, WG, and intake side piping should be done this week.
Once the LIM is back the injectora and fuel rail will be re-attached and leak tested.

Changed gears. Moved to a .96 P trim 60 Trim To4E. Had to redo most of the plumbing that was done. It actually worked out for the better though, the position of the turbo is better..

A 4-port LIM, sure, but a 6-port I doubt it! LOL. Are you going to polish the LIM??

True, as it is now I think it will hit the bumper

i know. it's in the way of the bumper support, but notice the pipes are not connected yet.

no polish, but something on the same thought.

it was really dirty on the inside.

I know these pics look more orangy-yellow than yellow. I'm kinda tired so, didn't feel like color correcting them... Oh well but you get the idea.
The color of the power is 02 Corvette yellow from NIC Prismatic

All the work was done by ARC powercoating here in Phx. Very reasonable price of $40. I think he did a great job on the LIM.

Thanks! you have seen what it looked like before ! Damn it WAS FILTHY! Yuk. The 2 primary ports have carbon flaking off in them. nothing a little Oil Eater and a bottle brush couldn't get rid of.
