Looking good so far man!

I do hope you're planning to use some sort of a grommet for those braided lines and not let them rub together or chafe against the metal plate.

You are correct. I'll probably make another, smaller hole for the breather. I havent gotten around to that part again. busy doing other things.

Looks great, I wish i had the time and welding skill to make mine awd. Stupid question here, did you use a galant rear for your 4 lug rear or use the factory turbo csm stuff on a dsm rear? Also, where'd ya get there big breaks?

Get a bend welded directly to the TB.

Feedback: Change the brake fluid ASAP! :lol:

Dave managed to make his IC pipe fit with the JMFab street plenum.

See. i thought about doing that. But i have 3'' IC pipes from start to finish It'd be RETARDED to go from 3'' to 2.5'' right before the TB. And i know the TB isnt 3'' :x


I might go get a tight 120degree bend ubent today. and try that. IDK. I dont wanna use a silicone 90. I HATE them

Yeah, that 3" piping is gonna screw you over. Good luck.

Why would it be retarded to go from 3" to 2.5" right before the throttlebody? Its basically a velocity stack. I know numerous DSMs that do that with great success, +650whp success in more than one occassion.

Are you going to be able to run your car at the track without having a firewall sealing in that fuel cell?
