looks up a "scirocco" (sp?) style radiator. thats what i'm using. it fits nicely in front of the factory radiator with a bit of fab work on mounts (i built a new crossmember). if you have access to fabrication stuff, you could make mounts up no problem.

its a great size. i bought a huge griffin core for mine, welded honda outlets on it, etc.

well got the turbo turned and now everything fits...tight, but it fits :D fans aren't installed right in the pics, but there's a little bit more room that can be had. only bad thing now is that i have to get the downpipe and the drivers side intercooler piping redone and a traction bar

I don't think I've ever seen a before and after and been so confused. I swear that before is really the after...at least that is what I wish were true.

I feel you, I thought it was a joke, more like a sad story. I don't care if its a "style" or not.
Reminds me of those sites you click on and than some wild face pops up trying to scare you... but this was worse, closest thing to a murder scene.

Thats one EF I wouldn't mind see'n you saws-all to pieces!

Good to see you keep going on it and not letting it beat you... wish I had some advice but I stay away from the turbo set-ups. I can tell you that to get that far along without an after market traction bar is pretty impressive though! hope everything just falls into place for you, keep it up man!


- BTW... where is Boosted?!?! I pray he didn't part it out and disown us.

Probably just "lip-swingers" since it looks female owned.

Just glad I'm not the one driving it. If she likes it, good for her!

What's even more annoying than being called a hater for calling a spade a spade is them pretending our "hate" fuels their passion or whatever. Right, so you reverse engineer the suspension, unbolt body panels and sand off the paint. I say I don't like it and that makes me a "hater."

My beater still has that bogging issue and Im beginning to think its the fuel pump. From what I know its stock.. doubt the original owner ever swapped it out. anyone have any fuel delivery problems with a stock fuel pump with just a b16?

Blu- that is a scary sight!


Boosted- Looking good man.

you had no issues with fuel delivery or bogging (especially uphill) with the stock b16 and that fuel pump, did you?
