just made 3 simple brackets to hold it implace. i may redo the top one to make it look a little better but it works for now.

i found this kind of intresting, on the little white box that connected to the compressor is inscribed, marauder.

Looks Good. Perhaps you should wrap the compressor (black cylindar) with some reflective heat tape. Looks pretty close to the KOOKS.

Did you have to mess with engine mounts and raise up the block to get the KOOKS installed on the drivers side? What did you use for header bolts and gaskets?

the pump is over a foot away, no need to wrap it with anything, i only have the drivers side on thus far, about to put the second on now

well ive since wired up the air suspension pump and began making my custom scoop for the ram air set up. also installed my 180 t-stat and emp water pump but after i got the pump on i found out its the wrong one!!!

BEWARE when buying the emp pump, there are 2 different lengths and our cars need the short one.

also today i welded up the rest of the exhaust, just need some bolts to put it on.

Ummm... I knew that Dave......

Hey, sounds like the rest is going well.

[Raudermaster]

Looks good Dave and good job, looking foward to seeing finished pics.

i didnt even think of it till it was on the car and i looked at the box. DOH!

no biggie summit said they will exchange it even though i bought it months ago!

thanks Jarod. ill post some pics of the mid pipes i made today, im very pleased with how they came out.

Doh! The Long pump is for 2001 Models. That should have been a "no brainer" e.g. There's no 2001 Marauder (Or Mach I..)

:stupid:

:lol:


Also, how hard was it to install the headers? Did you have to mess with engine mounts and raise up the block? Old bolts come out ok? What did you use for header bolts?? Share the wealth!

i was given the part number by a member. didnt even think to check its application.

headers were a pita. didnt touch the mounts, old studs came out fine they also went bak in fine,took the crap kooks sent me n threw it in the trash per Zacks instructions.

[ImpalaSlayer]

heres some pics of the mid pipes i welded up. i know these are not high flow cats but i plan on making a second set of delete pipes and use these for inspection time. im pretty pleased with how they came out. also took a shot of my new TB.

^^^ Cool Looks good! Nice Tbody, that's a 62 Accufab?
I dig the valve covers too. Nice to have your own welding rig also.

So have you fired her up yet?

yup accufab 62mm only im not sure what part there measuring, it all seemed to measure the same as the stocker. i havent put the mid pipes on as i need bolts and i wana shoot some paint on em since they arnt stainless. no to mention i dont ahve a water pump on it right now.

[Raudermaster]

Looking good! Maybe you can come down here and re-weld my 'Stang exhaust? Oh, you WILL?! :D

i got quite lucky and basicly had 2 stright shots

[FormulaMarauder]

I wouldn't be surprised at a 45hp or so gain from this. Get yourself some sticky sneakers and take Glenn's check.

[Glenn]

I'm sure the Nazty IT will push him into the 12's :shake: . 320 RWHP is the minimum needed to run 12s under ideal conditions.

Glenn :burn:

[ImpalaSlayer]

just got done welding in the bungs for the rear 02 sensors and installing the mid pipes for good. only fired it up for about 10 seconds as theres no water pump on it right now but it sounds pretty mean!

[ImpalaSlayer]

well can anyone guess what this is going to be?

i also go the correct water pump today so she should be back in action this weekend ;)

I live 30 minutes away and am more than capable of doing that....

Mold for a carbon fiber intake tube?

Mold for a carbon fiber intake tube?

fiber glass but yeah! made one to work with the 90mm mass air

[justbob]

Nice work Dave! Looking forward to seeing it.

[ImpalaSlayer]

well i sorta failed and didnt get some inprogress pics but you can get the idea for these.

well i filled the 2 mold cavitys with some very fine concrete and let them set a day or 2. them i fliped em over and pulled the plywood off the back to reveil the under side of the pink foam. i then put some laquor thinner on the foam to disolve it and was left with this.

now the dark color stuff is wax as these pics were taken after i already pulled the 2 halfs out. its spotty because some of the wax came out with the intake halfs.

heres a few of the halfs already bonded together
