Can I have a ride when you do in fact get your eaton up and running? Doesn't seem to be any s/c marauders around here for me to feel the power of!!!

If you haven't already done so, reach out to ImpalaSlayer.

BTW, for your intercooler heat exchanger, may I highly recommend:

not an Eaton but I used industrial garden hose bought like 25 feet(lots leftover), some barbed 90 degree bends and hose clamps for like $60 from the hardware store. I used some wireloom cover and zip ties for looks IIRC $30.

its not all 5/8ths, most of it is 3/4ths. i think i bought 8 ft of 5/8ths and 12ft of 3/4 and only had a few feet of 3/4 left. it all depends on how you route it. no 2 people are going to route it the same.

Egon when & if it gets done you will get a ride.

Cheesehead The Frozen Boost rad you had Dave install is a bad boy. Will you monitor internal temps. I would like to know degree above ambiant with such a monster rad.

NTD I understand there is very little if any pressure but I don't think I will be useing garden hose for all obvious reasons: oil, engine heat, seasonal weather, strength just not automotive rated ect.

Dave thanks for the heads up two size hoses & feet needed. That's a lot of hose for the price. We should all be so lucky.
