ID1000's, why such small injectors? What fuel are you going to run?

Intercooler looks awesome as does everything else.

ID1000's, why such small injectors? What fuel are you going to run?

To make a long story short, I had ID2000's but they were stolen. At the time I could not afford to buy them again, so I just went with the 1000's to have something. I am still on the stock bottom end currently, so if I end up keeping this engine setup and building the bottom end, I will likely step back up to the 2000's. For fuel I was planning on E85 (my own blend with E98 and 93 octane).

Intercooler looks awesome as does everything else.

Thank you sir. I would change a few things if I were to build it again from scratch, but I am pretty happy with the outcome.

How did I miss this build??

A+++ Would read again.

A few updates:

I powder coated my modified water outlet in wrinkle black, along with the charge pipes.  Welded on my Tial Q BOV flange and installed that as well.  I also finished my upper and lower radiator lines and installed my turbo oil lines (wrapped in DEI heat sleeve).  Then I made some upper radiator mounts and welded those onto the radiator.

Looks great.   I'm a big fan of wrinkle black.

[WannaBeFast]

This is pimp I tell you.

[Sho Amo]

I agree with the two above. There's something classy about wrinkle black. Oh and that intake manifold looks great.

[GSXRATED]

Thanks guys. I agree about the wrinkle finish. It really makes the parts look OEM in my opinion. I initially had planned to polish more parts, but I really liked the contrast between the white bay and the black engine pieces.

nice work as always!

Vacuum block installed and push-to-connect hose ran to intake manifold, FPR, and BOV.



Belt tensioner cleaned up & painted, and installed a 6-rib pulley & shorter belt to account for my lack of A/C & PS.



I also built a catch can and put my down pipe in place.  I need to finesse the angle of the turbo slightly so the charge pipes and exhaust line up to where they should be.  Getting closer to the first start up!

[GSXRATED]

Ran a couple of lines, and my air filter I ordered showed up.  I also adjusted the turbo orientation and clocked the compressor slightly so everything lined up like I wanted it to:

Had a chance to work on my trans cooler mount. Sorry for the iphone pics:




Still working on my catch can location & line routing:



I have now topped off the oil, trans fluid, and added coolant.  I just need to do a functionality check with the ECU, finish the trans cooler lines, and tie up a couple of loose ends before the first start up.

Nice!  Engine bay looks awesome!

interesting trans cooler location, I may have to replicate that.  Have any more pictures of that?  How is the airflow going to be with it there?
