Guest Tony_K Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Setup looks good. smile.gif Side note - People have been turbocharging Fieros since day one - hope he doesn't think he's Mr. Original or anything. Too bad he painted the interior panels day-glo orange. graemlins/puke.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koritina018273 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 That is one ugly color. Setup does look really clean though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renner Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 It's not bad. He really should try and get some smooth bends on the header and intake runners though. Straight 90 degree intersections kill the velocity and cause large pressure drops from the extra turbulance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitamincj Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Durn. I need to be doing stuff like that in my basement. I give him props for doing most of it himself. Looks like he is no stranger to welding. CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would kill to have that much room to work with on any of my projects. http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/4/web/160000-160999/160293_162_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/4/web/160000-160999/160293_6_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/4/web/160000-160999/160293_44_full.jpg There is always a way to come up with smooth near-equal length runners, even in the most cramped spaces. http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/4/web/160000-160999/160293_214_full.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nevarmore Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 One thing that bothered me was that he had a good portion of the engine colored, but his engine bay was filthy. Its like tacking a Picasso up in the bathroom with scotch tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
