Im just wondering what some of you are up to now were into the Summer?

I got a few things brewing, currently I'm working on a thermal loop bypass.

Post up if your modding something.

My eyes!!!

Looking good, looks like i'm not the only one that thought about a better CAI for a PS inlet. I designed a RAI thats mandrel bent 4" aluminum. Yours looks great Chris.

Did you create the badging on the side of the SC? I like that!

Thanks. Yeah its laser etched in the case. Too much drama over there sometimes. Guess I better not advertise my polished alternator.:D I was seeing IATs running down the highway of about 20* over ambient with the air filter n the fender well. I need to box in the 2 heat exchangers to keep the air flowing thru them and not around them.

You better keep that to yourself, they dont like to see raw talent from anyone but DR.

Back to Sherm's build... 20* above ambient with a blown car is way too much.

I can see the quality you put into the build. I like the catch can and the functioning EGR valve. Maybe some of the Eaton swap guys can take a page out of your playbook and step up the finished product. I never understood how they could put in the work to do the swap and not make the EGR and ALL emmissions function as the OEM did.

Kudos on the work you did Chris, your anal and I like it!

Thanks.

I probably would have deleted the EGR if the tube wasn't welded to the header. But its on there and working so thats good. The trilogy flex tube just twisted around to meet the EGR port. I think I'll have to go back and turn the EGR cap like JustBob did.

Very Nice work Chris. I like the way it looks Well done.
You are right there is to much drama over there. I like the idea of KISS.
Best of luck with your continued project.
Very Cool.
