shes back, new pics of motor
hey guys, finished the motor in my car this weekend, while i was in there i did the following:
removed AC and P/S pumps and all lines
installed Greddy Profec B boost controller
installed KMS intake manifold
DIY throttle body heater hose bypass
lets see if i can answer all the questions before they are posted
1. no, the steering is not hard at all, if you do it right, like in the DIY that was posted on here about a week ago, the steering feels like a regular manual rack
2. yes, the intake manifold made a world of difference in the way that the car runs, its 100% better feel then the old plastic one. the boost is more precise and even. and it kicks in faster as well.
3. no i dont give a **** about the Air conditioner, i never used it anyway
4. the greddy profec B controller was 310$, and its **** in awesome
5. and the motor took a hour to get out, and a hour to put in.
this is where i looped the power steering lines

Rep Power: 812 the throttle body heater bypass might cause idle problems later. and it was shown to only decrease air intake temp by 1-2 degrees on an NA car.
