Just haven’t insulated anything yet :ugh2:

Does that fan blow toward your house? If so this may be a problem with airflow for the unit outside cooling the condenser. I have had that issue before when I was in the AF.

Yes it will; shouldn’t be an issue with this setup...as always will be in the shade & Hvac guy said it looked great.
Also it’s within drawing specs on mounting :tup:
Inside part will blow downward; unsure if it oscillates or not...but don’t want it aimed at roll up door :ugh2:
I’ll know in a couple days :tiphat:

Good parts. I looked into using Zeitronix for my entire gauge setup when I did the car. In hindsight I wish I had since the LCD screen went out on my Greddy Multi-Gauge. I also like the Profec. I have the original running mine.

We’re the coil packs bad or you just replacing all the OEM stuff too?

When is this showing up?

They weren’t bad, just 125k miles & Seb recommended the GTR ones over the 370 ones :ugh2:
Said he’s seen some of the stock ones misfire, when potentially running over 20# boost...idk :tiphat:
Beings he’s gonna be tuning; I got parts he recommended :tup:

:iagree::iagree::iagree: My project initially would have been about $20k but because it has taken more than two years you can triple that. Death by a 60,000 paper cuts! :ugh2::owned::driving:

Dude...The ‘while I’m in there’ and ‘it’ll never be easier while that’s off’ add-ons kill a car build budget.
