Started work on the Stillen SC kit. Got the components painted the same chameleon gold/red that I did on the car body, with polished gold lettering. Oil and tranny coolers installed. Now I need to fab my braided steel lines for the kit because the hoses that come with the kit simply look ugly.

damn is coming out clean.. can wait to see it install

Got the fuel rail assembly done and manifold in...the bolts on the underside of the Stillen manifold are a nightmare to reach, even with their special tool.

Pics of the finished engine bay (pre-test firing)

All thats left is to install the MAF wiring and the water intercooler.

All the lines are braided stainless, all the connectors are titanium swivel AN fittings. All the piping and underside of the plenum are thermal wrapped.

very creative build, beautiful man! :tup:

Thanks. The kit is actually a bitch to install, all the tolerances are super tight.

ITS ALIVE! ITS ALIIIIIVE!!!!

Finally got it running. Its on the Stillen tune for now until I get time to get down to AMS Performance.

It sounds great, idle is smooth. Just need to put the bumper on and take it for a spin tomorrow.

Wow good for you. How did you learn to do all this?

Perf.Des 03-31-2012 09:50 AM

Learned by doing

Perf.Des 03-31-2012 06:16 PM

Took it for a test drive today...wow...simply wow. Drivability is great, power delivery is smooth.

The only downside is I have to adjust the Ark exhaust...like everyone else's it seems that mine also is hitting the crossmember.

This weekend I painted my Stillen lip to color-match the magnetic black. Installed it tonite, took a bit of dremel tooling to make it fit. I was kinda disappointed by the amount of massaging it took to put it on. But now it looks pretty good.
