yah thanks fred, i think i know what i'm looking for but just wasn't 100%

the 3x3 is cut about 1 foot long with the bottom cut out of it and its going to sit on top of this

then the throttle body will sit on the front of it, basically like this in short

or like this

any who heres some pics of trying to mount a custom intercooler i picked up for cheap, i just gotta move its outputs to fit properly

oh and while i was taking everything off i figured i'd try mocking up my new front bumper (and you can see the piece of tubing i'm gonna be using for my new intake plenum in the lower right hand side)

enjoy

Stay tuned until next time when Dealwithit

This has got to be one of the longest, most complete build logs I have ever seen. Its fun just to log in and look at what you have done.

yah, well i like to take pics and possibly inspire others to do the same sort of swap

(plus i'm totally broke so everything is being done as cheap as possible!

) you want to see a long thread look at fred's build on mx6.com

so today i remounted the out pipes on my intercooler

i'll snap some pics of it tomorrow

thanks for the comment ohm

i always love to check in and see what progress anyone else has made on there builds which is probably why i update almost every day

HEY! mines *only* 9 pages long, this is page 17!! lol

I'll give you that my comments are a separate thread and that I probably have a few more pictures posted up though (I took about 1gig of photos and have about 800 online :-) )

dealwithit · #**155** (**permalink**) 04-04-2008, 01:18 AM

well more pics!

i got started on my intake plenum, got the intercooler almost done and mounted, some material for my grill work, my new seats....etc

the new grill material. i'm gonna cut out the back of the grill and put some of this across like an insert so i can have more space behind for the intercooler

like this but the grill will only be 3 chrome strips with no black plastic

newly positioned intercooler pipes (i finally figured out the welding machine by the end

)

now the pipes clear perfectly

so far on the plenum

and my new seats

93 mx6 freebies

oh and i picked these up for free too

Looks good.

dealwithit · #**158** (**permalink**) 04-08-2008, 06:10 AM

well more pics! anyone sick of them yet? lol

ok so i almost have my plenum done, and i've started on my coolant pipe

**** that looks nice on there! and it was so easy to make too!

the pipe i grabbed from work was 1 5/8 which turned out to be too big so ill grab the 1 3/8 tomorrow and make the same thing out of that.

enjoy

lol, should have added some riser tubes and just stuck the plenum out the top of the hood

Then dress it up with one of those big funny car hood scoops!!! hahaha.

trust me if it didn't have the fancy pearl paint on it i would have just done something like that. but this way it won't interfere with my battery either
