Thanks, I edited it. How does it run you ask.. maybe you should ask the kid down the hall from me with the Civic (CRVtec) he takes me off the line because my stock clutch slips, but 3rd gear really does a number on him when boost hits and it doesnt let up until I peg the speedo out at 120 in 5th, then I dont really know how fast I'm going but its well over 130.

wow nice! how about motor mounts? hows it staying in there.

[FlatWagon83]

That thing has to be one hell of a sleeper. :twisted:

How does it stay cool? I didn't see a fan in there anywhere?

[Twiggilicious]

Damn man, thats exactly what I wanted to do to my car before I wrecked it :-(

Nice car you got.

[TerribleOne]

I've got a pusher fan that keeps things right at 198, but I'm gonna install a 2speed volvo fan soon.

Plastic oil fill caps are crappy you should go back to the metal style.

clean setup man :wave:

[EvanSargent]

I didnt say black wasnt beautiful, I said the crome 200 series caps are better quality. But hey its your car do what you want.

I would assume 240 motor mounts and 240 motor mount brackets. Simple.

As for the oil cap, I've used the plastic one because it doesn't leak like my metal cap does. The metal cap has a new seal, and I've even bent the tabs more, but I couldn't make it stop leaking.

We have had problems with the caps of our 700's leaking (we have had 5 so far) Mine still leaks some but not like it did.

Check the flame trap, or the elbow and oil trap box on the turbo engines. If they are clogged, the engine can't vent properly and the oil cap is usually the first to leak. The gasket gets hard and won't seal, and even a new gasket sometimes won't fix it.

(sorry to continue the strayed thread)

Motor and tranny mounts are new stock items.. The oil cap deal doesn't bother me, I'm just glad my car runs. The injectors are 440cc lightning SVT. and I'm running 8psi due to a slipping stock clutch. Exhaust is 2.5 inches from the turbo to the bumper stock routing with no muffler. Future plans include, a stronger pressure plate and reinforced disc, and more boost! It does a pretty good job of being a sleeper, it's got 3.73 rears and I like the M47 its pretty smoooth.

Distributors suck! It's all about the waste spark!
