Terrell is right. I have to pull the motor out to notch out the K-member for the AC plus there is no way im going to be able to install that AC box with the engine in. NO ROOM! I wish i was doing heads and cam but not yet.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

ah well that is kind of boring....haha...damn Terrell hit it on the spot! I never did any a/c box removing/installign on a third gen so I didnt know it wouldnt come out.

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

Ahh, good catch Terrell. For some reason I thought Joey had the Hawks tubular K-mem that was ready to go for A/C.

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

When the Tubular K-member came out, i already did the install of the motor. Plus i was hearing bad stuff about it. But now i hear thats the only way to go.

Copchaser

iTrader: (2)

Looks like you have got some work to do... Its mid Jan. How long you thinking?

You called it Terrell... Nice!

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

Terrell caught it because he's the one with the tubular k-mem parts for just that reason, right buddy??

I'm really glad you'll have the cold a/c blowin' on ya Joey while I'm passin' ya.

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

THIS GUY!! Always messing with me But you know what, im going to be happy sitting in my car while its hot. cant beat that. Got to love A/C

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

Yeah, if you're cruising around a lot in the summer it's a must. I have cold a/c in the GTA, but can't recall the last time I used it.

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

Well you figure, if its 100*+ outside, who wants to go anywhere right? But you never know. We might cruise in something like that. But if we do, i say we make a trip to the beach

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

I've got Santa Cruz on my radar for late spring, early summer. Especially if we're going to do a big GTG and meet up with the So-Cal crowd for a minute there.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

Yeah sign me up for that!

I dont think I will be able to go do that so cal cruise tho

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

you are all girls, must have ac.. blah, take off the t tops and go fast!

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

oh...I dont have t-tops....damn.

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

Taking the T-tops off just makes it worse. you got direct SUN light right on you. I had to double tint my t-tops just to make it a bit cooler.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

Yeah that's kind of what I thought. Especially with leather interior!

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

Made some progress today. Ive decided not to use the C5 air intake bridge. Im going back to the C6 style. Its almost perfect. Took the bumper off. Installed the Radiator with the C6 intake to see what else needs to be done. So far so good. I might need to get a smaller radiator but we will see. I plan of lowering the rad about 3".

OUTATIME GTA

iTrader: (2)

Pretty slick dude!

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

s bend into the intake?

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

I guess so. Do you think that will be an issue?

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

im assuming that's why he said something...enlighten us Traviz!

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

I really dont see why it would be a problem. The corvetts have the same set up. Im just adding dual intakes. Its all good. Im good with proving theories wrong

3rdBird

iTrader: (1)

Dont forget to get rid of all that unnecessary cumbersome weight. Theres alot of stupid stuff there, thats not needed. I removed over 200lbs of stupid stuff.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

Isnt the air going thru the core of the radiator more even more important ona street car? with your car marc the air wiill heat up more from the engine. I know it doesnt matter much on your car because of it being a strip car, but on a street car it's not as practical. (what do ya think?)

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

that is awesome marc! but how are you going to drive at night? oh and if you remove that radiator, i think you have enough room for a second V8 right up front there!

and joey- no, no problem, just asking the obvious. I am curious how you are going to run an upper rad hose, maybe its the angle, but looks like hell to snake over there.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

I forgot to double quote. I think it'll be fine Joey. I'd like to come by and check it out someday!

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

That looks crazy marc! Awesome.

Anthony, Come by any time bro. I should be working on it tomorrow if you want to swing by.

Travis, Im thinking about using a smaller but thicker radiator and tilting it a little more. But if i get a smaller one, i might get away with a slight angle. But we will see. Summit sales a rad that i want for $170. I and found some really low profile fans that can suck!! so i got some option open right now.

Shoulda gone in on my Champion aluminum radiator GP Joey! Had 2/3/4 core alum setups available.

The 2-core stock replacements were like $145.

I picked up a 3-core, with shroud and 2800cfm fans.

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

I remember you telling me about that. But i didnt know i was going to do this air intake setup till last minute.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

just driving along one day and you thought to yourself. I need a better air induction setup huh?

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

HAHAH thats right man!

kairles

iTrader: (2)

I think you need to find one of the old SLP dual inlet setups, or slice that hood open and fab up an intake like the one used on the 96-97 SS Camaro's.

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

+1 for the ss intake

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

I thought about that the SS intake. Did some research on it. It came down to that or the c6 intake. And of course i decided to go the harder way. Plus i dont think it would fit due to my Hotchkis strut tower brace

iTrader: (1)

I have a big Giffin radiator in my car, so i barely need cooling fans. My cold air is still in the works.

As for lights, I have Kragen rectangle fog lights in the turn signal pockets.

3rdBird

iTrader: (1)

Get rid of that upper radiator bracket & hood hold down plate. Replace it with some 1" aluminum angle iron brackets in its place.
Looks good, keep it going.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

ah okay sounds good im sure you'll post up pics with the completeled cold air setup

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

I was thinking about that. I might just take off the radiator support, the one that bends up and make it flat. That would increase room. But i like the way you are doing yours. Im going to order that griffin rad soon. The stock is not going to work. Ahhh more money....

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

Joey- I run that twin flex a lite fan setup on my iroc, I have no cooling issues at all.

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

That what i like to hear. Thanks for the boost of confidence bro. Ive seen some on ebay. Summit doesnt sale the ones i want.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

So how is my car doing Joey? haha....

3rdBird

iTrader: (1)

I hate thirdgen exhaust. After getting Travis's exhaust dialed in he asked us check out his Supercharger to intake plumbing, after 2 days of examination I still say theres something missing....

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

just put a spectre air filter on it and call it a done deal

Ramair21

Hey boi! Car is coming along. Change of plans on using the C6 corvette intake. not going to work. the steering box is just in the way. Ive tried everything. no luck BUT.......i have a new idea lol. Using the Stock TPI intake. But going to modify the crap out of it. The way i see it, its going to suck more than the c6 setup. Its going to be sweet. ill take some pictures on how im going to do this.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

Sounds sweet. I have seen people make the lid for the stock tpi box bigger, make custom air dams to take air in from the front grille where the fog lights mount. Hawks sells one you can buy. Stewardong put one on thier car. A lot of things you can do.

3rdBird

iTrader: (1)

I run the original cooling fans. No cooling issues. Big Griffin radiator!

TraviZ

iTrader: (2)

Anything written above in RED = UGLY

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

but you dont have A/C. im going to need the extra fan speed to pull more air

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

and plus you only had a single fan from the RS setup so you needed to upgrade anyway!

Ramair21

iTrader: (3)

true my friend, true!

Car show? or Function?

Me?...Function!
Griffin radiator, elec H2o pump, no thermo, factory fans = no overheating!
