Because most people like to have nice things. Same reason alot of guys wash there racecars, trailers, trucks...etc. When something works and looks really nice it just shows that you went that little extra step in making it look really clean. Why cut off zip ties or use wire loom, kinda the same thing. I know you didnt plumb it, but the whole engine compartment would look 100x nicer if it had a really clean direct port as the first thing you saw.

i think it looks fine, money tight for everyone, and if he didnt do it, why take it off and spend more money on it, when it could be spent somewhere else, i think brandon is tryin to just get his car running and then worry about the cleaning it up later, if it was mine i would put it on there until, and clean it up when i have some extra money, i sure brandon has alot of things he needs for this build,

i,m still waiting for uncel sam to post my check in the bank so i start building the S10''
still looking for good used deals on parts out there too'

LXtasy · 03-10-2010, 07:21 PM

I would still flow that intake atleast. You might have to shorten some lines up. Why get nitrous/fuel to some cylinders faster?

There is a reason why companies like Induction solutions charge what they charge to set them up RIGHT. I would FLOW them honestly. Its your motor not mine

I like it! gonna hurt somebodys feelings with that pluming job.

slowgreen99 · 03-10-2010, 10:13 PM

Not that im a "fogger/direct port" genius, but ive looked at MANY fogger setups this past weekend, and the lines are all almost the same as mine. They arent equal length from the noids to the nozzle, so...

LXtasy · 03-10-2010, 10:28 PM

Typically in your block setup the first ones will be longer than the other and slowly going to smaller runners as you get further away from the solenoid.

I would recommend getting someone to "tune" that fogger setup. You will typically experience in the corners of a SBF to be hotter and want a fat richer on the fuel side of things.

it will be tuned by someone on this board. Im not just jumping into a fogger and praying it works. And the intake has also been ported by a reputable person. Im just wanting to get a digital 7 box now so the tuning on the n2o can be done when time comes

slowgreen99 · 03-15-2010, 09:40 AM

Gettin closer. I still need head gaskets, intake gaskets, and a few misc. parts to complete the motor.

Awww snap!

slowgreen99 · 04-01-2010, 10:31 PM

Does anyone have any clues as to how long bad luck can follow a single person? My damn intake has to be shaved down verrry little to make it work, but finding someone to do it willingly is like trying to pull teeth. Taking it tomorrow to a guy to see if he can help me out. This shits gotta end soon.

fink406 · 04-01-2010, 11:15 PM

i think my guy could do it. apparently a few of you know him. andy streets(tech professor) if it doesnt workout brandon get ahold of me and ill see whats up.

BigdaddyDupree · 04-02-2010, 08:31 AM

Dropped the intake off at Dons Machine Shop. Hopefully this will be a simple process.
