Re: 88 alltrac *pics are up*





i'm suprised how big it looks w/o the bumper

 

Re: 88 alltrac *pics are up*

actually the bumper is practically untouched. all i did to it was cut the fog light brackets off. it fits like a glove. whats needed to do an evo 9 fmic on a st165 is remove all ac components especially the condensor. remove the center bar holding the horns and build your own bracket tying it to the bumper support. pic of the support i made is in the pic above the intercooler. i also made some brackets to hold the intercooler. i also had to use slim pusher fans in front of the radiator. i'll take more pics of it later. just let me know what else you want me to take a picture of

 

Re: 88 alltrac *pics are up*

the evo 9 fmic fits great but piping needs to be fabbed up. i also have the 3sge intake manifold and turbo clocked which makes routing the pipe much easier and less piping. i do recommend buying a universal intercooler pipe kit which has various bends so you can cut and weld. the intercooler itself fits great given you make the bracket i talked about for the hood latch. w/o it the hood won't close. the custom brackets i made to mount the intercooler to the radiator support on the bottom is actually 3" of straight thick steel plates mounted to the radiator support via stock holes on one end. the other end is bolted to the intercooler brackets. a little ghetto but does its job.

 

Re: 88 alltrac *pics are up*

update for today 9-18.

mounted coil (ghetto but its on)
mounted and ran power steering cooler lines
all intercooler pipes are on and clamped
bov mounted and vacuum lines ran
fixed most of the vacuum hoses


need to be done...
fix up vacuum lines
clean up engine bay wiring
install intake
run pcv lines



does anyone know what the pcv line runs from? i know its from the valve cover to where? also, where does the iac air line go to?
soon the monster will live :twisted:
