I have the ZX3, the SVT wasnt even out when it was installed back in Oct 00.
Im not sure what size it is, but they fit perfectly, thats all I cared about. lol

Any concerns about melting that plastic?

No, if it didnt melt on a 6.5 hour drive, I dont think it will. The wires were ruff looking, but they were like that with the stock setup. Today, I re-wired the wires anyways, just to be safe.
PS...Andrew...My freind with the RS/WRX swap drove her today, and he said it pulls harder than his REX.
Boy, did that put a smile on my face. :D

That intake looks like it fits pretty nice in there. :)
P.S. let me know when you back in town, we can swap the piping/couplers and see about that downpipe if you want.

Yeah it worked out good when your not forced to use exact limited bends. :P :lol:
Youve been PM'd. ;)

I would still protct the fan plactic. Especially when you finally start driving it hard. That looks super close in there.
I commend you on all that work. Nicely done. I have a ton of respect for you guys that can take on a job like that.

Fan is fine like that, as long as the turbo is not touching it, and from that angle, it looks worse then it actually is.

Nice work guys. I take back everything I ever said bad a about your skills Jay.
Enjoy your new ride Flo.

My turbo is close to the fan too....
I think that plastic can take allot of heat tho...it may get brittle over time, but I don't think its anything thats going to say burn or cause problems in the short term.

That pipe is really tiny to, I could just imagine if we used 2" all the way threw....
Turbo Install Pics (updated, More Pics) - BerinG - 04-06-2005
yeah mine too is pretty close but yours might be a little closer than ours because of the stock manifold have an angle towards the block..
anywah the stock cat was right there before and enver caused issues, i dont think his turbo will caus any trouble.. you are driving at the same time, fan and air goes on it
it just can't touch it.. could arrange your stock heat shield too and keep that "look" ;)

One GREAT thing is that Nate doesn't have AC therefore 1 less fan..made it MUCH..MUCH easier to fit everything.

oh ok.. yeah that saves a few head aches...
my a/c is gone but the rad is still there with everything, it takes up space

Hey Flo how do you like the Diablo tuning. Thats the Rev chip right?
Also are you going to be doing wideband?

The tune is good for a mail order thing. Me and Tom still have some things to work out. My main goal right now is to get some sort of logger....Tom wants to see other things before i go on the dyno with the wideband hooked up.....
