$600 (2-231 assembly)... the reservoir tank is costing me $ too... trying to get a 5-6qt capacity tank to fit. It'll probably cost me about $1200 by the end of this project... LOL...

Good job.

I think that will look really cool.

BTW.. is that an oil catch can attached to the crankcase?

Doesn't the oil catch can connect to the breather hose area but you have another line where it is going?

Sweeeeeet!

Now we just need someone to figure out a way to circulate the coolant through/around the A/C condensor like the new Lightning Super Cooler does.

Slimer... still waiting on that pic...

Bags... yes that's a GReddy catch can but it may come out soon.

Spanishrice... it goes to the CAI in front of the V2.

Ice... I'm gonna try some Peltier (sp?) coolers in a custom built box/heatsink. But I did think about running a hose to the cold refrigerant section above the V2 (too complicated though).

Week 2 - tentative fitting...

Oddysey 13 lb battery laid down flat...


Tight for AWIC (and all the water fittings and piping)...


I'll start on the I/C piping next week... hopefully the water reservoir tank will be done at the fabricator.

Why did you go with little battery instead of trunk battery? I think you should have pleny of room in there once you remake the new piping. How big(volume) is the water reservoir tank?

I have an identical battery that i will run in parallel with this one... Plus I live in SoCal so we don't have harsh winters. The reservoir tank will be 5-6 quarts. That should be a huge "heat sink" with a lot of thermal inertia even for extended boost runs. (as if i really do that, LOL)

You still intend to run a small air/water cooler, right?

Something like an oil/tranny cooler might work.

Yep... the heat exchange is a B&M type oil cooler... I already bought a 11"x8" that will be mounted like an oil cooler.
