Finally after putting off assembling all the pieces together for almost 2 years... LOL

I still have the coolant reservoir tank to fab but GT Fabrications does some very nice work.

crappy phone camera pic:

 

Props man, that looks real good, looks strictly business.

 

Geez chunger, I remember you showing me that piece waaaayyyy long ago.

 

Whoa I didn't even know Chunger was around anymore. Lookin good on the AWIC.

 

LOL, i thought he fell off a long time ago.. Nice work though

 

Nice, can't wait to hear about some results.

 

I'm a lurker not a lover... oh wait... that's not right...

Hoping a zero loss of boost because I got rid of that 'stock' 90 hose right off the Vortech now and the drop across the core should be minimal. This will be my last project lol. Yeah... really.

 

Awesome! Congrats. Do you happen to have a dual channel temp gauge?

You should come to Stillen day, and/or the Quality Nissan car show coming up early next month. It would be great to meet you and see your car!!

What are the specs on your AWIC?? More info!

 

Turbonetics/Spearco 2-231 AWIC 10.12"X4.5"X4.5" core assembly... 2.75" piping....a Johnson waterpump with a (approx) 2 gallon reservoir and B&M 11X8.5x1.5" front heat exchanger...yada yada yada... I'm only running a 3.12" pulley ATM.

I don't know if i'll be able to make it to the Stillen event...

 

LOL.. I think that was the large FMIC that I was going to use before reading about all the boost loss... How are you doing Larry?! Send me the OLD SCHOOL MEET info if you are going....

 

Nice. Welcome to the AWAC club. What is your boost loss? I suspect about 2PSI. Where are you putting your water/ice reservoir? Do you have a pic. of your reservoir? Can you post a pic of your heat exchanger too? Looks good, nice install.

P.s. Is that your BOV coming off the aftercooler???

 

Finally took some decent photos... i have not dug up the one of the reservoir but it is in front of the front tire...about 2 gallons...

 

Awesome. Congrats again. Looking good. Can you address the questions Ptatohed and I have? Thanks.

 

I posted the specs on the core above and the pic of the front heat exchanger is the last pic above and the BOV is mounted on the end tank as the picture shows. As for the boost loss, i could only guess. The core is large and piping 2.75" and there is virtually no additional piping so I'm guessing no boost loss (I got rid of that restrictive 90 degree off the Vortech). If i missed a question let me know.

 

^^^Thanks. Do you have a boost gauge? If so, what does it read at peak boost? I suspect a 1psi drop or so.

 

I have no boost gauge so i'm not boosting...

 

Hi Chunger, your new setup looks good! when are you dropping a 2.XX" midget in? Where do you keep on finding room in your engine bay??? Did you end up using a smaller battery, or did you relocate it?

 

I'm using a battery isolator combiner; yellowtop and PMJ680 under the AWIC....

 

Nice. Good job.
