The Mite
Part :59
Air intake, removing lowering blocks and Some Pictures
 |
I fabbed an aluminum tube intake to draw air into the turbocharger |
 |
I'll polish it up and get a bigger filter in a while |
 |
I also need to insulate the tube from the hot turbo. It gets pretty warm being so close to the exhaust and elevates the intake temps |
 |
Some pictures of the engine compartment. The cover is still off the fuse block because the wires that hook the Electromotive Tec 2 to the laptop are running through the firewall. |
 |
The Turbo has been wrapped in high-temp turbo insulation to keep the heat off the intake and off the inside of the fiberglass bonnet. There's still a little work to do.. |
 |
Need to finish the cover over the pedals, probably black crinkle coat. And place rubber plugs in the holes in the dash and in the side of the pedal box. |
 |
And a radiator overflow/surge tank needs to be installed. |
 |
I also removed the lowering blocks that were on the back of the car. After a little driving, the back was just a bit lower than the front, so I pulled the blocks out. I will trim the bottoms of the U-Bolts next. |
 |
Another shot of the rear suspension without the lowering blocks. Below are some pictures from the end of the street. The Mite still needs a good cleaning, a polish and swirl remove, and more tuning. |
