I take it back. The car is on the back burner budget wise.

Today I took out the remaining A/C lines. Got some aluminum stock to make a new mounting bracket for my coolant overflow. Going to move it into the hole on the drivers side. this way I can cut near the radiator to fit the ic pipe (trying to go for shortest routing.) Working tomorrow night too. So im sure ill be doing something then. Maybe I get the tank mounted in the new location. Im also thinking of doing a small wire tuck and get all the rubbish wiring that I have done. Going to try and clean up the engine bay as best I can.

Got some little stuff done today. Made the brackets for the IC, Test fit the intercooler. (still waiting one couplers), Took out the A/C evap can, removed the A/C condenser, moved the PS line to fit the IC, and mounted the coolant tank in the new location. Didnt have my phone with me so I couldnt take pics. Tomorrow I should be moving stuff out of the way (cutting) So ill mount it up and take a pic.

Battery died yesterday... left the SC switch on and it killed the batt. Thats the only think i can think of. Jumped it today and drove it to work. Seems ok now. Im still waiting for my damn 90* elbows.

Also thinking about doing a mild truck bed liner for the engine bay.

[FLIPOTTAWA]

Ill email you pics of the powder coating when it comes back. should be in the next week or soo. 2 week turn around.

as for the protege ecu pin out. waiting for my workshop manual to download.

Plus found out one of my buddies works for mazda soo im getting to look into it

 

[HKPRO5]

Awesome. Im working on my IC now. Fitting it between the crash bar and the radiator. Since I took out the AC condenser

I'm surprised it took me this long to find this thread. Hahaha.

 

[HKPRO5]

lol


So it looks like I'm going to have to make another outlet piece on the supercharger to accommodate the new intercooler setup. Not sure if I posted it here yet but I will be placing the IC core between the crash bar and the radiator. (a/c con. Deleted) trying to make the pipes fit like the Perrin/ turbolife cold and hot pipes.

 

[HKPRO5]

Ok took the bumper off (have it secured with metal ties for easy removal for the next couple of weeks) Mocked up the intercooler core, marked my cuts and made up the intercooler brackets. Tomorrow Ill be cutting into the metal and maybe getting the outlet pipe situated. Its hard working nights when I want to get all this stuff done. lol

Also still not sure if im going to use a 90* silicone hose or a straight hose with a 90* pipe. Well see how it goes tomorrow. As for the powersteering line, I will relocated it between the IC and the radiator.

 

[HKPRO5]

Got the bumper off again, turns out 8am is too early to cut metal..... lol Anyways Ran out of time. Looks like im going to have to do this at work on the weekend. Get the Sawzall and cut s*** up. Once this is over with the next on the list is getting the outlet of the SC to the hot side of the IC. Then getting the cold pipe set up while getting the BOV placed. good times

 

[HKPRO5]

Deleted the power steering cooler. Now I dont have to cut into the crash bar. (more safe! lol

Should be doing some cutting this weekend.
