nordic's welcome back thread!!!!

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

lol Yes you do, I need to make my way down to Texas and visit family so I can take a ride in your car.

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

Plugged the unused vacuum ports on the intake manifold.



And pieced together a kind of a bracket from old static test setup stuff at work. haha Also picked up some new fittings. Not pretty blue and red but they were $13 together so **** blue and red. lol

[Timothy James]

man you are a legend, i really want to give this a go now

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

And it's in. still need to measure and have new lines made though.



Also extended the evap line to under the car for now. Need to secure it though.

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

My big package showed up! Mizu radiator, hoses, fan shroud, and slim fans. There are a few bent fins, can I just bend those back with pliers? Regardless I got a great deal on this stuff and absolutely love it! Great quality!

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

Actually did something today lol

Installed some red LED's in the gauge cluster, love them! Should look great paired with my AEM digital gauges I'll get in a few months. Ended up cutting the evap line under the car behind the passenger cabin. Pulled the bumper off and deleted the windshield wiper fluid reservoir, squirters, and lower intake chamber thing from the stock intake. The radiator is draining as I type so I can pull that later or tomorrow. I'll be deleting the ac this weekend as well since the radiator will be out of the way. Yay! Picture tim3z!

Red



Firewall getting cleaner as time passes.



First time taking the bumper off.





All the crap I pulled out.

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

Goodbye stock rad and ac condenser.

[BISI_BB6]

Keep up the good work!! Looks great can't wait to see the finished product!!

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

^ Thanks man!

I was wondering about wiring the fans. I just pulled ac, if I press the ac button will the second fan turn on still? Or should I run my own switch or even wire it into the other fans harness? Just looking for some insight/opinions.

All of the ac stuff is out of the bay and I put in the new serpentine belt. Tomorrow I am going to buy a tension gauge and set the belts correctly. And I'll probably buy antifreeze and install the rad and new hoses. Some pictures of crap.

Bunch of crap and tools. lol



Bye bye AC.





The mighty torque pipe in use. (pp.com muscle shirt)

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

Car is all back together again! New rad is great, ended up removing 30lbs from the car. Love the rad hoses and battery as well.



I'll post better pictures of the car all washed and whatever in a day or two so stay tuned!

Looks good!!

Do you know how thick the radiator is?

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

Thanks!

Overall thickness is 2.47" and core thickness is 1.97". I went with it because I got a great package deal through a guy on preludepower and I know this radiator setup worked well with and fit with the turbo setup I am installing.

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

Ordered a lighterfaster carbon fiber sunroof plug and a few small things. Found some q clips for my yakima rack so I might throw my basket on the lude for ****s and giggles.

[That 01 BB6]

license plate has me wondering...is the pink something Washington offers? Me like.

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

It's actually Crimson red, WSU's school color. The flash and computer make it look pink.

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

Threw my pw:jdm carbon spark plug cover and pw:jdm spark plug wire separator on.

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

Installed Yakima q towers, 48" crossbars, stretch kit, loadwarrior basket, viper bike tray,and buttondown snowboard/ski carrier.

[That 01 BB6]

Is the Mizu radiator, fan shroud, and hoses a better setup than a Mishimoto setup? Or was this just a personal preference? I'll probably be popping on one of the two setups before track day in spring.

[NORDICNINJALUDE]

I'm fairly certain they are the same setup. I just got this because I got an amazing deal through a friend though.

I bought a turbo oil return line kit for the car today.
