Why did you end up going with A/W intercooler? I'm really in a toss up, I think the A/W might be better on the street, but the added complexity and weight I'm not sure makes the trade off worth while. What did you come up with on your search?

The new 2.4 with GT3071R will overpower my current system (390cfm capacity) easily. I wanted an A/A but could not figure out how to package it well, until Wally showed pics of his system. That is the way to go about but I will have to redesign my intake plumbing. Sandeep |

Update
I've stripped the frame of everything that was rusted out and removed the front and rear suspension.
I'm building a proper 915 front mount now ... something that looks factory and will confuse the techs if I ever have the car up on a lift. I plan to use the stock trailing arms (refurbished) with urethane bushings and dipped (zinc chromate) stock spring plates. I think I have found a coilover (QA1) to use with relaxed trailing arms but will have to check if they fit. I need to strip the rear arms and prepare the chassis for a coat of POR15 ... hope to do that this weekend. Sandeep Last edited by Sandeep; June 27th 2008 at 21:40. |

How much 'massaging' did you have to do in the crotch area to fit the 915 in there?
Also Sandeep, do you have pics of your A/W setup? |

I'll take some pics of the 'crotch area' but I notched it enough not to harm the torsion bar area. The 915 bellhousing surface sits about 6mm further to the rear than the stock gearbox, no adapter parts for the 915 required as I built all the peices myself.

Christmas break update
Having 2 week off really helped
I welded up the pans and sandblasted them, and then acid etched with phosphoric acid. Some POR15 .. And then some "tie coat" primer And then two coats of Tremclad yellow to closely match the body |

I'm almost done the top now, just waiting a few days for the POR15 to cure before adding the tie coat primer and tremclad yellow.
Then I can start assembling the pan Sandeep Last edited by Sandeep; December 31st 2009 at 14:51. |
