SWEET!

You'll notice I installed the Even Flow Cooling mod.......
Its really not hard to! I did make a few significant changes to the Head Fitting, but now it would be easy for all of you to accomplish this mod with my knowledge. Ill gladly make a post if there is interest.

Also I relocated the IAT sensor and replaced the Pro-M MAF and filter in favor of a BA3000, capable of supporting 650rwhp. The car is scheduled to be tuned by early next week. Cant wait to get the car out and driving :beer:

I Like the gloss black look of the VC.

Why the switch to the MAF?

A really beautiful engine - a work of art. Please post the even cooling mod for the Trilogy with pictures. I am sure many of us are interested in it.

Thanks,

Glenn :burnout:

Very nice. What did you do for the evenflow connection to the coolant crossover tube?

I used 1/2" o.d. weldable tubing and had it welded to the crossover tube.
I did NOT use a bung and a brass fitting.

Zack,
Excellent setup... I think it's the best looking engine I've seen...:up:
I'm not big on chrome and colorfull stuff...
What cleaning product do you use in addition to the Elbo Grease to keep that engine/area so clean...?
Thanks, Architect

I bought the car this clean, Ive just been maintaining it.

FYI... I use Baby Wipes to clean everything and a microfiber towel right behind them for a streak free shine :up:
...Im not joking!

Whats the difference between the SCT BA2800 & the BA3000?
Is it just larger...?
Is the resolution better...?
does it mount differently...?
I ask only cuz I have an SCT BA2800 new in box and Dennis suggested we use a different MAF.... not sure which one he's speaking of yet....
But the BA3000 maybe the one he is thinking... I assume the BA3000 is a new model not offered a year ago or so when I bought this one...(BA2800) from Dennis

Does that help prevent Road Rash?
