I love progress!!
I don't think that there would be any issues with the IMRC cables using my EGR extension tube. The Stock EGR tube is in essentially the same place as it was before the swap, behind the bracket that the cables pass through and that the controller bolts to.Not bad, not bad at all
You will need that heat wrap though especially for the folks who decide to keep their IMRC plates operational as the cables will pass exactly through that area.
I've thought about that, however the forward fitting on the Cobra intake tube is only 1/2" OD (even though the other end is 3/4"), so there's not too much of a difference. Time will tell.Yeah, it looks like it will be ok, the wrap is a must though
Quick question about the PCV intake hose. Don't you think the reduced hose size might cause any build up inside the valve cover ?
The 03-04 cobra hose (that plumbs in the front of the cover) is the same size as the mark viii hose (in the rear).
I hated that when I did the swap on my old 95 M8.which is JUST going to be long enough.
Yeah, I'm going to look into later Cobra cables to see if any will work better.I hated that when I did the swap on my old 95 M8.
Not sure if the 01-04 cable mounts differently to the bracket, but it was plenty long on the WL.
Pretty easy actually, I bent the tubes up and forward a bit. I used scrap pieces of aluminum rod that were as close to the ID of the tube as I could find, being careful not to scratch the inside of the tubes.Interesting. How hard were they to correct? Did you just bend the mounting tabs or bend the tubes themselves?
Like that? 303 Stainless. Thanks!Hmm...nice crossover cap...
Anyway....did you send the crossover tube to Jet-hot also? Interesting...wouldn't have thought of that. How do they charge for stuff? Do they have to see the items first, and then give you a quote, or what?
Wanna stick some of those o-rings in the box with the Russell fittings?
Not that I can think of. I've got an Aeromotive p/n 14104 '96-'98 fuel rail that I'm planning to install on my Cobra a bit later, maybe I'll take it out and have a look. It would mean having to use a seperate fuel regulator and do quite a bit of plumbing and wouldn't be necessary on a N/A motor, but I'm sure that it would fit.Eh...doesn't seem TOO expensive...
Got a question...
Is there a disadvantage to using an aftermarket fuel rail? I've got a set of aftermarkets, and also a cobra fuel rail. I haven't figured out which I'm going to use yet...
