Default Wicked SC's Engine Bay Transformation; Finally Complete!!

What's up CL? It's been about 17 months now and the light at the end of the rainbow is finally here! The build is 95% complete, we hit the dyno on Thursday and the car performed great. We just have to sort out an issue with driveability, at low rpm's between 1K-2K rpm's there is a hesitation that needs to be tweaked. Other than that, the car runs strong.

I will edit this thread and post the video when the dyno video is complete, video is now being edited.

Dyno numbers are as follows:
848.28 on 30.XX psi
820.77 on 28.XX psi
751.63 on 25.XX psi

I'm very please with the performance and it has been a long time coming!
Here's some pics of the completed build!

OK, aside from the absolute awsomeness of that engine bay, I haz question. Why does your upper rad hose go to the right side of the engine? The waterneck on a 2JZ is on the left side....

Good catch! My set up is a NA head and a GTE shortblock so the water neck on a NA head is on the opposite side!

Very nice man. Always been a big fan of your car and work.

Where did you get an aluminum radiator that has the coolant outlet on the passanger side (where the upper rad hose connects to)? This is the first time I have ever seen that. Very cool.

That SC of yours needs some window tint, but even without it I'd have to say this is probably one of the best looking SC's on the CL forums, and I don't say that very often. Outstanding job!
