It's been quiet a journey so far, and I am a long, long ways away from being done with it. I still have lots of work left on it, but just this year I got it running again. I have to sway it's been a really enjoyable experience and I can't wait to see how far I can take this thing!

Anyways, I will be posting up some videos here soon.

Good stuff!

I never noticed you were air to water Ben! Any more pics on that setup? I am debating going that route with the 200.

I don't have any good pictures at the moment. I will try and snap some here soon for ya! Right now I am just using the AUX radiator off of a 90 so the system looks rather ridiculous. The current pump I am using is off of a Montana mini-van (the aux electric water pump for the rear heater). Overall, I don't think the Aux 90 Radiator is going to be up to the task once summer hits, so I am going to modify a Honda radiator to work as my heat exchanger/fill point. The nice thing is that a civic radiator fits nicely in front of the stock 4k rad.

Very cool! Where is the IC located?

Currently in front of the radiator, the IC blocks the lower part of the radiator just a tiny bit; but, fortunately so far it hasn't caused any cooling issues at all. Even if I let it set and idle for hours on end inside the shop.

I did take this while I was still getting things situated.

Awesome. Thanks for the pics!

No sweat!

any idea what numbers you are running with the holset?

I am not sure yet. I did take a stock 2007 STI multiple times without even breaking a sweat.

sweet, keep us posted!

Will do!

Boo! LOL. I'm back! Wheres the videos? I heard pictures weren't allowed on this forum, video only.

I am waiting for the VIMEO embed ability.

You are right there with us on the drool-worthy Ben! This car is sweet, looking forward to you turning up the boost and whatever else you have in mind. This forum is just full of bad influences. Sorry.

Nom! Love the videos.

Side note, how to we embed Ed????

Thanks Nick!

I have tried to embed it several different ways and I can't get it to work.

For Vimeo, insert only the video ID, not the whole URL. Wasn't able to get it working properly with the whole URL.

BTW if you hover your mouse on the vimeo button it tells you this

Sweet! Thank you Ed!

Always had a soft spot for 4kq's. My father used to rally one way back in the day. Love yours, such a clean build!
