Congratz Eddie!
I am looking forward to seeing the blower in person.
I won't be able to make it to Caffeine and Octane this Sunday.
Will you be at the next FPCOA meeting next Tuesday?

I gave you a call yesterday Mike no answer!


Ok so the blower did NOT get installed for a few reasons. For one, it took about 1 1/2 hours to find a bit and thread for the fitting on the oil return line, nobody seemed to have them and my friend thought he had one originally. Once we did find that, we couldn't get the drill at a good angle or a safe one to drill a straight hole, the hole would have been at an angle and that would have been no good. So I ended up putting the car back to stock and I have to regather information. I may end up paying a shop to do it or atleast get someone that is capable of drilling the return line hole in the timing chain cover without butchering it. I was pretty bummed but how I look at it is everything happens for a reason! I will be calling around tommorow getting quotes from local shops, what sounds like a reasonable install price?

from where your at man, why not just pull the cooling fan and radiator. Hardly any more work but will give you all the room you can need. That stuff pulls very easy.

Cameron, yes I texted you about them earlier. Text back!

JD even by removing the radiator and fan I still won't have an angle, it's the AC compressor that doesn't allow you to get a straight angle.
