Your project is really coming along. Great job!

I know what you mean about secrecy and Renegade. I visited his shop in Vegas a couple of months ago and was amazed at some of the projects in his shop, but he holds his cards pretty close to his vest. He is also pretty proud of his work and insistent that he has the optimal solution, basically poo-pooing some of my ideas. But I really enjoyed the tour.

Did you consider reversing your intake manifold? See http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...83031&st=60 for details on what I'm doing for my Suby-powered 914...

Geoff

Well i am keeping A/C because i live in Arizona and its HOT here. So reversing the intake would mean losing my Compressor. I tried it and it works but no compressor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Check out this pic. This is a MOD to that same exact intake, it points straight up. Worked great on my last NA conversion. I still have it. Its unbelievable how much room i had underneath the intake when i MOdded it. Yeah keep me informed of your progress too......

I believe that i do NOT have the best solution, i am always open to input. Renegade does have that attitude though, which in my opinion kinda sucks. Someones engineering might be better, thats always a possibility (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Anyone have a LOW valance like this that i can hack up? I need to "blend" it around my heat exchanger in front. Think i am going below the opening in front. I want Ice cold A/C.

Maybe someone had a nice one and hit a curb so its cracked in the middle. I'll take it!

I have 916 front and rear bumpers that I will try to make look decent. Also if you ever go to the phase 2 style heads with the different intake port bolt pattern the 06 2.5i intake is a higher/bigger intake. I'm going to get one and see how it fits rotated.

We Have FINAL Heat Exchanger up front Position. That should definately allow a ton of air to radiator. I split it. Half of the heat exchanger air goes through the radiator and half goes underneath the car. (that way i wont bump it on curbs either)

Woo hoo! Thats one thats been in my brain forever to how it would look. Now to tear it down and start welding reinforcements. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Anyone have a Billet 350Z grill? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My Fuel Rail...much Simpler and serviceable if needed. Bigger diameter lines also for more flow if needed.

Not sure what you are planning on the filters. The plastic won't handle 45psi. Also the deal would be to run the fuel rails in parallel so one side doesn't see more volume/pressure than the other. Parallel feed to each rail then the rails go back together to the fuel pressure regulator then the return from the regulator to the tank or a surge tank then the tank. Hose clamps are a little shakey with high pressure fuel lines.

Oh my God you posted a photograph of the Renegade cradle! The Police are on their way! The Four Horsemen of the apocalypse have been released and a scourge of locusts are descending on your garage as we speak!

But seriously, keep up the good work...

the plastic filter is before the fuel pump (low pressure) and the metal one after the fuel pump. I know about running the fuel lines in parallel, but this is definately the cheaper way. I am running it the same way as stock because the stock fuel regulator actually slides into fuel injector rail and cant be used in that parallel setup without buying a whole new fuel regulator. But an easy change in the future since i have all an6 fittings now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
