RUF intercooler re-do, clean up and replumb project
 

1) Glass bead blasted the RUF intercooler - took 1.5 hrs - P21S wax on top
2) Cleaned up wiring for the RPM full boost enrichment delay switch
3) Adjusted the WUR to lower the warm control pressure for a bit more rich in the midrange
4) NAPA has a silicone paste which is ideal for sealing the IC rings
5) Rerouted/replumbed the 'IC in' temp sender from the air cleaner to the IC inlet

She-it.......hang on, pics aren't working........

Ah.. craig! come on man...... you need to sort that technical shee-it out brother ;) hahaha!

damnit, I got blue balls now.

Very nice...I need to pick up some of that Syl Glyde...as I'm sure my fittings are dry...

did you clear the IC after blasting it? I would suggest it as it won't stay clean for long.

Yeah, that was in my thoughts.

Which clear brand/type?

what did you end up doing with the innercooler you bought?

Dan

Craig,
did you bail on the Blown Six?

Looks like it - I bought EVERYTHING to install it - I mean every piece of OE Porsche parts required.......and due to the rearward placement of my particular engine it just flat out does not fit/clear the rear structure. Aaack...

Who wants a complete BlowSix 965 IC setup?

Time to tube frame the rear ala a 935. Your teetering on the edge anyway, right?

I have the BlownSix right here.....it is a damn shame I can't install it.
On the edge is right ;-)

Hey Craig,

Are you really going to get rid of your 965 IC? I might be interested.

David

I'm pretty certain.
What emission/cold start stuff do you still have?

Craig,
Interested in your intercooler as well.
Is your G50 shortened?

Dan

Craig, too bad about the intercooler. I had been wondering when you were going to install it.

Roughly how far rearwards is your engine versus stock?

You said you waxed your intercooler. I did something similar to my intakes after bead blasting them and their appearance has stayed static since last fall and still no water stain marks. So far so good.

Edit: Is your breather hose to the oil reservoir kinked or is it OK. It looks like it may be kinked in the first picture.

I found that just krylon clear works pretty well. I have even done a light dusting of silver from 14-16 inches away then apply clear 5 minutes later and it look like a stock aluminum casting. works really well
