warning: lots of pics....


woooohoooooo! hehe, just got IC/adapter plate today. I'm embarased to say how little I paid for it. Basically just material and shipping, all courtesy of our own member here 'wiguy'. He was able to use my drawing in the CNC shop he works at and do it on his own time. Major kudos to you wiguy <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Thanks to OffRodEO too, for offering a backup to get it machined through a shop he deals with.

Here's a few pics:

Top and bottom plates.



They sandwich a 1.5" thick core for the IC. The half circle grooves in the two halves form the clamp for the hoses on the core when bolted together:




Similar deal with the port water injection nozzles. The nozzles press into the holes, pinching down the tube:





There is a hole and ports for PCV as well. On the stock SC, the PCV is part of the SC body. For the M112, I made provisions for it in the IC:





And finally:

Hope it fits under the hood <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> I am happy to say that the belt allignment looks good, and my drawing so far looks like it was nuts on for all the bolt holes and such but I'll find out later for sure. I did have to massage the core a little bit, but no biggie. The machining looks awesome on it too <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Now I can get to work on moving the coil pack, making the fuel rails, mounting the 2nd A/C compressor (where the coil pack was) and relocating the alternator up and out to clear.
