Now... with boost turned up to 8-9psi and the 370cc injectors flowing a good chunk of fuel.. and the engine not blowing up... who knows ?!?

Why build one when you can build two at twice the price?
Here is the 'other' CL. I mounted the intercooler today

One question though, what all had to be moved to get the FMIC in. Did the horn need to be relocated?? And what about that "thing" on the back of the bumber, that big hunk of metal bolted up for some unknown reason??

The IC actually fit in really well... like Acura had it in mind when they were designing the front end!
Cool, thanks.
I'm going to go to a larger heat exchanger (I beleive a VW radiator) for my liquid/air IC and wanted to confirm what I already thought.

It's interesting how my front vibration dampener (NVH ?!?) was mounted quite differently from
BlueCLS6's. In the end it all looks the same with the bumper on!

Allmotor and Blue, those two cars are fawking awesome. Much respect to you two and Scalbert for all this insanely cool modding to these cars. When I buy a 6mt, I'm taking out n additional loan to get a turbo and I'll drive that puppy out to Cali to have all this shit done. Deal ? :wink:

The height is off and the bottom part (tip) is too wide (by about 1mm) to fit into the injector boss - let me see what RC has to say. I will still install the kit w/o them.

RC Engineering now tells me that they don't offer injectors for our car. 5 months back when I was ordering these things they said they DID offer injectors for our car... what a bunch of morons! If I don't find anybody else offering injectors we have to try AIC as the other option.

We may need to get an extra unit to have sent off.

Well, RC just e-mailed me back saying I have to 'modify my fuel rail' to make the injectors fit - they don't even slide into the injector boss!!
If we don't find suitable injectors, then an additional injector might be the only solution here...

Go to page PDF page 232 (Catalog Page 230).
If this doesn't work than we may need to look into some Bosch units. I don't remember what ours look like.
You didn't happen to take a picture of one while it was out??
