RB is running

Ok. I have started the RB and it sounds great. I could not install the nice 500.00 intake manifold without doing mods I was not wanting to consider. Next to install the intercooler and piping,,, looks like I am going to have to install the air mass as a blow through so this may get a little interesting.
Oh,,, on HYbrid Z some people have posted that the RB will bolt right in... Bull... it will bolt in but does not sit in the car correct. I have taken pictures as I have gone and will make a web page of my findings on our website... www.upstatezclub.com

Looking good bill I am glad your doing on on your own car so by the time i make it to my duty station witch looks like ft brag in NC you will be able to do a rb25 in mine. cant wait to see yours done, its looking great. By Zdayz this up incoming year im going to have my own rb-monster... heheh

Hey i was also wondering how complicated would it to be to do a 5 lug wheel hub conversion, im having a hard time fining a rim for the 4 lug thats any wider than 7.5 and i was hoping to put about a 10 inch in the rear and a 8 up in the front,

talk with you soon though bill him getting about 20+ days leave in about 4 weeks im hoping hehehe
