Wanting opinions

spend a week visiting family &friends/prepping the car, then fresh tires, an alignment, shake down run/ring seating, around the town, then have at it, break downs only add to the fun. florida to washington would be an awesome road trip.

I'd love to visit Simon's shop. 2 things going against me: #1 I don't have a passport or one of those special driver's licenses. #2 I'm on my motorcycle and it get cold, rainy, and possibly snowy going up his way from what I understand....Not a good idea on a motorcycle. I'm sure during the summer it's absolutely gorgeous!

Bring your car and your 2psi boost and lets see! Chris would have to race his moped at this point! Good news is that Chris still has a job as of the union vote at work.

I'm focusing on my Masi project right now. It is the most immediate and most important. I'm hoping that by sometime this summer it will be running with the Masi engine. I mocked it up with my spare head and my intake last night to do fitment check of the radiator. Right now I don't know if I'm going to leave the radiator in the stock position, or if I'm going to tilt the top of it forward into the nose to gain more clearance between the intake and the fan. The Masi is a TIGHT fit in the front. The thing I'm struggling with is if I do decide to tilt the radiator, then I have to cut the vertical support for the upper radiator support and the hood latch. Since the hood latch is a safety item, and I'm not drilling holes in my stock hood for pins, I need to make sure it is still functional and strong enough to do it's job, especially since right at the front of the hood I believe is a low pressure area and it wants to lift the hood up anyway. I'm actually going to do some testing once I get the car running to determine this because my other reason for wanting more clearance is so I can duct the radiator exhaust air out the top of the hood. If I find this is possible in the area that I think it is, then I will embark on making my own hood. If not, then I'll just get one of the composite hoods that is available for Daytona's and leave it at that.

[Ondonti]

You did this fitment test with the thick bushings on the radiator? I don't use those on my Duster in order to get more space.

[Reaper1]

If I'm not mistaken your radiator is mounted on the sides. Mine is top mounted and sits basically as flush with the core support as possible in a stock configuration. I'm going to modify things and see if I can't tuck it in there a bit more, but I'm REALLY considering tilting the thing. It just makes so much more sense.

Neon radiator will fit pretty much where the condenser fits IIRC, if you don't want to keep the AC. If you do, you might be able to use the Neon condenser also.

[Reaper1]

I'll have to look into the Neon condenser, because yes, as much as it sounds stupid, I want to keep the A/C in this car because if I do drive it to events and such, it's certainly nice to have. On top of that, my condenser looks pretty crappy, but I've got to clean it up and inspect it before I decide to recycle it.

As for the Neon radiator, I don't think it is capable of handling 600+hp for over 20 minutes (I'm not drag racing, remember). Heck, I don't know that the TU aluminum one I have can do it! The thing is, I have it already, and radiators for larger applications that supposedly can do what I want are the same price. I'd rather go with what I've got first so I can get the car running, then if it needs changing later, do it then. After all, it's not going to be making 600hp+ out of the box! LOL

OK, this thread has gotten pretty far off track from where it was.

So, in order to keep the current discussion going and to not clutter this thread up any more, please go here: http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...ect#post981383 as this is really what we are currently talking about. Thanks!

And so, my turn in this car's saga begins...
