@@MalcolmV8 btw I’m the guys from Facebook that messaged you about my car cutting out and going lean i just gapped my plugs at .30 today and that fixed it! Thank you for the advice you’re the man

@@modlist6129 anytime, glad you got it sorted out!

How do you not have WAY more subs bud?? Awesome video and channel 👏

[@MalcolmV8]

lol thank you. I think I need more exposure, need my videos shared and introduced to people. I think that'll kick start it.

Beautiful!

@@MalcolmV8 considering a supercharger for my foxbody!

[@MalcolmV8]

@@vrm86gt it's one of the most fun things you can do for it. We thoroughly enjoy it on a daily basis. The extra power and all the cool noises :) I did several videos on this from part 1 to part 4 which should give you a lot of background and info on the build.

Love the test drive giggles :) Nice work, Malcolm.

[@MalcolmV8]

Lol thanks, it’s so much fun seeing a build come together, can’t help it :)

[@joebroart]

Sweet stuff man! Love the channel. Would like to see how she does against the track hawk and coyote again 😎

[@MalcolmV8]

Yes that'll be a fun rematch once it's all ironed out :) I can't wait to see how that plays out.

​@MalcolmV8 is that a vortech intake??

[@josephsites9118]

Have you thought of a wastegate and boost controller on the IC pipes to control boost?

[@MalcolmV8]

Yeah we've seen cars setup like that but there's no need on this particular one. Usually when people need more boost down load they'll put a smaller pulley on the blower to create boost sooner and then use the waste gate to bleed boost off top to stop from over boosting. This setup is sized just right for the application and boost is coming on quickly and nicely so we haven't gone that route at this time.

[@josephsites9118]

What size pipes and what size silicone couplers did you get?😊

[@MalcolmV8]

I believe it's all 2.5". We had to use a reducer down from the blower as it was slightly larger. 2.75" as I recall.

[@josephsites9118]

For the piping, where did you get the lip bead roller?

[@MalcolmV8]

Found that one at Jegs. www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/80083/10002/-1

[@jplperformance9073]

Tubular radiator support?? Where did you get it

[@MalcolmV8]

Motion Raceworks.

[@fishy2k8]

Which treadstone intercooler is this?

[@MalcolmV8]

TRV185 SERIES

[@fishy2k8]

@@MalcolmV8 do you have any footage showing bumper fitment / air flow with the way it’s mounted. I’ve been measuring up mine to do something very similar and stumbled on your video. Great job with your stuff !

[@MalcolmV8]

@@fishy2k8 thanks, mostly just what you see in the videos. There's a few videos of this 90 on the channel, cooling upgrades etc. You may see some angles in some of those that you're looking for. I can say the airflow seems to be very good as even on the hottest summer days it's keeping the IATs in check very nicely. We are very happy with the install.
