Whoa, that's fantastic dude! I didn't know you were moving to supercharge your Tib.
Just to confirm, is that a beta II manifold that has been reshaped to fit the intercooler? The fabrication is looking shcmicko.

Put the low-pro tires back on yesterday, too warm for studded.
Both drivers side valve stems suffered catastrophic failure when attempting to remove the caps, which was fixed by replacing the stems with new ones.
Tomorrow I get the pass side done as preventative maintenance.
It feels SO good to have my full lock-to-lock steering back! Tighter turn radius =awesome.
Now to get the coilovers in sometime soon.
Manifold needs to be machined some more before I can weld the mount plate on, but it's getting there.
It is indeed a Beta II manifold, off a cvvt engine. I decided it would be easier to work with than screwing around with a sheet metal intake and all that happy horse crap...

Pulled a Beta II head this morning, so I should be good to go for solid tappets when I do my timing belt in another month or so.

Yesterday was spent removing the clutch from an AC compressor in order to adapt it to the jackshaft setup I'll be using.
Things are getting there...

More progress!
The clutch drive is starting to take shape, but still needs a few more hours of cad work before I can fully machine it.
As far as the manifold goes, I've spent most of the day in Inventor working out how everything is going to piece together.
I've worked out a much easier way to route the coolant to the outside world, and solved a few mounting constraint issues as well.
Sorry there's not any eye candy, but I'm stealing seconds away from putting the coolant passages in the mounting plates and running flow calculations...

is that intercooler able to flow enough air evenly to all cylinders? it looks like 1&4 would be obstructed by the end tanks for the water to air-...
also does the intercooler have enough depth for the boosted air to provide a significant cooling effect?
more pics!!!!!
