as I understand it, you only increase the man mojo if you have 2 or more styles and/or colors of zipties and at least one of the zipties is holding something heavy/hot up.

my minivan has neon yellow, black, clear, and orange colored zip ties holding the cruise control to the battery box as well as what was left of the underhood wiring harness together (yay for previous owner!), on that note, my buddies '66 stang has big black zip ties from it's previous owner holding the exhaust in the back up =D

Hmmm... I believes me would get the stoppage devices working before becoming bored enough to create a Pepsi & Duct Tape go-faster device. By the way, what is up with the multiple yellow and red zip ties on the corrugated covered line?

No ill intended...

The zipties were put on by the previous owner I have not really touched anything under the hood on this car yet.Im going to tackle under the hood once i get the important stuff done(brakes,gas leak).I also have to mount the rad properly which is currently held in by zipties lol.I have already had to deal with a bunch of stupid things with this car it's in my progress thread

ya bout that spot u got ur intake, about a week ago i was washing daytona at the wash and at the front of the building was a bigazz puddle i drove around it smart right!! well i guess another guy who i just happened to meet that day well he drives a turbo tona and well he drove through the puddle !!! lets say it wasnt pretty he had his intake right on the turbo and well if it sucks air, it sucks water and that it did!!!! his stock intercooler and bov were just filled !!! he unhooked the intake that goes to the engine from IC and reved it to like 6000 and lmfao water was shot about 20ft out of the intake it lookd like a seadoo out of water!! after that it wouldnt idle properly and well thats the last i seen of it!!! so my advice to turbo baron if u done want to kill ur engine make sure the water will not splash up or u know what will happen !! HYDROLOCK!! i think thats what its called!!

nice job on the custom build but i did make a custom CAI on my old honda civic and when i hit a puddle man vapor lock sucks lol so stay away from lakes and rivers and youll be fine
still nice work though def. points on the man mojo lol

I believe the more hose clamps on rad/heater hoses decreases your chances of said Hose Balloning under the great pressure of new found Cold air )

vapor lock is when your fuel vaporizes within the fuel line, and generally is not seen on fuel injected cars (not fun but OK), but hydro lock is the one that isn't good and puts frowns on car owners faces

i might be wrong, but I believe that you have to suck up a considerable amount of water to actually cause hyrdro lock

Ill take pics of my intercooler set up when I get it done!
I have an 88 conquest intercooler and a junkyard full of hose!
Then comes the aem filter I pulled off of an eclipse for my CAI!
Should be pretty sweet =)

Update on the ghetto CAI. My PCV system is working awsome now. I also hacked out my cat and the car runs like a dream.
