For clarification.

I haven't tried the graphted Alta sprayer yet. Made the little aluminum perch to position the spray in the center of the IC and also to clear the nipple from the radiator hose below...

More pics?

The #'s look impressive. Can someone post pics showing the front of a DFIC-equipped car, straight on from the front, with hood closed. I want to see how things look as you look into the Ram intake from the front.

Thanks

We are still trying to catch up with the deliveries to the customers that have already paid . Hell i had to give up mine for the white Cosworth car LOL . In any event the good Dr. is being patient as everyone else will have to be. At least we do have some good responses of those that were delivered to the Dragon so that is better than just me talking it up LOL .

As for lower than ambient temp that was discussed quite a bit in another thread and earlier in this one. File it under amazing but true

You can laugh at the blurry pictures of my new H2O/Meth plumbing that was needed for the new DFIC...

Don't know who will be laughing at what's in this engine bay, nothing funny in there, all business. Glad I could check it out in person.

I should clarify...the meth injection has been in my Mini for many month and IS NOT needed for the DFIC. What I meant to say is that I had to modify my mounting brackets and plumbing to be in harmony with the DFIC. If you look at the first image on page one, my previous mount was just dangling in space as it was attached to the Alta IC. Because the DFIC is much more compact, the modified solenoid mount is now attached to the IC boot clamp and the pressure gauge has been moved from the cowl to be integrated to the solenoid. I had the pressure gauge outside temporarily to monitor the pressure and operation of the pump. Now that I know everything is working as plannned...no need for it to hang outside for kids to yank on

LOL...Want a good laugh? Check this out...razz: At the risk of embarrasing myself...here are the perpetual pile of so called tools that lies in front Msfitoy...I spend more time looking for crap (plenty of cursing) trying to figure out how to make do than actual fabrication lol:



Here the indispensible vise I keep talking about...Everything I've made are cut to shape (on the floor!) from scrap aluminum stock with a hacksaw then filed to shape I wasn't kidding about my "Taliban Gun Shop"
