Yeah. That would be better, but... I don't have my pump and manifold up here at college. So I'm looking for a cheap fix till this summer. And if it works well I won't fix what's not broke. Going to look for the pc7 stuff and if I don't find any, I'm JB welding it.

JB weld can fix anything....except cracked timing covers on fail caviler z24's.
How does one crack a timing cover. Was it the 2.4?

Nice interheater. Gotta keep those IAT's high you know. Dangerous horsepower is dangerous.

Agreed. It's for stealth, not performance. What could possibly feel worse than getting your *** handed to you by a seemingly stock miata?

AIT's are 5-10*F hotter than ambient in cruise, rising 2-6*F in full boost. With A/C on, add 30*F. I ran a mustang GT a few days ago with the A/C on, shifting at 5K. Still waxed his *** and stayed cool doing it.

Lowes don't have the PC7 stuff. Didn't check wally world.

I JB welded it a little while ago. Gonna let it setup and tomorrow I'll sand and add some more cause a lot of it dripped off. Hope this works. Checked wal-mart and they didn't have the PC7 stuff either. JB's never let me down, so I have faith.
