Tore into the 3900, Heaps of pics.

[v6h.o.]

Yeah.... I know... I'm fucking retarded. LOL. 1500kms on the 3900 and I'm already taking parts off the engine to look at stuff. I can't help it. I'm a 60degreev6 nut. Inquiring minds want to know whats under that plenum and what it looks like. Next time I get the car to myself (when the woman isn't driving it) for a good whole day or more, I'm pulling the plenum and lower and doing some port matching. Or even the heads too and doing some port and polish work to them. (I do port work as a side job eh)

here is the pics.

















































Undercarrage shots of the engine and 6spd manual















Exhaust ypipe








Heaps of room for a CAI down here at the drivers front lower corner. Best part is you CAN make it fit in there and be beside the rad so your not pulling radiant heat.








engine oil cooler that runs off the filter housing.




transmission mounts front and rear




intermediate shaft on the trans

But, then again, I've never had a toy I kept stock for very long. My mother hated me for that!

Sounds good Jordie!

That "Y" pipe looks AWFUL restrictive. Can only imagine how much good opening the exhaust up on something like that is gonna do. Looks neat!

[El_Diablo]

i was thinking the same thing when i looked at the pix earlier but i guess if forgot to post it

(note to self: GET MORE THAN 3 HOURS OF SLEEP TONIGHT YOU DUMBASS! )




you could prolly get a nice lil increase with just a Y pipe

Did you see what they did with that exhaust? Why didn't I think of that???

[ikessky]

That's awesome Colin! My wife would be pissed at me if she caught me tearing the new car apart!

In regards to the spot for the CAI, my '01 Century has a huge area like that where a CAI would fit perfectly. All I have to do is find some time to make up a heat shield and I will be in business.

And so it starts. hehe, can't wait to see what else you do with it. Other than matching the ports I don't think you'll be able to do a lot with that upper though. It's too convoluted. Perfect candidate for extrude honing maybe? Lower should be like normal though.
