Progress update!

[koabi at seeohdee.com (Koabi Brooks)]

Yes Cathy, the AC was eliminated because the engine's cooling is more
important than my own :)  It's Ko-ah-bee, for the record.  Thanks for the
offer though, Don.

Details:

ABA OBDI 2.0 bottom end, 1.8 16v head, with STILL unknown cams.  Ford Tbird
T3 .60/.48.  G60 engine management for the time being.  The pistons are 83mm
(IIRC) 9:1 "ABF" JE forged pistons.  Rods and crank is stock ABA obd1
stuff...  I hope to eventually see in the ballpark of 250hp to the wheels
(at 1 bar) but I really have no idea.  Whatever it ends up being, it should
be fun.  One side note is I did put ~5 miles on this car without an
intercooler.  It had a sizeable boost leak and I had no valve on the line to
the wastegate actuator - the car was actually fairly slow like that.  So
hopefully after this plus corrected issues the car will put down good power.

David, you could probably do this without killing the AC if you reroute the
AC lines to around the strut tower (between the tower and the pass fender)
and if you do water intercooling.  I seriously considering doing something
like this, but the "easy" way out won.

Don, somehow I'm thinking that  the photo from the front clearly shows why
it had to die. As in, he "put it down" for "other" cooling needs.... Am I
right on that Koabi? (And how do you pronounce your name?) cathy
