Finished the exhaust last night:

Had a friend mock up and weld it for me.






Painted it with high temp paint:


and the final product:

 

You're welcome! glad I could help and glad you got it up and running. The extra time you spent cleaning/painting parts definatly paid off, that looks very clean!
The exhaust looks very good too, I used the same muffler initially but it ended up being too loud for my taste.
Can't wait to see the car with some flares on it, will look great with those wheels.

 

Gonna Be Loud!!

 

Even with the corksport resonator and the magnaflow muffler, it is a bit on the loud side. But I love how it sounds.

 

great job on the swap and the write up! i am currently doing a five lug conversion swap with a 2nd gen subframe into a 1st gen i will have pics of my swap and a write up. its always nice to fall back on this if i get stuck

 

Put the Rikens on with Falken Ziex 512's

The wheels are 14" 4x110 +10 and the tires are 205/60





Then I put on new tokico blues and suspension techniques lowering springs. I also started changing over some of the bushings to polyurethane, right now just the end links and sway bars, but it already feels like night and day in handling.

Here are some pictures of the front end after lowering it.

 

New pictures! Planning on putting the fender flares on very soon.

 

looking good!

 

Thank you! As I said before, looking at doing the fender flares in the near future, and taking care of some of the body work.

Also putting 750cc secondaries in later this week! She's coming right along.

 

really awesome job! congrats.

 

It's been awhile since I've updated, so I figure should.

The flares have been put on recently:




I used well nuts and press-fitted them directly into the fenders, so they could easily be bolted on and taken off. (since paint and rust repair is happening in the near future, and I wanted to make the process as professional and easy as possible)

As far as drivability, over the course of the last few months my clutch has started slipping, but that is to be expected on a used clutch with more boost. So I'm getting a stage 3 in the near future as well as putting in a LSD rearend.

Still coming right along

Questions, comments?

 

Need more pics with the flares on! Glad it's working out for you!

 

 

love the flares! are you happy with the swap?

 

Very nice! At this point and time, how is the boost creep? Did you put the new injectors in and how were the results? Have you had it on a dyno or done any time trials?

 

I haven't had any leaning issues as result to creep because I put the 750cc secondaries in. They've been working great, they're from RC Racing and I've been tuning fuel with SAFCII. I do however plan on porting the internal wastegate in the near future as precautionary thing.

I have not dyno'd it yet, or take it to the track unfortunately. My next investment is a new clutch so I can have some fun down at the track. (The stock clutch that came with the engine is starting to slip in 4th and 5th past 5k rpms on high boost)

But overall, its been very streetable and I'm looking forward to adding more and cleaning more up.

 

very cool... glade to see another t2 FB out there!!! BRAAAPPP!!!!!
