ubber sweet dude! Very Tastefully done.

 

that is the coolest engine stand i have ever seen

 

if you just look at the top of the page you posted in then you would have seen the Greddy EBC

 

hee hee, I knew it. I was just too lazy to go back to the begining and read. Anywya's, nice writeup

BTW, have you thught about a hybrid? The turbo shop that did mine charged $160 for the to4 compressor wheel and housing setup. Another $25 for clipping. Way more power over stock

 

have thought about it, but power is not my goal at this moment.
first reliability, in the future i will be pushing more power out of it

 

Such a sweet ride.

I eventually would love to have one like that

 

been pretty busy today en things are starting to fall into place

received some more goodies
Sard fuel pressure regulator and Greddy Radiator cap


Flex-a-lite Black Magic electric fan


some gaskets


alternator relocation bracket is finished


starting the buildup again, and mounted the following parts:
- alternator
- lower intake manifold
- turbo
- waterpump
- oil metering pump

 

More more more!

 

(drooling)

 

sweet, need new vids when it's back together...

 

sweet project! I almost wish we had winters so I could justify this much down time

 

started removing all emissions




mounted the turbo heat shielding


replaced the OMP lines


replaced the OMP injector hoses with silicone.
also capped off some vacuum connections. only one left is for my Sard fuel pressure regulator

 

wat paint did u use to paint everything??

 

i used Motip heat resistant paint and varnish. i holds up to 650 degrees (celcius)

 

I saved about all of those pictures, nice build up furb. I'm looking forward to much more!

 

another update:

engine is almost ready to be put back in, only thing is, i'm still waiting for the car to be picked up to get the enginebay painted...

progress since last time:

- mounted the oil feed line
- mounted injectors and fuel rails
- fuel lines
- alle emissions removed
- hooked up the wiring loom, with some minor adjustments
- did the throttle body modification






also some new stuff on the way:
ACT extreme-street clutch
Front mount intercooler

 

Looks amazing there furb. I really dig the way everything looks.

 

Very nice!

 

time for some new stuff...

mounted the apexi afc


ECU wiring kit, so i can hook up all the electronics without damaging the stock wiring loom


new ACT extreme clutch


720cc injectors


new steering wheel with snap/off


Front mount intercooler



intercooler core is already mounted in place and i adjusted the bumper to make it all fit nice and tight

 

what style of body kit is that, i have the same size intercooler and it looks like it fits around the intercooler perfect. Doesnt look like you had to mod the bumper that much

 

its the original Gp-Sports kit.
i had to cut about 8cm from the back of the center duct to make it fit.
but thats just the core, so for the piping its needs more work...

 

I was wondering what to do with my old, falling apart ashtray under the radio! I'm totally copying you and re-locating my s-afc, making room for the new stereo receiver and my-own made carbon fiber backing. Looks beautiful man, but did I see some dust collecting on that paint? tsk. tsk. lol! Can't wait to see it all together!

 

LOL

yeah i found it to be the best place to put it.
and when you rest your hand on the parking brake, you can easily reach the buttons which is also practical.

i made a plate of sheet metal that just slides into place where the ashtray used to be, following the edges of the dash so it fits nicely without any gaps.
then i mounted the afc with some double sided sticky tape

 

front bumper is now back in place and cut to fit the intercooler and piping

 

Looks beautiful, and thanks for the updates.

One question though: It looks like only about 65% of that IC core is going to see any airflow (as is) why not go w/ a smaller core and reduce pressure drop/ lag ?
