thanks, I'm diggin' it so far They are RE pullies and thank goodness I can finally take the bulky bottom one off cause the p/s is no more!!! After I get my intercooler piping back from being beed rolled it's on to mocking up the alky injection system and then on to battery relocation after witch engine dowl pin time and lapping Then tuning then done!!!

 

Didn't you buy the lt8 from me?? I cant remember.. But that the setup is looking nice..

 

Thanks! Yeah thats me. It's working great too! It was on my bnr stage IV setup and when I took it to get tuned by steve kan it just wasn't pulling as well as I wanted it too. He guestimated around 350rwhp and I was looking more for 400 so now with this setup I should be a little closer

 

heres mine..

 

I like that. Very simple. Is that -8an lines? Only problem I see is it looks like a few of the fittings aren't screwed all the way in. Is that just a mock fitment or has it been running like that? Any leaks?

edit: can you see the stainless steel clutch pedal back there? Thats yours

 

How do you guys transition from the stock fittings to the braided hose? Or is it AN fittings all the way back to the tank?

 

Theres a few ways to do it.. I used stock lines to run close to 500whp... So they are capable, the biggest reason to run an lines is when the fuel system gets a bit more complicated(bigger pumps,afrs ect.) but for walboro pumps, its just fine... Or if you want to decorate the engine bay more...

To do the transition, you can either start with braided lines, or theres a male/female fitting that you could use.. The male part slides into the stock line and the female is a a/n femalle fiting, or nut..

 

well the -6 AN fits perfect on to the original hard line so then it just takes 1 or 2 hose clamps there and it work fine. Then from there you can use all the AN fittings you want. One day I will go tank forward but until then this will have to do.

 

dont forget about the fuel filter..

 

oh yeah but you could use an AN style filter or just the stock filter. not sure if I can justify spending the dough on an AN style filter though.

 

maybe I'll just turn this thread into my update thread

Gotham Racing turbo blanket just came in:

 

they are 8an, im still doing some wiring work and the car hasent been run like that. im gonna one over everything before i fire it up. clutch line looks good. i havent run them all the way back to the tank, ill probably get a fuel cell before i do that. i do have an aftermarket fuel filter in there as well.

 

cool. I should have gone 8an as well but this aught to work for now. are you going to be running a t66 or is that just your screen name? Anyways good luck with your project man maybe you will be as fast as rxtasy...isn't he around where you are?

 

bookmarking page.....

 

one day I shall post pics here, after I pass smog of course...

 

a little more progress.



ss oil return line (that was a bitch)
break booster not rusted anymore (gotta paint the mc)
painted cas cap.
removed big *** pullie for p/s.
more to come, will post pics of custum IC as soon as pipes get back from being beed rolled as well as alky injection.

 

Now you know you want to post up how much this has cost...

 

hahah i stopped counting Really When I sold my bnr stage IV along with my manifold, custom tid, downpipe and old school fmic I made alot of cash. Close to 2k witch helped fund alot of this however not all of it. I'm probably 4 ro 500 in the hole right now with the stainless stuff and another 160 for the turbo blanket and 400 for the alky injection and then 70 a side housing for lapping and 250 for dowlpinning the motor. so yeah it's kinda pricey, but if your going to do it you might as well do it right.

 

Nice Job! That turbo is huge. You should enjoy the pull on that thing!

 

thanks. I'm hoping it will satisfy my need for speed

 

those are purdy

 

i think i have the same turbo as you...how much did that heat wrap cost you?

 

It looks like a turbo blanket, and they are around $145.00 to $165.00. It cuts out major heat from the bay.

 

oh yeah by the way thanks a **** ton wankler, without your pics and pm's I would have been screwed on this. Thanks again man!

yeah the turbo blanket is from gotham racing and it is very good quality! the other wraps just don't hold up the first time you try to take them off. Anyways the turbo is a mp t61 with a .96 ptrim back side.

 

You are very welcome Hondahater! Can not wait to see your finished product. Even though I know one is never finished. :0)
