cant wait to see it all together ....

mmmm must paint my engine stuffs now !!

 

heres another set of pictures of more things done. . . ie. . . the turbo. hahaha, that makes me happy

 

thats all for now. . .

paul

 

mm are those 2 different manifolds? looks different?

 

are you talking about the comparison of mine to david garfinkles??? yes, those are two different manifolds. mine has heavy machining done to it and his has heavy polishing done to it. same 3rd gen LIM though.

paul

 

ahhh oh ok..wasn't sure if it was a different lim ...

 

he made a plate to cover the EGR completely. instead of putting a bolt-on block-off plate on there, he made a large contouring plate and had it welded in place.

paul

 

Damn that looks slick. LOVE the LIM. Nice Work!!

 

Pretty neat stuff Paul. I did the same thing to the inlet of my UIM. I have a spare sitting around, actually, all bored out and whatnot. I'm glad you didnt go through with selling the rex

 

haha, yeah. . . im glad too!!!! i had to tell my wife that it was just plain impossible for me to do that!!!! hahahaha, besides. . . the market sucks for it right now.

paul

 

Paul, everything looks great! Thats a nice looking turbo!

 

thanks heath!!!! the turbo was nice when i first put my hands on it, but when i put it in the car. . . oh man. . . did it make my mouth salivate. hahaha. thats gross. it looks A WHOLE LOT better than that dinky old to4e!!!!

paul

 

Paul, it looks great. Your car has really come around in the past year.

Good work man, cant wait to see it in person one day. Are you coming down toward the end of Jan?

Hey man can you pm me where you got your IC pipe from? I cant remember.

Thanks,
Stephen

 

stephen, im not too sure april is gonna "allow" it. . . also, the date hasnt been announced that i know of and i missed the "leave turn-in" date for the month of january already. i may be able to do some underground scheduling, but im not too sure.

thanks for the comments

YOU ARE THE POO SNIZZLE

seriously that turbo is making me hot in the pants

cant wait to ride

 

Paul, that just flat looks AWESOME. Definitely something I'd like to try myself at some point .

Did you start with a JDM LIM or a US manifold? I know the JDM's don't have the EGR stuff, but I don't know to what extent. Having the "hollow" manifolds looks INCREDIBLE, BTW.

Did you have the throttle body linkages powdercoated, or is it just cleaned up? That looks really good - I might have to try that at some point. I've torn down a ton of FC throttle bodies, so I'm handy there .

Keep up the good work!
Dale

 

thanks a bunch dale!!! all of the equipment is USDM. ive never seen the JDM LIM before so i dont know. i HAVE seen the JDM UIM, however. . . it has all the same casting, except some things are "filled in". it looks the same just minus some holes.

the linkage was coated. . . yes. . . though in the future itll be chromed. i think thatll look better.

one thing. . . how did you like the ability to see the polished fuel rail through the LIM??? i thought it looked dead sexy. hahahaha.

paul

 

that turbo looks better to me! kinda like the one in my floor..... still..... ba...
