I saw in another thread you said you were waiting for the Aussie intercooler (PWR/Marcus?) but they were delayed? Last I asked him on Facebook about maybe 2 months ago he said they are still selling it, so just wondering what's going on if you don't mine me asking.
I'm not quite ready to order myself but if there's a long lead time I'd like to plan for it
Last I heard was that they were waiting on the Carbon ducting to be completed. I asked again a couple weeks ago on one of his facebook posts and he said the same thing, Still waiting on the ducting to be completed. I'm not in a real big hurry at the moment because I still have to restore the fuel system and cooling system. I've got some of the Fuel system ordered now, need to get the rest of my solenoids as I'm going to be replacing everything under the manifold that is related to the rats nest along with a new FPD and FPR.
Small update. I just received the rest of my parts to tackle the rats nest and fuel system restoration.
- All solenoids
- FPR
- FPD
- Fuel line from primary to secondary
- Injector diffusers
- All injector gromets
- NGK power cable plug wires
I will also be taking all the injectors to a local friend of mine that runs Boostlab, he does a great job building turbos and cleaning injectors. All fuel lines from the hard lines to the rails and return will also get replaced. I don't want to have to worry about anything under the manifold for a while. After this job is done, the next restoration project will be the cooling system with upgraded Radiator, AST and Evan's coolant.
Finally have another update. Having teenage kids keeps you very busy so our car meet and build time has been severely limited. I had a couple days "free" so the wife gave me the nudge to tackle the rats nest so I can cut down some of my parts pile.
Everything went pretty smooth. I don't think there is a real solid video out there for restoring the rats nest so I decided to take some video and throw it on YouTube in case somebody in the future can use the information. I've read write ups about having to remove the alternator and do all this extra work. I've done plenty of these jobs and this is the most efficient way I found to do it.
Car runs great still, now I have the peace of mind to start lightly modding. Next step will be to go Dyno this thing stock to get a baseline and to see what the JDM cars like this Dyno at with no Pre-cat. Then I will throw on the AutoExe intake and go back to the dyno to see what that netted, then repeat this process for each corresponding part.
