Finally was able to get the cold side intercooler piping and couplers to install the greddy elbow. A little bit of WD-40 and spray paint can go a long way, thanks Simon

picked up a lsd today, hope its in good shape and can I get a bump from anyone who hates a TPS.

They should put TPS next to every check engine light definition because thats what it is every time, shoot you could have a flat tire and change your tps and that will fix it.

Sorry I had to vent a little. F'in TPS's

Got rid of huge Apexi intakes and added K&N's yesterday. Pulled my IC pipe that has a BOV flange and currently have an Apexi BOV curing on the pipe for installation tomorrow.

I just fixed my boost problems and finally have full boost, first time since I bought the damn car, I have a smile on my face

Over the past few days... Ant commenced the tuning last night. Was nice going to 20 psi without going lean at an 13-14 afr yaya thats low for boosting but its beater, will most likly tune for 16psi.

Changes:
Simplfied seq, all new vac lines
New plugs
New wires
New intake tubes
RX7store v-mount kit, I am rather dissapointed in vs other kits. However its the beater so who cares.
JDM TYTE high temp hyper orange spray on the uim
4pt strut bar brace, havent drilled the firewall yet.



Sucks we couldnt tune it enough in time for tonight, was going to transport to orlando for the CFRC drift event but ran out of time

Nah its the 99's, Nothing wrong with that. In non-seq people push them to 22 for good power considering and put down awesome 1/4 times of course not a daily-able. They already are leaking oil so meh, just waiting for the motor to chuck a seal so we can rebuild that car with a big single.

We are having charlie brown make us a custom 62-1 turbo, its going to bolt onto the stock t2 maifold. To the unsuspecting eye we could trick them into thinking it is a stock turbo system from the t2 fcs. This is for the red car.

looks good Mark..thought the vmount would sit higher than that.

Car starts 100% of the time, runs fine, idles at 850-900 for a bit then...dies...as if you just turned the key off.

No codes showing up, fuel pressure seems ok..IAC seems ok...mechanics still working on it....anyone wanna buy my car lol...sigh.
