4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010

[4g63tcrazy]

I would love to do that but that's where my fuse box is located. I have an Injen filter that I've been using but I definately need a new one. I already talked to MAP about getting a new K&N that fits perfectly. I took my pop-up motor out on that side so I can have a filter tucked in there as far away from the engine as possible.

I would love to tuck my engine bay, it just looks so cluttered compared to yours.

But I feel unsure about putting it in the fender well.

[4g63tcrazy]

I would prefer it somewhere else too, but it hasn't had a problem even through rain. I still have the plastic guards blocking anything the tires try and throw at it. The main reason I put it there is cause I only had to rewire like 5 wires.

Eventually I got sick of looking at 2 random blue couplers and went to napa and got some black ones for now. Eventually I'll probably get some real red ones.

Since my turbo is oil cooled only I had to plug the coolant lines. First I drilled and tapped the nipple on the thermostat housing and used a bolt with some rtv on the threads.

Second I had to plug the waterpipe. Went to CA Performance and they hooked me up with a 5/8 inverted flare and a plug.

While I had the waterpipe out I decided to paint it. You can also see the longer studs I'm using for the manifold spacer.

Also had to plug the oil feed from the head since I'll be feeding this turbo off the OFH.

I woke up this morning to 2 packages at my door. First being my FIC 1600's.

Second was my 2.5" 90 degree coupler to replace the nasty elbow that was welded on my turbo.

Then decided to mock up the LICP. It came up about an inch short, so I cut it and used a coupler to give me some more length. (Not ideal, but it works.)

And now that's where I sit. Still waiting on a fitting for my oil feed line, FP drain line on it's way, and my manifold to be done.

Looks good. Is that just a stock fuel rail painted black?

[4g63tcrazy]

Yes it is.

I have mine in the same place and if I had to do it all over again, I'd mount the fuse box inside. I've gone through too many relays due to water getting up in there and shorting things.

You should invest in an evo oil cap. I think there like 18 bucks at mitsu. Really looks good on a dsm.

[4g63tcrazy]

I have the exact same oil cap as an evo just without the mobile1 sticker. Haha

Weird.. I haven't had a single issue with mine.

I guess the difference there is I was missing some of my stock guards. I just had a lot of trouble, but it was due to me not totally thinking things through and getting stuck driving it home through rain. Fucking weathermen....
