Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

[blageo23]

Hey man I think you should look into flipping your intake manifold around and relocating your alternator. It makes for a really clean engine bay with a FMIC. Less Piping.
Here are some examples I found. Im pretty sure its as simple as Turning it around and flopping the injector rails around.
Just some food for thought.

Good point, I will be doing that next Summer. The nice thing about my IM, other than it's plastic and fucking owns at keeping heat out, is my IM is off centered so when I flip it I dont have to relocate anything. I'll be definitely doing that next Summer though.

Other than that, this a video I put up with my current engine problem I think that is caused by a bad front O2 sensor. I talked to Shane @ DB, very helpful and awesome dude, and he agrees with me that's my first step to fix it.

Sounds good, hey if you could get some cams to get it to idle like that it would sound means as hell :). Can't wait to see this thing go.

Got my MAP sensor today, tactrix cable is on the way (for future carputer in the GC8) and my O2 is set to come tomorrow.

Other than that, I put in my MAP sensor at lunch, got it to idle a few times and it seemed to figure things out and idles now, at least after it's at operating temp.

I'm hoping a tune, the rear O2 sensor and a boost leak test will clear up all my problems. I'll be putting the interior in today and taking some pics and updating.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Got the carpet installed tonight and all the interior back in. Also got my exhaust/muffler on and new driveshaft bushings on. Gonna put the front wheels on tomorrow after bleeding the brakes again one more time and then put the bumper/fenders back on.

After that it's time to patiently wait for my O2 sensor and tactrix cable to come so I can get the car hopefully fully running.
