My Newest project....

Well. Started getting the turbo mounted and oil/coolant lines figured out. I was able to get those all done. Now just need some hose for coolant and some fuel line. Its starting to come together now.

But sadly....I am gonna have to put it hold for a couple weeks. The head gasket that was slightly leaking on the family car, Stupid Subaru, finally let go. I was hoping it would have held out till I got the Eclipse done. But nope. So know I gotta focus on getting that done, as its the only car my GF can drive.

Whats going on with the feed line there? Looks like the braided line goes down behind/below the turbo, then is connected to a hard line that goes back up to feed it the turbo?

The feed line is a kit I got from JNZ tuning. It goes from the head to the top oil feed spot. It just looks funny cause of how I have it routed. It just goes behind the turbo and up to the top of the housing.

the hard line that runs up and over the turbo is for coolant. It was about the only way I could get it to fit. I hope t works.

I see. Must just be the angle of the picture playing tricks.

What clutch are you using? Is that a XTD I spy?

Sadly...yes its an xtd. I did do some looking into them, and there are mixed reviews. But I didn't have the money to get something better. So as long as it lasts me a while I'll be happy.

If you break it the xtd will last awhile. I had last 10k in my first maxima but I didn't break it in. Car is looking good. Sure do miss my car some days.

Was yours sprung or solid disk? I see alot of the solid disk ones have issues. I however, got the sprung disk. I didn't find to many bad results on those.

Well....been doing some work, but haven't had time to do any updates.

I swapped out the greddy for a 14b just for break in. Plus the Greddy was frustrating me. Trying to get water lines and what not figured out.

After that I ordered couplers for the intercooler and a TB elbow. Got them yesterday and decided to work on it tonight.

I got everything together, than primed the oil system, than used Link to disable cel for egr, evap, etc... Than used Link to run fuel pump to prime the system. Than I just fired it up.

It runs pretty good. Gotta get the idle down a bit, but otherwise it was good. Tomorrow I will top off fluids, run it for a bit, than hopefully get tires switched over so I can drive it.

So...I decided to start the car and let it run for a bit. Trying to see if everything is alright.

First thing I noticed is when cold the car doesn't run worth a crap. I bled the cooling system twice so I dunno if the FIAV is not working or what. Second thing I noticed is that the front o2 stays maxed out on the data log on link.

Once it got to around 180* the car finally started to idle on its own semi good. It does have a miss, but that could be in the coil or the wires. plugs are brand new. But the timing seems high to me.

I was trying to post my logs but it said invalid file...how do I get around that?

THanks
