On hwy 62? Did I pass you?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yeah I can get any Firestone/Bridgestone tire very cheap. Even RE-11s and the whole Pontenza line. Anyone can text me their tire size for a price quote.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Oh yeah I remember now, hwy 62 westbound just before the 35w south exit I passed you. I was wondering if you were on here.

Recently on my way home from work I got hit by a uninsured motorist. Its not too bad, unfortunately the damages to my car are not covered by my liability insurance and since he has no insurance, I would have to take him to court.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

That's not nearly as bad as I thought. Still sucks though.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

That sucks, you don't have uninsured/underinsured coverage? Hope that guy got a hefty fine for driving without insurance.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I thought it was state law you have to have uninsured coverage.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I do have uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance on my liability coverage, however it doesn't cover damages to my vehicle only medical costs which I had none.

Shitty

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Update: Installed EF1 with Evo 3 turbine housing, ceramic coated Evo 3 o2 housing, FIC 1250cc injectors, AFPR, B&M fuel pressure gauge. Quite a difference from the 450cc/14b. Now I just need good tune...

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Damn!! Did you buy brownman's EF1? Get this thing to Shane, I wanna see what one of those does on a Dynodynamics with a 5 speed.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

^Fuck a dyno, get this to the track on E85 I want to see it trap 123-125.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Recent picture, the winter has been great with talon.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Awesome, you gonna bring her in for a good ole Shane tune this spring?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yup I'm excited to see how it does on the dyno.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

So I finally got around to fixing that broken mirror. I found a pair of red mirrors and plasti-dipped them. Going to put them on tomorrow. I might peel the plasti dip off and just paint them ill see how it goes. The plasti dip came out a little more textured than I thought it would. Either way it's better than the faded broken mirror.

Idk why pic is upside down

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

How long before it's a V8 eater?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

It already is fool

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Are you on e85 yet?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I'm not, I'm unsure if I'm going to. The car is ready to run e85 though.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Do it!! The only regret you'll have is wishing you'd have done it sooner

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Theres no reason not to.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I just feel like I would have to go way out of my way to fill up. I don't pass any e85 stations on my way to or from work. Definitely would like to but seems like a hassle.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Dude, we have more e85 than any other state! To drive an extra mile or two to fill up is definitely worth the extra 100hp!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

I have to agree with Goodhart, theres a buttload of E85 here

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Well, today I pulled the fuel pump to do a complete rewire. I found a Walbro 190 not a 255 like I thought I had in the tank. So I put the rewire on hold until I pick up a new pump.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Ok I ordered a 255hp fuel pump, went ahead and did the rewire at the connector. When I get the new pump, I'm going to rewire it down to the pump and run a new fresh ground from the pump.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Got the new walbro installed after work today.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Hah wow, wonder if that's the one I installed way back when. I didn't go with a full 255 because it wasn't a race car (LOL) and I wanted to keep it simple on the street.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yeah not sure, oh well. Glad I handle this before going in for a tune. It was pretty loud and since I was told it was a 255 I never questioned it. But I can't believe I didn't do this earlier, especially the rewire.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Installed braided stainless fuel line from the tank to the rail with -6an fittings and a fuelab filter today. Ill get more pics up later.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice! Waiting on dyno #'s!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Why the line from tank to rail?

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Since I've started driving the car there has always been a fuel smell but no major fuel leaks. I finally got around to fixing it, it turned out I had a few issues. The sending unit had no gasket and half the studs on top are broken off. Also, the hose section was seeping at the crimps. I decided to just replace it all and make it look better too.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Ah, good call. Yea when the car got parted I didn't recall what pump went back in. I thought I had a 255 before I went to the double pumped setup? When parting a car, fixing bad gaskets and such aren't really top priorities, I just wanted to get rid of everything.

Anyways, glad you got it all sorted out and are doing things the right way! This thing is def headed in the right direction.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Pic of the new fuel line/ filter, today ill be installing a prosport fuel pressure gauge, and a prosport egt gauge. Ill post pics after install.

I don't get why these pics keep loading sideways.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Install of the EGT gauge and sensor was a breeze thanks to a previously tapped manifold I bought from Carltalon a few months back. The fuel pressure gauge install went well too, except it reads 10psi high. I contacted prosport and ill be measuring the resistance of the sensor tomorrow to test it. I like the how the gauges are either white (daytime), or blue (nighttime). I wired them so they come on white, I hit the fog light switch to change to blue.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Just put in this vent pod, holds my boost and wideband gauges.

Damn phone uploading pics upside down

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Also, my brand new Prosport fuel pressure gauge reads 10psi high, I tested the resistance of the sending unit and was out of spec. Prosport shipped a new sending unit today.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Those blue lcd's are pretty nice.
