what's the deal with the pipe you never got back to me.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^ I haven't gotten the piping yet.. haven't had much time to go anywhere so I decided to get the stuff done that I already have parts for... I will let you know for sure within this next week.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Ok so, I messed up on threading in my oil feed from the head and ended up having to helicoil the bitch.. O a 13/32 drill bit is a bitch to find on a side note. Also, in the pictures I have the vacum for some shaving suckage and some Q tips for total cleanage! lol

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Some pictures of my battery reloction. I have to make it look nice still and its as it is still a mess.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Some more pictures. Rachel in the chair working hard....

On another note I bled the clutch and she feels great! Incase some of you didnt read what it is its a ACT 2900 6 puck sprung disk. I also have a ss clutch line I installed from master to slave.

Not too much farther now. I need some fluid and my radiator fabbed up and then just a few more loose ends and I might be ready to fire her up!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

You listened to me :)

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Got all the lines all buttoned up and its ready for some fluid that I picked up today after work. Cocktail for the tranny and t case, oil, and have yet to get coolent for the whole system.

I'm just waiting for my radiator that I dropped off at Primo to get the outlet rewelded in the 1g location to get it off my exhaust manifold. Also need some trottle body gaskets then just hook up the intercooler pipes and I think I'm about ready to start her up! I still need exhaust work done but I have the downpipe on it atleast. Little things hear and there but it will be enough to start it up

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Nicely done, Chris! :beer:

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Thanks! I know its not gonna be done by tomorrow but atleast its close to being done..

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

pull an all nighter

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^ I still need parts.... It will be running next week for sure though.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

The radiator from primo and I need the throttle body gaskets

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Got the radiator from primo, great job guys! Also, put the car together yesturday except the intercooler piping I need to order 2 couplers.. I primed the car and it sounded good for not starting.. also means I hooked up the wires correctly!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Everything was looking pretty good. Can't wait to see it done. Oh and fuck you for now making me want a bike.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^ your welcome! On a side note mike came over last night and I let him take my bike down thr road and I think he might want one now lol

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Hey, if you need silicone couplers have some brand new black 2.5" ones ill let you have for super cheap.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

He needs 2 90's one that's 3 to 3.5 and one 2.5.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Well, I got a new slim fan for the passenger side since my stocker wont fit anymore... While I was wiring up my old one so it will be a puller, the wires fell out of the motor..... It was mounted in the engine bay on the driver side with only a small amount of space between the fan/wires and my turbo setup. In the end it melted the wires and made them brittle so when I was holding on to you FAN ( not the wires ) the wires just fell off :frown:. Anyways, I'm going to get another new one now.FML...

The VSRF front mount that MAP no longer has featured on there site SUCKS A$$! the core is great but the piping and couplers is a whole different story.. In the end I'm suprised that anything worked, but after cutting my core pipe a small amount it fits fine. Also, needed some new couplers as the kit also failed in this department aswell.. So I ordered some from MAP since I was already there. They will be here soon and the car will run. Hopefully....

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

With building a car like you are trying to, it is going be next to impossible to have all of the pipes bolt right up to all of the different parts on your car you should figure that in the first place. More photos.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I'll Go take some quick and get back to you. Also, I'm not the only one that had problems with this kit. Nick (cornfed2.4) has the same kit as me and had trouble with it.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

some pictures

Some more pictures

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Yea. you are better off customizing the piping to fit exactly to your setup with clearing things like DP, radiator and or fans, turbo, intake, ect. Looking good. whens it going to be on the road.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^ first things start up. Then I will button things up and make them look better, I could have this thing on the road next week. BUT, I need to get at least 2 to 3 more things befoe tuning it. BAP,A1's, and make my exhaust. I am going to use the downpipe that I have on there and then cut the one that I had on there before and weld it to fit the downpipe.. I like everything about thermal exhaust better then the one that I was going to use.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I have a BAP

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Looks good man, keep going!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I know this

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Ok so I went to MAP today after work to pick up my second fan that had just came in. When I got home I took my 1g n/a throttle body off and went up to Primo and had Jesse make me a block off plate. I then went to ACE to pick up some new hardware for the block off plate.

When I got home I began putting this stuff on my car. I used some gray RTV for the block off plate and I'm going to let it sit snug over night then tighten it the rest of the way tomorrow. Got both fans wired up and put on my radiator along with the radiator installed in my car, then I hooked up my LICP. Put the throttle body on the SMIM and I am done for the night. I have tomorrow off and if all goes well this thing will be ready to start!

On a side note I picked up some H11's today and am picking up a Boost a Pump tomorrow! not much farther now!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

What are you making block off plate for? It's going to suck to drive if you totally get rid of the idle motor.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^This is what everyone has told me to do.. I will not be driving this all the time and will not drive this at all in winter so I deleted the FIAV

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Did you just make a FIAV bypass or did you completely block off the entire idle assembly?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

I blocked it off completely.

I needed to clear up some space anyways. After installing my SMIM my fuel feed line was hitting on that piece anyways. So getting rid of the entire thing save me the space.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Hopefully you get it ready to go tomorrow!

That plate kind of sucks until the car is fully warmed up. haha It was always interesting coming to a stop sign when the car was cold because you would have to shit out of gear, break with your left foot and keep the rpm's up so it doesn't die. Not too bad, just made driving more interesting

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

^ Haha I got so good at doing that! Every person who test drove the car killed it a bunch, sometimes from shifting too slow. You get used to it though.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Once it warms up I should be good though right? Or do I have to worry about this all the time?

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

There you are shitting again! :lol:

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

hahah damn it!

Once it warms up it acted just fine. I had to blip the throttle when SHIFTing out of gear right before 1k or it would die. Not sure if it was due to the combo of parts I had on the car. Again nothing too crazy just something that took some getting used to.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

My brother Dan, (daneatsv8s) has the FIAV completely blocked off in his GSX and I hate it. Like Brad said, you have to keep the motor revved when it is cold to keep it from dying, and you have to give it some throttle before it will idle without dying when cold. I've always kept my entire FIAV/IAC setup and haven't had any problems. In my opinion, bypassing or even just keeping the whole system is the way to go.

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

From what everyone has described doesn't sound like something for a street car.

Let me know when you are starting that beast up!

Re: GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread
 

Well I just got back from NAPA with coolent, vacum line, and clamps. THIS CAR IS ALIVE!!!! It idles at like 1500 rpms though.. I need to do a boost leak test and go from there. It doesnt want to idle at first like I had thought but I just show it some love and BOOM! she stays steady at 1500. I will see if I cant get a video at some time today. I had 2 problems with this 1: I have a coolent leak on my water neck. 2: My oil feed was leaking from the head ( this is the one that I helicoiled....) So I just gave it a good tightening ( SCARED ) and all was well. I have my lap top upstairs charging and then I will hook it up and toy with the idle.
