Re: Progress since last year
 

I've got to take the old tank out. Then run the fuel lines, and then put the new tank in. Mount my fuel pump and do the wiring. Move my alternator to the back of the engine ( I'm going to de-loom the wiring for the alternator instead of extending the wiring for it). I'm waiting on little boodram to weld up the manifold. Then I've got to put the two wastegates on, and make dump tubes. Make a longer return line. Make a 3.5inch down pipe(out of ss). Extend my current intercooler pipe a few inch's and then hook it all up. Also while I'm doing all this my ecu will be sent out to update link to v3. I'll also be having my 1600's cleaned at that llc place in maple grove. :fork:.... oh this aint tcs.. lol

Re: Progress since last year
 

Shit got a lotta work, is it going to be alive for the proving grounds?

That nigga goes by the name of LB, little brown.

Re: Progress since last year
 

lol I'm hoping to have it running in about 3 weeks. LB said he was starting to weld the manifold for me yesterday. I'll shoot him a text seeing if he did. Its not to much work really. about a solid day's worth once all the peices fall into place. ohh almost forgot. Driveshaft shop rear axle's will be going in too. :)

Re: Progress since last year

Re: Progress since last year
 

So whats going on with this?

What trans have you been using?
I know that you are going with a shep stg 4.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Been waiting for a few weeks on little brown to weld weld weld... I was told it was going to be done today but, nothing has happen for some reason :( My 2nd mvs 38 showed up today, and my 3inch to 3.5 inch reducer ( I'll be using it as a expander? lol) to Make a 3.5 inch downpipe will be here tomorrow. I'm just waiting on little brown. I was hoping to have it running friday/saturday.

Stock trans with a welded center diff. Its been a good ass trans so far. I'm considering doing my own trans. I've got a few emails out there right now waiting to hear back on finding a evo3 as well.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Nice, I'm looking to keep mine a little longer and just wondering what it could handle.

That LB guy has been working some overtime from what I hear, something about a sweet shop evo getting put together and stuff.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Yeah, the evo has been running for a week or a little more then that. He got the first burn pass done on the manifold tonight, and just needs to go over the runner's with filler and it will be done! He can bust out the work thats for sure!!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Looking like this will fire up withing 7 days from today. :) Should be on the rollers then to crank up the power.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Nice, let me know I would like to see some power pulls on this bitch.

AEM or link? my friend hates you btw for that whole wideband thing, but I won't tell him its you. lol

Re: Progress since last year
 

Link ftw!! Yeah, I feel bad but, I can't say no to more money you know?

Re: Progress since last year
 

I understand perfectly.

Cool, I can't wait to see it. Remember they just updated firmware and software.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I've got the old version for now. I'll send mine in for the update when they aren't on back order.

Re: Progress since last year
 

when's your appointment to get tuned?? Is it at db?

Re: Progress since last year
 

I tune my own car's. I'm a honarary member with the MAP team, I'll be on the dyno after hours up there. So, maybe later this week. I'm waiting for the last parts (fuel fittings and ss lines) to show up. I' am hoping to have it up and running this week.

Re: Progress since last year
 

This setup is gonna be badass.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I might need to change turbin housing's. We will see how this little T4 housing does.

Re: Progress since last year
 

^U already said that it would be fine and that you talked to the peeps at PTE.

I think you will be fine with large footprint.

Re: Progress since last year
 

True, I'm just hoping it all works out. I was just watching some youtube vid's of my car performing last year... Man I miss driving that thing! 530awhp was fun as hell!! I can't imagine with this year will be like.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Little update on the picture side. I started fabin the down pipe last night on the engine stand at map. Should hopefully be running this weekend!!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

The dp is 3.5 inch. :D

Re: Progress since last year
 

Those welds looks awesome!

Re: Progress since last year
 

yeah, u weld that DP flange together?

Re: Progress since last year
 

No, a fella named Chris K that fabs at map welded the flange off the turbo.

Re: Progress since last year
 

That dudes good, i thought it was my bro.

Re: Progress since last year
 

The pictures don't do justice. You'll have to take a look at it sometime. I stopped in tonight to show a co-worker around after work. Little brown was still there working on finishing up the manifold. Fuel lines and fittings, and filters should be here soon (hoping for Friday).

Re: Progress since last year
 

Hurry up already! JK Looks good. Do I get a ride?

Re: Progress since last year
 

Of course you get a ride! I want one in your car too!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

^Word, i never got one last year, which I am not happy about.

Glad that lil' mofo is finally doing work for you.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Yeah, I'll give you a ride. My g/f is usually in the car with me when I take it out. I'm also glad he is getting it all done for me!

Re: Progress since last year
 

^Same here. I don't have enough planned fun time in the car that the wife hates to miss night time drives.

Well here is to everything getting here by friday.

Re: Progress since last year
 

They shipped the stuff out yesterday so I'm guessing early this coming week the stuff will show up. :(

Re: Progress since last year
 

fucktards.

Re: Progress since last year
 

This turd running yet or another 2 weeks or 14 days?

Re: Progress since last year
 

Yeah yeah yeah, soon. Gonna hit the shop pretty hard these next few nights after work to get everything wrapped up. Gotta make all my fuel lines, and mount all that crap. Then put the turbo and manifold on. Not to much work but enough.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Wastegate's are "feathered" in and tached up, awaiting welding, and just gotta run fuel lines and hang/hook up the pump and filters and she should fire (sometime in the next week).

Re: Progress since last year
 

Lookin like I'll be trying to hit the rollers Tuesday.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Looks sick, now get a new valve cover dang it...:) Or clean it.

Re: Progress since last year
 

lol. I'm gonna be selling my stock, but very nicely powdercoated one here soon if you like the idea of rainbow sparkles on your valve cover hahaha
