Looks awesome Andy, I'm jealous of those wheels.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

wow...diggin' that stance! im amazed the 245s fit without spacers! :D

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Thanks guys! It's the exact setup I was looking for so I'm very pleased with it!

Got my head back from Primo tonight. I have the day off tomorrow so we'll see how close I get to finishing it.

ooo, ahh

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Got the car running this morning. I had an injector get stuck closed on me and wouldnt fire. (stupid 1600's) Once that started working I drove the car to work and all was well. The car drove smoother then it ever has before. Took a friend from work for a ride in the car after aligning it and I was accelerating in 2nd gear. Not hard, about 1/4 throttle. Then all of a sudden the engine shut off on me. I tried jumping it while still rolling and nothing. Coasted safely to a parking lot and tried to start it once more with just a quick flip of the key and it didnt sound good at all. Had AAA come tow the car and once I got it home ripped into it as fast as I could. Found out the oil pump seized. I thought I locked the engine up cause I couldnt get it to budge, spinning the crank with a rachet. Once I got the timing belt off I checked the idler and tensioner and they were good. Then went to move the oil pump sprocket and it was frozen solid. Timing was still all lined up perfectly and once I had the belt off, the crank spun nice and freely. I still have yet to take the front case off to see what damage was done.. Hopefully I just need a new front case/ oil pump.

Shittty dude, same thing happened to me.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Got the talon running tonight! It's gone more then 5 miles unlike last time haha. The car had a HUGE boost leak but it still pulled like a mofo. I tried not to beat on it too much though. ;) Once I got it home I did a boost leak test and found out I installed my boost controller backwards cause I'm a nub cake. :redface: My throttle body also leaked pretty good and my BOV gasket. Got those fixed so we'll see how it drives tomorrow. Only thing I'm concerned about is how much shaft play the turbo has.. As long as it makes it to Boost for Boobies, dyno's and drives home I wont lose my mind and sell the damn thing. :) Now I just gotta tune, tune, tune!

Here are a couple pics I've been to lazy to post up.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

That radiator looks hella-clean. Oh, I bet it cools good too....lol

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Car stays around 180-190 all the time now :)

Well where to start.. I'm getting a really bad studder/hesitation at low rpm as the turbo starts spooling. I boost leak tested the car and fixed 2 minor leaks. The o2 sensor stopped working on me so my car wouldnt idle and I was in traffic.. I probably melted the wiring again although I wrapped the hell out of it with heat wrap. I think I'll just simulate the o2 using link for now. I got a fitting for the turbo to take the restrictor off the feed line. My oil pressure before I ported the oil relief valve was 20psi idle and 100+ WOT. Now after porting it, it's 10psi idle and 75-80psi WOT.

That's about it. Really need to figure this studdering issue out..

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Washed the car for the first time since last summer. The direct sunlight basically killed 90% of my pics but a couple turned out ok.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Those FD rims look great on there, dont stick out too much. Car looks great!! I only have seen it once from a far, I'll have to get a better look sometime this summer.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Well I guess it's time for an update.. I basically gave up on the car for a good month. I got sick of putting money into the car and removing/re-installing the same parts over and over just to figure out more problems.

Basically the new wiring harness I bought developed an issue where my ecu wouldn't shut off and all my dash lights would stay on. So I pulled the harness back out, (This being the 5th time) and transfered everything back to my original harness that I cut up just trying to fix the one I bought. I got the harness all back together and taped up. I had to force myself to even get this far on my car. Then it took even more self motivation to actually put the damn thing into my car.

So I eventually sucked it up and got the harness in my car and it fired up and shut off perfectly. That night I put a quick tune on it at 26psi and just beat the living hell out of it. I ended up catching air at 110mph at one point. I didn't care I was trying to blow the damn thing up. The only issue that came up that night was not being able to shift at 8k after beating on it for so long. Other than that, it took the beating like a champ!

Lately I've just been driving the car to work and wherever else I need to go. I haven't even put the laptop on it for awhile. I plan on getting the thing tuned and running perfect probably tomorrow morning.

One thing that's changed with my car is I ended up buying a smaller battery. It's for a '01 honda civic and about half the size. I had to make a new tie-down for it and this is what I came up with.

Simple and works well. :)

Also after putting the harness in the car sooo many times I gave up on hiding it 100% like it used to be. It's basically just laying along the crossmember now, compared to before when I had it come up behind the intake manifold. But I really don't care anymore. It's clean enough..

I tried taking a HDR pic of the engine bay but with the lighting I had it just looks too over-done. But here it is anyway.

I plan to take the car out once it gets nicer and do a photoshoot.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Lookin good! You gonna have this thing at the dyno day?

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Depending on when I get off work I'll more than likely be there.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Good to hear you got it going and haven't given up.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Ended up doing some un-expected tuning tonight with IwantA4g63t. We got the a/f to be a steady 11.8 with 18* peak timing at 26psi. We also calibrated the MAF pretty good to make the car happy with these stupid 1600's. I'm sure in about a week it will be all f'd up again.

I plan to make it to the dyno day but I don't get off work til 5. So who knows if I'll actually make it onto the dyno.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

^Sounds like you are making some progress, come up this way I'll will try to help out anyway I can, plus sounds today I will be all over a lot of peoples DSMs.

just wanna say ur car is one of my favs.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Thanks! Now that I think of it I haven't seen your car for like 2 years..

I think I'm just gonna spend the day cleaning things up. Alot of things need a fesh coat of paint from me taking my harness in and out multiple times and being careless.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

^You don't want to see my car, its looks beat up as fuck.
we need to take a trip to the track again that was fun, and hopefully get our fun runs in.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Mine too after a deer hitting me and just for the fact that I gave up on keeping it clean. It looks clean as hell from a distance but once you get up close there are scratches and dents everywhere.. I hate it.

We def need to hit up the track. I plan on maybe getting some slicks soon. Hopefully I can just skip running 12's completely. I think that would be pretty bad ass.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

lol, loved the car again today.

I love your built motor (stock bottom end + real head studs) lol.

Get a new WG spring and we can run again, i pulled a diff. boost level in every gear when we ran.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

L19's ftw! Yeah I was knocking bad. I was getting an even 6-7 counts of knock after the dyno. On the last pull I tried adding 1 degree across the map just to see what would happen and apparently it was way too much and I forgot to set it back. My ecu would pull my timing into the 11-12's so my car was not pulling very well at all. We'll have to figure our shit out and go at it again. (and find a nice smooth road :))

One thing I was suprized about is I raced my buddy Joe who had the blue 4 door civic. He put down 501whp earlier this week and when me and him raced we were dead even from 60-130ish.

I gotta pull the turbo back off and fix the massive compressor housing boost leak. Then throw a tune on it for now, til I take it in to shane.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

The car looked awesome on Sat! Sorry the numbers weren't what you were hoping, but the car really looks hot and put down damn good power none-the-less!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

350 is damn good, i saw it do work.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Thanks Sheides! I'm sure my power would have been much better if my a/f wasn't in the 9's :/ I'm scheduled to dyno at DB June 3rd to let Shane do his magic. :)

Things I gotta do before I hit the dyno:

Get stiffer wastegate spring (stuck at 25psi)
Fix massive compressor housing leak and check system again for leaks
Save my pennies.

Took a video tonight with the gf's phone. Better then nothin!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I see awd or a limited slip in your future...lol

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I cranked my boost controller knob all the way in. All I can get out of it is 27psi. It basically makes 3rd gear useless now though. Still trying to find where to get a damn 20psi spring for my wastegate, HKS's site is all sorts of wierd.

Still gotta take the turbo back off and seal the compressor housing. Pretty sure my exhaust is melting a hole in one of my couplers also. :/

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Mounted some slicks on my race wheels I got from a buddy at work. They're hoosier 26x9x15's. They're pretty worn but still plenty soft. I set the launch control at 5500 and for the first time I actually got pushed back in the seat from a launch in my car. :)

I put together a quick vid. Enjoy.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Just curious, but why did you pull the e-brake after the pull? The car looks like it pulls pretty good

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

If I brake too hard the slicks will rub the fenders. If you listen you can actually hear it in the video. Not to mention the road is short and I had little room to stop from about 115mph. :)

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Hey I know where you did that pull. Car is looking good!

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Thanks! I bet you did! Haha. Pretty well known spot for racing in Oakdale.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Took some pics of the car today with the slicks on.

Nice, but your slicks are flat! :drive1:

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

Um, slicks go on the back. :)

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

^R u sure, mine are on the front.

Re: 4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010
 

I thought they were supposed to go on all 4? I was only test fitting ;)

You might have to inform me on this spot, Im moving to oakdale next tuesday. Im right off hadely and 23rd.
