Not only that but your car must weigh around 2700 without you in it, right Andy?

Yea I'm not sure. I just got the power bug so we'll see what happens. I wanted to do some highway runs too but you guys left a little earlier than I wanted to. Not to mention my oil filter housing fell apart right when I got onto the freeway..

Should be interesting to say the least!

Never weighed the car or know of a place where I could do it. All I have taken out is the front and rear bumper supports and all the extra junk under the hood.

Mine weighs 2650 without me in it and a 1/4 tank of gas. I still have the stock supports and shit plus dynamat in the doors (previous owner). So I figure yours is around the same.

[4g63tcrazy]

Well then you're probably right. Somewhere around 2700lbs with me in it. Someday I'll actually have to weigh it..

[4g63tcrazy]

Next piece to the puzzle was an intake. Steve (goat blower) had his 4" FP intake for sale so I went and picked that up.

Here is a pic of it installed


If you look you will see that something is missing. A recirc fitting for the bov. So I quickly addressed that issue


Also drilled and tapped a fitting for my valve cover breather


Then of course I painted it black


Here is a quick mock up pic of everything before I sent primo my manifold to get ceramic coated.

Looks great, keep up the work, all I can think is clean when I see your engine bay.
I remember that day now.
I didn't get bit by the power bug, just looking for the perfect (in my eyes) setup.

I don't know if you/are in a hurry, but you could of easily sold/traded that pipe for a recirc'd one.

I like the black and red theme, maybe time for a little more red?

[2bar1g]

Wow, awesome work, very clean. Glad to help with the WG setup.

SMIM in the future?

A recirc'd one wouldn't have worked. The recirc fitting would be too far towards the maf. I wanted one without a recirc so I could do my own and make it fit nicely.

The only place I could put more red would be the couplers which I have thought about.. Other than that I'm not too sure what would look good in red.

Thanks! I'm not too sure about a SMIM. The 1g IM will provide me with all the power I'll need with this setup. Although it would definately clean up the bay even more.

[Constant_Project21]

I have do a wire tuck. It's 100% necessary lol. Just looks so clean.

[asshanson]

What are you doing about an air filter? Stock sidemount location?

[4g63tcrazy]

I would love to do that but that's where my fuse box is located. I have an Injen filter that I've been using but I definately need a new one. I already talked to MAP about getting a new K&N that fits perfectly. I took my pop-up motor out on that side so I can have a filter tucked in there as far away from the engine as possible.

[sleepydsm]

I would love to tuck my engine bay, it just looks so cluttered compared to yours.

But I feel unsure about putting it in the fender well.

[4g63tcrazy]

I would prefer it somewhere else too, but it hasn't had a problem even through rain. I still have the plastic guards blocking anything the tires try and throw at it. The main reason I put it there is cause I only had to rewire like 5 wires.

[4g63tcrazy]

Eventually I got sick of looking at 2 random blue couplers and went to napa and got some black ones for now. Eventually I'll probably get some real red ones.



Since my turbo is oil cooled only I had to plug the coolant lines. First I drilled and tapped the nipple on the thermostat housing and used a bolt with some rtv on the threads.


Second I had to plug the waterpipe. Went to CA Performance and they hooked me up with a 5/8 inverted flare and a plug.


While I had the waterpipe out I decided to paint it. You can also see the longer studs I'm using for the manifold spacer.


Also had to plug the oil feed from the head since I'll be feeding this turbo off the OFH.


I woke up this morning to 2 packages at my door. First being my FIC 1600's.


Installed


Second was my 2.5" 90 degree coupler to replace the nasty elbow that was welded on my turbo.




Then decided to mock up the LICP. It came up about an inch short, so I cut it and used a coupler to give me some more length. (Not ideal, but it works.)


And now that's where I sit. Still waiting on a fitting for my oil feed line, FP drain line on it's way, and my manifold to be done.

[Project2G]

Looks good. Is that just a stock fuel rail painted black?

[4g63tcrazy]

Yes it is.

I have mine in the same place and if I had to do it all over again, I'd mount the fuse box inside. I've gone through too many relays due to water getting up in there and shorting things.

[mike55112]

You should invest in an evo oil cap. I think there like 18 bucks at mitsu. Really looks good on a dsm.

[4g63tcrazy]

I have the exact same oil cap as an evo just without the mobile1 sticker. Haha

Weird.. I haven't had a single issue with mine.

I guess the difference there is I was missing some of my stock guards. I just had a lot of trouble, but it was due to me not totally thinking things through and getting stuck driving it home through rain. Fucking weathermen....
