Light dont' forget to let me know whats up with Richmond!

 

[JeremyH]

Gotcha. Details and pics to come later tonight.
Had to run to go to work.

Got the car to start with the maf unplugged and let it idle for 20 minutes with the hood shut. No overheating, everything looks good so far. Had a couple drops of oil seep out from the upper oil feed line where it goes into the turbo so i will have to tighten that up a bit. And the pipe conencting to the mid pipes is sitting a little low so im going to loosen the vbands and reposition it for better clearance as well as check everyhting over and make sure its tight. Then try to start it up on the email tune again and see if it will turn over.

That's awesome. Felt good to hear it run again...didn't it?

Yeah it did! I was nervous at first when it didnt want to turn over. But i was relieved to see it start and let it all get warmed up with the new piping and no overheating.

 

[JeremyH]

So earlier today lol
HTO's went in

 

[JeremyH]

Finished the intercooler to turbo piping and hooked up the vac hose to the bov.

 

[JeremyH]

Put on the 4.5" t-bolt clamp for the throttlebody coupler(was tight fit but it went on.)

 

[JeremyH]

Put the heat tape on the moded heat shield.

Hooked up the intake filter with a 3" to 4" straight pipe.

 

[JeremyH]

ALL done and some finished engine bay shots.

 

[jmn444]

looks good!

Well done sir! What did you have to do to get your filter/heatshield to work? I see a oddly shaped pipe in there? I have a C&L Racer intake at the moment and am seriously looking into the On-3 kit. This would help save a couple of bucks and a few days shipping. Also, how hard was it to get the turbo blanket to clear the pullies?

Also, do you have your MAF sensor in the tube coming up from the intercooler before the bend to the TB?


Thanks,

Jake
