Got my throttle body, connectors for the EWP harness, and ordered my TurboXS catback.

I made the EWP harness, and hooked up my oil pressure gauge and started working on some of the wiring.

I need to get the mounts installed, brakes installed and downpipe mounted.

I have my GMPP rotors being turned and ordered some SSSC OEM pads (the good ferrodo ones)

I really need to figure the best way to drill the holes for my EWP bracket

 

off topic, kinda, im assuming you make your own -an hoses ... any tips or tricks to that ?

I just bought the Koul Tool and im going to give it a shot this weekend.

 

yeah ive been making the hoses.

best thing I can suggest is to use a bench vise, and buy the AN vise insert from Jegs

 

Factory SS/SC pads were Ferrodo like the SS/TC pads??

 

yup

 

Ive heard good things about the koul, just never used one myself.

Ive made a couple by hand no problems

 

turned my GMPP rotors


sneak peak of my TurboXS GTRS Exhaust

 

This, it's def not that difficult. A vise def makes things easier, but it can be done by hand no problem. Granted I haven't made any with PTFE lining though.

 

Never knew that. Nice.

 

thanks for all of the insight guys ... and Jap i think the thing at the bottom your gutter down spout is backwards lol

 

you want it to break the splash

 

well ill give an update I guess.

I put the nitrous bottle back in the car.
got my tires swapped over to my new TSW wheels
installed the exhaust completely
breaks and suspension are back together
mocked up the charge piping and figured out final list of fittings
installed my powell roll pins

so heres a detailed list of whats left to do...mostly for me as a checklist

torque rear trans mount, reinstall upper trans mount since roll pin install
fill trans case with oil
bleed clutch lines
install charge piping and clamps
reinstall driver wheel
hookup Powell revised PCV kit
hookup new fuel fittings
reinstall bumper and headlights

only parts yet to order is the WOT Box, shift light and injectors

 

Nice, you are on the downhill run now.

 

got a bunch done this weekend

torque rear trans mount, reinstall upper trans mount since roll pin install - DONE
fill trans case with oil - DONE
bleed clutch lines - DONE
install charge piping and clamps - Hotside done, cold side after installation of EWP hoses
reinstall driver wheel - DONE
hookup Powell revised PCV kit - almost done
hookup new fuel fittings - in the mail
reinstall bumper and headlights - on and popping

 

 

Damn love the color of your engine bay man. The silver/red really goes well together. Getting closer I see. A bit jealous of your tensioner tool btw.

 

yeah it is the TVS grey color. looks awesome

 

Car is looking mean

 

You think that fogger will be okay there? Seems awfully close to the #4 runner to get a decent distribution. I would personally move it further upstream, but I know that's difficult with the charge pipes already powdercoated

 

same location I had with the TVS. The manifold will pressurize either way.

 

On the tvs I'm going to assume it was pre blower though

The issue is that even though the n2o may "fill" the manifold and distribute equally, the fuel may not along with it. This is how I blew my engine. The wideband was reading solid afrs, but the fuel was favoring 2 cyl. Two cyl were very rich, and 2 were very lean (and grenaded).

I'm not telling you what to do, just trying to help. The way you have it setup now doesn't seem like you will have proper atomization/mixing/distribution through the bank I would personally spray further upstream rather than blast n2o and fuel directly into the manifold and hope it works out

 

no I understand your logic, my thought was on manifold design... on a saab, plastic LE5 or LNF manifold, the middle 2 cylinders will certainly get more flow. on an LSJ laminova manifold, It wouldn't matter due to the U-turn.

now as far as a log runner tapered port design im not sure. I could always model it at work and see. perks of being a real engineer

 

Looks good man glad it's coming along

 

damn its like 2 steps forward, 1 back.

nitrous fittings worked like a champ, messed up a fuel fitting on the retrun that I need to redo. got my hoses for the EWP last night, just need the couplers for them from home depot.

I plan to get all this done this week with hopes of having everything installed this weekend.

 

At least you get two steps forward. I get one forward and two back
