any finished pictures, joe?

 

Fail #1: it's an 08 - IT will rape an 09...
Fail #2: he drag races it - He raced it ONCE.
Fail #3: FMIC on a stock turbo - New g20 in the mail, new injectors in the mail, bigger fuel pump already installed.
Fail #4: horrible FMIC setup, the bumper will block most, if not all, the air flow to it. - Grill is cut out.. FMIC is fully visible.
No pics yet, lol. Hes gotta data log it and finish the dremeling of the front bumper so it looks clean and not a hack job, lol.

Yeah, it released alot more pressure than I thought it would.. watching the fuel trims on his tuner software I notice the car runs real rich at intial throttle and tapers back 0.0%... I expected that so it needs to be tuned out. He also needs to play with his Perrin BPV to adjust the spring pressure... had a tad bit of surge.
The turbo lag is not really noticeable with this setup.

 

psi is pressure..... putting a bigger fmic will release some of the pressure, hence the drop in psi. i bet it's a tad bit laggy now too.

pics of completion..... now.

 

ross talks so much ****. its funny havin him on my facebook. im half considering taking a trip to florida when i get my turbo swap and rape his car and visit some other people for the forums possibly

 

Just got a message from him saying the coolant cover popped off.... the new tank used the factory cap. I know he didn't have much coolant to begin with either... he bought a knock off turbo xs. Some fabrication required

 

i got a knock off turbo xs bov....and i got a authentic one.....the knock off one actually works fine

 

thinking about going lower...what springs are lower than sportlines?

 

i think SSC springs go a bit lower. get some Megan Racing coilovers, they're inexpensive, decent quality and will get you the low you want.

 

well yeah, The whole IC kit is a knock off Turbo XS. SOOOo many fitment issues. Nothing a hammer and a piece of cardboard couldnt fix though

 

i like real stuff that is direct bolt on

i'm trying to decide if i want to sell the magnaflow catback or have it modified...... hmmmmm

 

Modify it! and never heard of the megan racing coil overs, ill look into that

 

because i'm lowered and have the rotated tranny mounts on..... the exhaust is all jacked up and doesn't fit like it should. so when i have a resonator added to kill the drone i'll have them adjust the way it hangs in the exhaust tunnel and over the axel and the in the bumper cutout.

 

yiou want to see what it looks like? here's an IDea, We followed this DIY when installing it... .kinda...

2008-2010 TurboXS FMIC Install Guide - NASIOC


car looks like its smiling with braces... thank God he got a black IC.

 

can't see the pics here at work..... oh well.

 

ahh dururrrr

 

sigh.... anyone know where you can find a coolant overflow tank cap?

Pretty big ******* problem with doing these front mount swaps is they make you reuse the factory cap.... problem is they pop off while your driving.... and they dont sell and after market cap...

 

duct tape

 

did you guess touch anything with the coolant system?

 

thats what I told him for a temporary fix. what a nightmare. shoulda done more research.

 

yeah, replaced the coolant tank with their smaller one.. stock cap goes on it. problem is, it didnt stay. Who knows when it popped off and what road its on, lol

 

i made my exhaust and i don't even have problems like that hahah plus your dp has a flex join i don't see how that or rotated trans mounts even effect you exhaust. the only issues Ive heard of is hitting the rear axle but that can be fixed with an extra hanger..


ps : sounds like you didn't loose fit everything before tighten it all up lol

 

sounds like your a ********!



it's hitting in the exhaust tunnel under the car, the over axle section isn't being held up high enough (hitting the axle) and the muffler isn't sitting right in the bumper.

if YOU can do welding, pipe bending, etc..... we need to talk.

 

whatsup everyone?

 

my damn mouth is numb...this sucks

 

my body hurts lol
