[hurley97]

I know... I think I'm a little scared of it....

[celicast3sgte]

haha scared of it how???

[fran]

Nice project!

Nice clutch!... im pretty shure that will work fine! dont worry abouit it! looks pretty nice!

I just think that you must get a bigger turbo!... little more big

Very nice proyect!... Good luck with it!

By the way!... You 6g its beautyfull! i like it a looot!

[i_want_vtec]

cheap wideband

I'm afraid of compromising the daily driveablility of the car

eh, it would beweird at first, but after it got broke in and you got used to it, I doubt you would care, just be smilin!

[celicast3sgte]

naw itll be fine. ive driven all sorts of clutches. that one will have quite a bit more pedal pressure than your OEM one but it wont compromise driveability just give you a bigger thigh lol

expect it to totally suck ass for the first month or so, but hopefully after that it will get better.

[hurley97]

its been almost a week now, I've got about 250 miles on it. for the first couple of days, yes, it totally sucked... but for the last day or two its been much better, I'm not sure if the clutch wore itself in or if I'm just getting more used to it.

[lagos]

nice! it will smooth out more and more as its breaks in.

[FortuneCookie]

Nice. Good job on the efforts.

[hurley97]

update: I think I am falling in love with my clutch, it grabs so nicely now with over 700 miles on it


I bought a new flange for my exhaust manifold (it has a T3 flange on the end and my turbo is a T25 footprint) so Manny can continue his welding projects that he loves so much (that is not to be mistaken for sarcasm).

I also got the flex section for my exhaust. Its 2.5" SS 6" long flex section from ATP Turbo.

[celicast3sgte]

comin along nicely. whats the projected ET? sorry if youve already said so.

[hurley97]

I've run into some financial issues but I'm still trying to gather more parts, it's just going slower now.


Battery relocation is done. I still need some intercooler stuff, a BOV, and then start going over piping with Manny

[FortuneCookie]

Wow. Still alot of work to be done. But hey, look on the bright side. At then, there will be a BIG smile on your face when manny says, "Ok... we're done."

I may also want to get a turbo timer. I'm still not sure about it and I guess I can always get one later.

I'm also trying to decide if I want to give in and sell my APEXi AFC Neo and get an E-Manage Blue. What I like about the Neo is the ability to change settings as well as see what the current correction is as I'm driving.

Sell the safc, dont buy a turbo timer, and put the money into an emanage.
The wideband will give you all the info you need, and you'll be able to datalog while driving with the emanage. Not to mention that the Emanage can independently control fuel and timing. Thats a huge benefit. The SAFC really should never be used to try to control bigger injectors.

If you really want a turbo timer I highly recommend the Blitz dualTT with digital boost gauge. Its more accurate then any gauge I've ever used. The only downside is that it reads in BAR, but you get used to it quickly.... and the turbo timer part works fine too.

emanage blue can control timing? I thought only the ultimate could?

[normality78]

yes u can, all u need to is get the harness which is pretty cheap
