yep, you heard me. I'm coming back to the 5sfte community. Doing things a little different this time around, here's what I can remember so far that I'm doing differently:
Genuine HKS BOV, the new 2007 design Got my injectors cleaned and flow tested at witchhunter. They were is poor condition before and are great now! Going with a SAFCII instead of a neo. I got it for about $75 cheaper, and it measures knock. I was gonna get a greddy emanage ultimate, but I don't have a laptop to tune it with and it just looked too complicated for me to figure out how to tune it by myself, so maybe I'll upgrade later. Got a custom stailness braided oil feed and drain line kit made specifically for my 5sfte. I just gotta weld a fitting onto my oil pan but I'm having a hard time finding someone willing to do it. I'm fixing my radiator fan which was broken before. the motor fell out of the blade cause it was hooked up wrong I'm using a regular sized radiator instead of the koyo, for a little more engine bay room I'm relocating the battery to the trunk and I'm cutting my IC piping down a lot for a cleaner install, might even paint them like LewFX that's all I can think of right now, pictures to come. hope to be running by the end of the week after 6 months of down time! -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

I plan to get an early start tomorrow morning and get it all finished up as much as I can. I hope to have it started by tomorrow night, but no promises.
as for my feed line, has anyone ever even tried anything other than a -3AN on a 5sfte before? besides, the difference between -3AN and -4AN is a mere 1/16th of an inch O.D. the inner diamter on AN hoses can vary. QUOTE(http://en.wikipedia.org) AN sizes range from -2 (dash two) to -32 in irregular steps, with each step equating to the OD (outside diameter) of the tubing in 1/16" increments. Therefore, a -8 AN size would be equal to 1/2" OD tube (8 x 1/16 = 1/2). However, this system does not specify the ID (inside diameter) of the tubing because the tube wall can vary in thickness. Each AN size also uses its own standard thread size.
