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 |

Well, the car runs! When we had started it before, the negative battery terminal was not tight at all. this way we could disconnect it quick in case of emergency. well, when I had revved before, the vibration must've knocked it loose or something because I tightened it up and then started it and it worked fine! I gave a couple revs, and I'm a bit surprised to say that the blow off valve blows off even when the car is not under load! and it sounds amazingly good! I only revved to about 3500 and it blew off very nicely. I'm really glad I decided to spend the extra money on a genuine HKS and not a knock-off BOV.
anyway, I wanted to finish up the gauges tonight, and I did but when I turned the key only one came on I got frustrated and gave up for the night, but it should be on the road before the end of the weekend. -------------------- 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 |
