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 |

On your last set up you had 2-3 bad/blown turbos, correct ? and you have a good one now, correct ? If I were you I would make sure I do everything I could to keep this one good...
I think some are critical because some of the things you do or say can be either harmfull or dangerous to your set up. We all want to see you succeed, and there are some very important things you cannot cut corners, cheap out, or rig up to work temporarily. Be patient, do research, get the correct parts, and then you'll make Manny and Art proud. -------------------- |
