Only have my resistor packs to wire up now! Anyone want to offer some help with them? they dont seem to hard really you have 4 black wires which one could go to each injector and then there is a white wire which i dont know where that one goes its either a 12v power or just a ground for the resistors.
Thanks mko!
coil ignition is wired up and i had to get another flange to move my turbo out some cause of the water pipe situation.

it will probably be back off tomorrow
cause thats how i roll lol!
Nah i got to get some new studs and stuff plus put a gasket in between the two flanges, so ill have to take it back off to do all that. I just put it on so i could rotate the thing and figure out how it was going to mount up and stuff.
Are you going to wrap that tubular manifold?? Or at least get it coated?? Its going to get soo hot.... You might end up cracking it....
do what i did mitch hi temp coat and wrap.
For sure dude it works wonders. And eventually get a turbo blanket and wrap the downpipe as well

closer just waiting for my iat bung to get welded on to my cold pipe so i can wire that in and start the bitch up. Going to put my fuel pump in tomorrow and finish up my exhaust. SOOOOOO CLOSE.
Oh and for anyone who wants to 5spd a galant the 3000gt shifter cables fit they are a bit long but long is better then short always haha. I got mine from a 92 vr4 and they work great.
Sweet spark plug cover!
yea it looks awesome im really happy with it and it was not to expensive compared to a oem one 20 bux extra and i got cf? Can't go wrong there.
Woot man! Can't wait!
so you gunna post up the "first start" vid
couple points of emphasis.
Ditch that shitty exhaust manifold gasket and get a mitsu 4 layer.
2nd,
ditch those studs and cheap fasteners for your head to manifold flange and get new OEM mitsu studs, OEM mitsu copper locknuts, and oem mitsu wahers.
install them properly and torque the nuts to spec. start car. drive it down the block. let cool, then retorque the nuts to spec.
I'm trying to help you avoid hours and hours of headaches and exhaust leaks from broken studs, backed off nuts, and broken studs.
Nice work can't wait to hear your first review of startup and test drive..
stop posting and get er did!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol im working on it haha. Just can't get the fuel pump out haha. Seriously though i know its taking a long time but consider what all happened with the car at once.
Oh yea and im a fucking idiot i pulled all those wired out and my maf was one of them sooooo now i have to re wire the ecu for a IAT sensor.
we tried with one of the other water pipes that i have laying around, but its so close to the block with out the pipe in there when we did it the pipe split so we came up with just spacing it out and then rotating the housing so that it would fit. It will still hit it with a half inch spacer. The other problem i was having was the cuppler was hitting the front engine mount which rotating it slightly and with the spacer it clears.
Another problem that im running into is my oil feed line wants to be kinked because of the manifold. I wondering if i should run the feed line off the oil filter block or just try and use the hole from off the head.
Feed that bitch from the head. Anyways. Youre going to be running a speed density type deal? Or are you going to be running the maf setup? If youre running speed density you can use the blue wire from the AEM meth progressive controller as a map sensor so you dont have to buy one.
the maf pro has a PNP harnes.. Should have used that!
this way was cheaper haha.
IAT $27
Knock sensor $60
MAP sensor $120
Maf Translator pro $200
GM Maf $50-$75
plus i would still need the knock sensor and the map sensor
that work is f-ing crazy bro i wouldnt even think of doing some shit like that lol... it looks great. great job. i definately give it to you for having the patience to do all that work i would be antsy as f*** to do it and probably grow bored lol. thats just me. but again great work and keep it up
Thanks, yea it was a long process so much trial and error and just figuring stuff out. All in all though it was not as bad as it looks just takes time and patience thats for sure.
Pretty much lol once i bought the head in october of 2008 till now is how long i have been working on it. I have had the car since 2006 did some minor things to try and clean it up then i just jumped into a turbo dohc 5spd swap all at once so its taking a bit for me to finish now.
Dude what manifold are you running? I don't understand who would make a manifold that has such clearance issues. Ebay?
If it is i'll tell you right now just skip to the end and buy a real manifold. Like the FP race manifold(they are going for soooo cheap right now) and they don't crack or break.
You and I both know you are going to have a slew of problems from this manifold.
I've had 5 different manifolds on my car.
I could have saved a LOT of time and trouble by buying a punishment racing manifold up front. The FP manifolds are sick.
btw
Eclipsh also runs speed density.
If its oil cooled, feed it from the filter housing. If its water cooled, I'd just feed it from the head.
It has to do with oil pressure and oil volume requirement differences between the two types of bearings.
yea it is just oil cooled im going to have to get a filter block i think? But yea im actaully really un happy with the manifold that i have for a number of reasons, when i first go it i took it to my old work and re welded all the welds that i could cause it would have leaked from the start and then i cleaned up the inside and all of the ports because of all the shitty welds that where on it. If i get another job ill but a better one sucks right now that money is a issue.

I could try and pick up one of those i need to get some new front tires though too lol im hoping that i can go back to work at my dads shop though since he is hiring on another second shift person just have to wait for them to give him the go on it so ill have more money coming in again.
