I think you should paint your muffler flat black, would look really good.
well, this is how it goes. 6 months ago I put in a brand new turbo w/o the coolant lines, this is the how it looked today.

IDK if its visible, but there's oil everywhere on the compressor side. IDK what the f*** happened, but it aint good. Of course because it had a bullseye housing which are famous for snapping turbo bolts, all my bolts were trash, only one snapped. And I didnt think of that before and didnt have extra bolts, so quick trip to the hardware store and 30 bucks down the drain until the new bolts arrive.
Me and Skrap hae been busting our asses all day to put it together and weld the new DP and stuff. The new setup is B16g with MHI 7cm housing, and full 3'' turbo-back exhaust, still running stock boost tho.
First impressions were very positive. The B16g moves way more air than the S16g, and I did a couple of short pulls and it feels awesome. I'm having a small oil leak from one of the copper washers of the oil supply line fitting that i have to take care of.
Dont have pics of the new setup today, but Ill take some tomarrow when I wake up
just promise me you were not in a parking lot :lol:
I got that 20g for ya's!
Looks good man.
Having all that oil in the comp housing is usually an indicator that an o-ring, or bearing (if there is any shaft play), let loose. You might be able to get a rebuild kit for the turbo and turn around and sell it on Ebay.
^ thanks man!
Some pics if the tinted tails

I installed the fancy shmancy ARP turbo bolts and washers.... and literally all 4 snapped in a week. Torqued to spec and everything.
So i pawned my turbine housing off on some poor soul a loooooong time ago. The new turbine housings are made of cast stainless steel, but idk if that makes any kind of a difference.
I never got around chasing the threads. This was the first time I took that turbo housing off since i put it in back in August and bolts were still f-ed up. Oh well. I like the MHI 7cm housing much better now. Boost comes soooo much earlier plus the B16g is awesome

http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/...HPIM0900-1.jpg
Finally found a black hvac trim and got rid of the woodgrain one.
http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/...4/HPIM0902.jpg
In the right corner you see my 22mm rear sway bar. My car is gonna have the thickest rear sway bar of all 7 gen, shit even all FWD DSMs.
Very nice... Where did u get the ac knobs?
Does that battery bracket actually hold the battery down at all or just restrict side to side movement? Either way you know you should do something nicer. You've put a lot of work into the rest of the car, don't do a hack job on that. I don't know if you've seen my battery relocation in the trunk but there are plenty of nice ways to do it up right. The black trim and the coolant bottle are nice though :)
Moar parts in the mail today:
Finally the correct Arp bolts
http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/...4/HPIM0912.jpg
Another fan and turbo cooling lines
http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/...4/HPIM0911.jpg

So these are my new side skirts, They came off 00' Infinity g20 and I got them for $21.40. These are just perfect fit, even length wise. So for now, no JDM shits for me.
The other option I have tested and still good fit with little modifications are the Volvo 850 side skirts.

Props on being different!
Thanks!
And this is the third option. Its a perfect fit as well

I want them DUDE they look really nice!!
Nice info on the side skirts. There is a trashed Lancer in my favorite salvage yard. I'll have to see if it has skirts and how much they want for them.
if you take the stock tstat housing and shave it down some you can use the part where the upper radiator hose goes into and then you will not have to have two radiator caps on your car, thats what we did just put a set screw in where that bolt is with some rtv.
Mitch, that wouldnt have been the case cuz i had 1g Fluidyne aluminum radiator that i just sold. I was looking to buy a stock 7g radiator off ebay, but i just found a brand new radiator on one of the 1g's in the junk yard, I think im gonna go with it
they dont fit. I have one and the little mounting posts on the bottom are closer together then on the 7g which is why i just got a 7g on.Quote:

Maybe you should try 2g radiator. the lower mounting pins are located differently for 1g and 2g.
i just got a stock 7g one brand new from a parts store then i trimmed that piece where the upper radiator hose goes into and put a set screw in the burp hole.
