[run1206]

x2!

FYI thats not threadlocker on the wideband sensor, its anti-sieze so the sensor wont get stuck in the bung and the amount on there is just fine. o2 sensors have a built in washer to keep them tight, you dont wanna use loc-tite.

What did you mean by "no name on the cd"? Were you expecting it to say something specific? The CD is just contains install instructions, user manual and datalogging software.

Forum rollback lost my post about that, thanks for bringing it up again.

yeah, i posted new years day when we had the new TGC up, had to repost but Tim reminded me it was anti-seize earlier...still, thanks for the heads up on that. As far as the name on the CD, underated says he got his name on his CD, sso i assumed the same on mine :?

LOL!! yeah i ate soooo much that night too

can't wait till its finished!!

x2!

same here, amazing how most of the items i got within a few months, thought it would take me at least a year to do all this, still...i know the installation and tuning is gonna take some time as well

[underated]

haha yah they sent me another cd with a bunch of programs on it like mitsulogger ect and it had my name on it too lol... i figured out they changed the discount code to "racevideo" maybe you get that extra cd when you use that code

UPDATE: the Digital Air/Fuel Gauge came in yesterday afternoon.




i've had the WRX injectors for about two weeks, but since i was home, i took a pic of those as well


i'm currently looking at pre-made water/oil line kit on Ebay and various websites to see what the fittings i need look like. (gonna go to jegs.com and summitracing.com to get the actual "end" fittings)

as far as the DP, i might buy from here...
http://stores.ebay.com/Performance-Curve
(sorry for the newb question, but does anyone know how many 45, 90 degree bends i need for a custom DP, i assume a 90 and two 45s, though i might be wrong :smt102 )

more to come soon

edit:

The first one looks most "universal". I just got some mandrel bends off eBay. I used two 45* bends and 4 90* bends, along with 2 straight pipes.

nm, found my answer :oops:

[spdracr]

any updates yet ??

[run1206]

any updates yet ??

yup!
update: the downpipe piping is in. i only ordered one set of the U/V bends, but i might order another one in the near future, just in case.




also purchased the flex pipe


still have to get the tapped oil pan and gaskets, but i'm pretty close to done in terms of getting the main parts for the turbo. Now it's only the small things (other than the oil pan) and the end fittings. Other than that, i'm considering using the steering wheel gauge pods for my Boost and AFR gauges, while i might put my EGT gauge where the cigarette lighter is, if not then i'll try to put all three in the extra compartment in the radio bezel.

probably the next few items i'll purchase online is the flanges for the DP and the end fittings for the oil lines. i'm so excited how i'm almost done with purchasing the parts. the real obstacle is installing it together, hopefully i can get this all done before we have our turbo/sc race meets.

more to come soon 8)

[kolio]

keep us posted. i'm hoping to be boosted by them too

nice! can't wait to see the pic. :D
my Hi-Heat Coating can just came in today, gonna take pics of that later on.

Stewi: i kinda made an accident and ordered the end fittings prior to sending you the payment :oops:
hopefully i can exchange them for ones that i do need if they are angled the wrong way.

[qnz]

i need a new oil pan and fitting welded. Hook me up too Brian

[run1206]

here's the pics of the hi-heat coating can



most of the auto stores i shop at don't have it, i had to order it from jegs.com.
the fittings for the oil lines will be from jegs.com as well. they have unbelievably fast shipping; i bought the coating on friday :shock:

the only thing i need left is the oil catch can (if i need one...) and the circular fitting on the oil inlet, and the gaskets for the turbo, o2 housing, etc... and i'm done with parts. :D
(almost there.....)

[Stewi]

Drew a few things.....


Are you using heat wrap then using the paint to paint the heat wrap? The reason I ask is because if you read the fine print, the paint is good for 2000 degrees when used with heat wrap, without the wrap its only good for 1300 degrees like most other high temp paint. There is one other brand, I think maybe MtCavity posted it but im not certain, that has a 2000 degree paint that doesnt need the wrap. I used that same paint you posted without the wrap, and it all came off in a matter of hours. Your EGT's in any type of boost will be in the 1400-1600 range.

Aaron, I didnt weld the fitting to Drew's pan, I used a bulk head fitting as per his request, but you can do it either way. I personally like welding it because you rule out the chance of having a leak, but the bulkhead fitting seals up fine as long as you use the correct sealing rings.

[run1206]

^^
yes, i am using heat wrap, Roman gave me a set a few months ago. I'll be using both, so i assume the protection will be up to that mark. After the install, i'll double check on the EGt to make sure i'm within reasonable temp limits for the coating and wrap.

[Stewi]

Ohh you'll definetly be under 2000, I have never gotten it passed 1800, and 1800 was on two back to back no cool down dyno pulls.
