[GOOSEY2099]

Get the one from tearstone

[spdracr]

are u using the stock fuel line or I'm assuming that u gonna get a SS line to go along with the fitting

Why don't u take some pics and show us what the problem exactly

Btw where is the fuel filter located on our cars??

i'm gonna use the stock line for now, probably will do the SS lines when i go back.
didn't take a pic of the problem site though, i only have one though, but it's focused on the wrx injectors. i'll upload it soon.

GOOSEY: this?

edit:

WRX injnectors are in, they're a DIRECT bolt-on. i have a CEL light now (too lean) i have to readjust either the latency or the pulse width of the injectors :?

[laxinwarrior]

Yeah man get the adapter Roman posted that's exactly what you need.

[run1206]

damn, should've known earlier, i got the adapter from extremepsi as well :oops:

edit: just ordered the billet adapter from tearstone, should be sent out by tomorrow morning. :)
gonna try to cancel the order for the extremepsi adapter

That peice bolted right on, then i used a barb fitting on it and hooked it up to my fpr.

good to hear. i decided to get both just in case, though i'll be trying the tearstone adapter first.

btw, how did you get the lines to stay inside of the fittings? JBWeld?
i tried to screw them in but it keeps sliding out... :?

[Stewi]

are you talking about AN lines?

The idea is to slide the hose into the coupler all the way, then use some type of oil or lubricant, a very little bit of it, on the inside of the rubber hose, then push the barb in, hold the hose itself tight, dont hold the coupler, hold the hose. use some lubricant on the threads as well, then tighten it all the way down. The key to tightening them is to not stop. If you stop for too long and try to start up again, its a PITA and sometimes you can even damage the fitting.

UPDATE: i've driven over 100 miles and still no Check Engine Light from the innjector flash :D :D

i just put in the MAF translator a few hours ago; sitll no CEL (i hope running it now still leaves it zeroed out - unless i have to reconfigure that when installing the turbo), i'll post up some pics either tonight or tomorrow afternoon. hopefully during wednesday i'll be able to mount the intercooler, not too sure though.

the tearstone adapter is on the way as well

pics to come later

[run1206]

k, i'm thinking about mounting my intercooler today. checked the service manual, though i haven't checked my bumper yet. i assume that their isn't pre-drilled holes where the IC would mount

anyone who has mounted one, have you had any troubles with mounting?


sorry for double post :oops:

[spdracr]

no predrilled holes through but there is 2 holes on the top of the crash bar that u can drill through it to he bottom but what I did is I marked the holes of the intercooler and drilled the first 3 layers with a big bit and them the last where the screw is gonna be holding the intercooler was a smaller hole

[mtcavity1]

There will actually be indentions in the framing of the radiator support/front frame that match the 2 1/2 intercooler piping, go a bit lower than that and it should go in nice. Along with some trimming of the inner bumper piece. I welded on the supports for the IC.

Check out my CarDomain pictures to see what it looked like before and after.

It almost seems their was supposed to be one there already! F'ing USDM market...


Edit - PS, you did so good on your tune, you can tune mine in next time I have to!

[spdracr]

I wish I welded mine on but instead I drilled through

I didn't see those indentation u talking about kory

What angle r the pipes connected to the IC ?? I'm using 180 on each side

What r u gonna use drew ??

the same piping underrated sent me, he used it on his setup so i'm sure it works, just gotta test fit and mark the spot where to cut since i don't have a drill right now

you lost me on the "good tune" part; i only put in the numbers that Brandon had for the WRX injectors and got the CEL out :smt102

i see that you welded the two supports to the radiator support, so i'll wait til this weekend to work on that, maybe i'll just take off the bumper and mark where the spot for the IC would be for now...

[mtcavity1]

See the indentation on the frame near the oil filter?






This was messed up and too high up in the air dam.







And now...

[spdracr]

im guessing u removed the crash bar ??? i think my IC is too low for those indentations but ill figure something out

[mtcavity1]

The crash-bar will fit with minor modifications, the equivalent of about a half hour on an angle grinder.

im not too familiar with 02/03 8g's but if they arent already open, you may want to open up the left foglamp bezel vents. this way you can get nice airflow to the oil cooler. Was there a specific reason that you relocated the oil filter?
