So got the parts I needed this week and went over yesterday and did another round of work. Happy to say the car is running again. Some pics with captions as usual:


Me working on the downpipe

Me working on the oil feed line

Oil feed line in place

The two parts I waited all week for installed on the turbo. Oil feed line done.

New t-fitting and oil pressure sender for the gauge.

Downpipe bolted up and oil return line in place.

Short route charge piping in place. You can also see the boost controller just a little.

Everything done. Just still need to route those red wires a little better.

Intake and BOV installed, and exhaust manifold heating up, starting to change color.

Front bumper back on.


RAN INTO A PROBLEM THOUGH

As I was pulling the car out of the garage, there was this weird click/thumping happening. Thought I really screwed something up. So I pulled her back in the garage and jacked her up to find this:




Apparently having the different angle of the evo3 o2 housing and having to tweak the downpipe a bit to get it to work changed the whole geometry of the exhaust. So now the flange of the exhaust is hitting on the universal joint of the driveshaft. It'll be a 20 minute fix today, just going to whittle the flange down with a shop grinder and all will be well.


Another shot of the manifold after it's been changing colors.

Shot of the o2 housing and funky o2 sensor placement. Those crazy japs.

Night shot of the head unit and turbo timer

Shot of the lighting around them


Anyway, should be driving the car in another couple hours. Just have to finish that one small problem up and i'll be good to go.
