So if ne1 is interested check it out especially you guys that are thinking about buying turbo, you can see the process of putting one on.

So how did you deal with the BOV and the Oil pan/Downpipe problems?
11421, RE: Star Stage 1 Turbo install pix inside
Posted by HadesOmega, Nov-30-01 05:38 AM
oh haha we cut the BOV section of the piping and put couplers on it and then rotated it downward so it doesn't hit the battery. :)

Haha looks like I got everyone scared with all the troubles I went through haha. Nameless got his installed in 2 day. I had work and other stuff to do so that's why it took longer for me. The actual amount of work probably goes to 2 days.

Just plan ahead hehe, the car can be out of commission for awhile.

Yeah Kory I'm working on getting all my mod pix up first, I have this giant collection of mod pix but no1 can see it but me, gotta fix dat first. Almost done I will unveil it soon.... ^_^

where exactly does the inline fuel pump go? i'm confused about that part. it seems like the fuel part is the hardest thing to me

If i remember correctly...Hades actually has 2 pumps....
I have my fuel pump actually in my fuel tank....wasn't that hard to do and the instrucions how to install them that came with the kit were pretty simple to understand...

i thought you just replaced the pump. his pictures just confused me i guess. what about the bov section cut out
11427, RE: Star Stage 1 Turbo install pix inside
Posted by HadesOmega, Nov-30-01 08:37 AM
Only Star Stage 1 kits with a BOV option have that problem. The Stage 2 piping is fine.

Yes I have 2 Pumps. Hence the word inline. So they are connected on the same line. Makes for lotsa fuel!!! Too much is what I have to say hehe.. But I heard you can lean out with just the walbro, so that's why Wyatt hooked us up with airtex pumps.

The reason that my downpipe touched my oil pan is that Star has shoddy fabricators hehe :P That's the way it came. The muffler shop fixed it when they welded the new exhuast system on so it's all good now.

Hades..I love the bloodly knuckles...I was bleeding almost the whole time I was under the car trying to torque those damn rusted bolts.
"I think it's coming, OH SHIT" sound familier? Nice pictures...

K I'll post the Disc install in the handling section once I upload.

Haha blood.. The worse one for me was when I was trying to loosen up the compressor bolts and my hand slipped and I chunked a piece of skin off hitting the piping clamps. Haha it bled so much that my whole hand was bloody! :( Haha after I cut my hand lets just say, I didn't wanna work on the car anymore :P

haha 2 installs, 2days each and no blood or "oh shits" but a lot of "fuuuuck" "fuck it "god damn it" "shit" " I cant" and "bitch as car" under the breath and a few times out loud. Ah well there I go living in the past again.
