67332, UPDATE! In time for IL 2gnt meet!
Posted by babybeclipse, Mar-21-04 04:02 AM
Now INTERCOOLED! Thanks Chris for most of the work (and blood loss lol)

Now onto the pix!






She feels MUCH better. I'm running less boost but she still pulls the same on the street (and pulls much better on the expressway :P ). Thanks to ERT for the mendrel bent pipes.

And this is what's going to be swapped out today

no no not the turbo the oil feed into the turbo. The GOTTUDE unit is leaking on me.

sorry for the blurry pic.

peace

i know, i kick ass. my hands are so covered in cuts, its not even funny, lol. i think both me and you left enough blood under the hood of your car to save several dying people, haha. to fill anyone in, nothing was premade. me and brian spent all day yesterday making it fit just right. its a gst sidemount(unmodified) and yes we got it to fit perfectly.

ps: brian, you still owe me.

Congrats man! I just installed my HRC SMIC this past Wednesday so I know what you went through. And mine was no picnic either, everything seemed to always be off by like 1 cm so we had to make it fit. Hopefully I'll be able to check it out at the meet.

Forgot to mention. After taking her for a spin last night. I actually FELT the differance in temp. on the piping. I didn't expect that much of a difference. The pipe from the turbo to the intercooler was MUCH warmer than the TB pipe }( :thumbsup

EclipseRS-T, So you made all your own piping? Any pix? I actually have pix of the blood on my car lol

oh ya-NOW, I know what LAG IS :bash

Heh, no it was the HRC stage 2 piping and IC, it just didn't fit lol. Every measurement was just barely off so we couldn't thread a bolt or move a pipe over. Sucked. I made a thread a little farther down on the page of the turbo section here and there's some pics in that.

*Ugh, here's the slightly modded black panel for the inlet. Fuck you panel, fuck you indeed* Indeed my friend, fuck that black panel. Notice the zip-ties holding my ECU in place?

Those pipes are beefy. What are they 2.5"? Did you buy those mandrel bends online and just peice them together or something? Have a pic of your engine bay all together from the top? Im gonna be putting in a fmic and need some ideas for piping.

Not to get off topic but when is the IL 2GNT Meet? If it is when I think it is (this Sat.) then is it okay if me and another 1G turbo tag along?
