OK its officially on its way and should arrive by thursday or Friday of next week. If there is anyone that would be willing to come and help with the install that knows what they are doing, I would be more then greatful.

Food and Drinks will be provided, as well as a place to stay. Probably going to be like pizza, subs, soda, beer, plus I have an ton of liquir as well for those none beer/soda drinkers.

It will Start either Friday night the 18th or early Sat morning the 19th.

Shit we could turn it into a 2gnt meet if you want.

Just let me know who all can make it for sure!

Thanks!

good luck and take some pics

Oh I will take a ton of pics, and I will also be taking video footage as well. I have a couple tripods and I plan on tapin the whole thing.

Man if I was closer to VA I would definately be there.


Gotta love winter

I wish you were too man! If I get enough people maybe it won't take as long! I appreciate any and all help!

Man take your time....Which kit did you buy? I got a stars kit and it came with alot of junk! I replaced 90% of the kit after i got it and took 2 months to install it the right way. But that is only working on it like 2 days a week. If you got the stars kit you might want to get a flex section, turbine gasket, manifold gasket, oil gasket, braided oil return line, missing link, maybe even send the down pipe out to be jet hot coated it's $15.00 a ft to be jet hotted inside and out the manifolds are 95.00 for jethot coating. But that is up to you.

Where exactly you at in VA, because I am in Charlotte NC, and I would be more than happy to come man. I am currently piecing together my own kit so I want to see how it's done as well. Just let me know I dont have anyhting wrote down for next weekend. I would be more than happy to come help a brother out.

Yeah, where in Va are you? I would be willing to come and help you out, and Im sure that I could get one of my other friends to come as well.

I live in VA Beach, VA.

Ok this is what I have that needs installed!

HRC Stage 2 with HRC FMIC:
-Turbocharger-Mitsubishi/HAHN Super 16G TDO5H-16G10CM2

That is what I have coming to install!

hey man, i live in norfolk, i would so LOVE to come watch and learn, im new to the eclipse world but man, its bad timing, ive got an engine coming next weekend that ive got to start getting into my baby. but id like to stop by and say hey to an older member of 2gnt, id like to learn something from ya :thumbsup and if i could get some tips on my engine it would be awesome!

sure everyones welcome to come. I really am hoping to have some experienced turbo installers come as well to help the install go smoothly!

Should be doable with 3 guys. I installed my own kit in 1.5 days. Damn Taco-Bell gave me the runs in the process.

hardest part IMO was wiring up the boost gauge with the stupid autometer nylon POS.

Take your time on the fuel system. Don't want to screw that one up.

Damn if you were in northern VA I would help. VA Beach is a pretty long drive though from Northern MD. Good luck.

whats your zip code? i wanna see how long of a drive it is from northern ohio? prolly only about 4-5 hours. if its less than or near 5 hours, im there fa sho if beer is there :cheers

The zip here is 23462 and it will take you at least 9 hours from northern Ohio. I know because I drive back home to Michigan twice a year and its a looooooong ass drive ;)

welp, count me out then, lol

I'll help you for sure. I'd like to stop by some time soon before the install to hang out and make sure you have everything you need before we start the install. I've helped on a few different turbo installations including xtremers's and soulcontroller's kits awhile ago and a couple others as well who aren't on 2gnt. Send me an email and let me know if you have time before next weekend.

yah man, you can come over tomorrow if you have time, or any day next week after 5. I just went and picked up everything on the list for the fuel system today. Only thing I don't have right now is the Walbro 255fp. I am getting ready to order that Monday morning, so I might have it by Friday, but that is a big maybe.

Anyone know where I could get one that ships them out fast that I might get it by Friday...the walbro 255fp that is?

Email me at goodgrieff_99@yahoo.com and I will hit you up with directions to my house and my cell!

Thanks again!

UPDATE: The turbo install will now be the following weekend due to the fact that my birthday is on Friday the 18th and I heard that people are throwing me a birthday party that Sat the 19th.

So sorry to throw a wrench into anyones plans that planned on coming to help out. But I it is definately going to be the weekend of the 26th and 27th.

Thanks

Ready4Dis - Portsmouth, VA (just need directions). I'll have to check if I have duty on those days (in the navy), but count me in for at least one day. I'm hoping to be ordering my turbo kit in the near future (within the next 2 weeks) and I already placed my megasquirt order with Mr. Slick, so I wouldn't mind coming to help (and learn) a bit about the install.

Also, let us all know if you need us to bring anything (tools wise), i've got a hydraulic jack and some jack stands, my air compressor and impact wrench, etc. Just let me know if you need me to try to fit them in my car :P.

Everyone that puts their name on the list, just email me at goodgrieff_99@yahoo.com and give me your:

name
address you are coming from
city, state, zip

and also include your phone or cell#

I will email you back with directions to my house from the address you give me in the email, along with my cell so in case you get lost on the way you can give me a call.

Thanks again for everyones help so far!

If you guys would like my shop closes at 12 noon on sat and we could install your kit here with a lift, air, and about $30,000 worth of tools cause my star kit should be here this friday. Email me if interested ,I'm located in saluda va which is next to gloucester va. only 1 hour or so from Da beach (tunerguru@wmconnect.com)

That is a nice offer...Just remember I just installed a kit and I'm having problems. So you might get the car in and turbo on..but it might not go anywhere.

Hope you get it running soon, and would like to see pics of your install! Yes its a great offer and I am checking with everyone to see if they would be interested or just do it in my driveway!

The install is kind of simple but yet a pain. You see all kinds of posts on here for little things like fuel, vac leaks, FCD or missing link. All these things probably occur on every install and need to be trouble shot. I would some how make a plan on what order your going to install parts to make sure everything is together right the first time around. I also would start using p-blaster now on manifold and exhaust so easy the trouble of removing. I p-blastered mine for two week ahead of time, it came off easy.

Wow, I would take up his offer in a heartbeat. Any tool needed, lift, discounted parts, and ASE master certifed!

I hope to be like this guy by next year lol.

Yeah, I found my self out buy tools doing my install...that wasn't figured into putting the kit on. These projects nickle and dime you. I did alot of up-grading on parts that cost me also took a loss on new parts that came with the kit just to upgrade.

Well I might take you up on that offer this weekend man! Let me talk to a few of the guys coming to help out!

Thanks again!

I'm always here! JUST ASK

Well got home at 5:30 and my kit has not shown up maybe by monday any way my car is still over getting painted anyhow.... good luck on your kit and if you all get in a bind just email me.......

thanks man I really appreciate the offer.

Here is the game plan for tomorrow. Meet at my house between 9 and 10am we will start then. I will have donuts, coffee, juice, and milk. I will aslo provide hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill for lunch and pizza for dinner. I also picked up a couple cases of beer and soda as well.

See you all tomorrow!!!

BTW rucr8z2 maybe when I get my clutch and 3" exhaust in a couple weeks I could take you up on that offer. A lift would really come in handy to install both of those!

Alright. I think thats it....oh yeah everyone bring any sockets, extentisions, open wrenches, flare wrenches, and tools you can.

see yah tomorrow!
