nice pics...

 

That is chrome??

 

these pictures make me want my kit so i can start hacking my bumper already!!!

 

as it turns out...taylor is the only company that makes the correct boot/end for lt1/ls1 coils. i made these wires from MSD. (you will get the correct wires from hi-flo with your kits, im just doing part of this on my own to get the car running) so i have those ordered to arrive tomaro...and ill swap those ends on these wires. i knew these didnt feel right, didnt click on like the stockers... so it looks like i wont have it running until tomoro...which kinda relieves me cuz i want to make sure this is done right.... ill still try to start it up tonight, but i dont think these wires will arc well, so i doubt it will run.

no, thats the one aluminum pipe the kit, the one between the turbo and intercooler. it is left bare aluminum as we want that pipe to NOT hold in heat and dissapate it.

 

bill u got any tracking numbers for anyone today? maybe me?

 

What is wrong with you Bill? why the hell I have not been called, pm'd, nothing. This is the kind of **** customer service we can expect from HIFLO? In the last 2 weeks you told me 4 false delivery dates. WHY? It is now 2:45 friday western time and Iam completly left in the dark with my money or parts, congratulations Bill you bought yourself another weekend cause my **** aint going today or tomorrow we know that. I had enough of the lying, less than poor customer and what it really comes down to is lack of respect so today I called MBNA.

p.s turbols1, Iamvery sorry to jack the your thread but these bastards dont answer their phone or messages, I know they are checking here.

 

^^^^ouch, hope you get it figured out man

 

What I'd like to see is the Incolnel Turbo heat sheild they spoke of that was included with the kit... any of you guys got that yet?

 

any new news on ur build? get anymore little things taken care of? by the way are u gonna use a boost controller?

 

rain, and waterpump issues. i will have it set to tune first thing in the morning. i plan on running on the wastegate for a while (.9 bar). my buddy has a profec b (the old style, that works)....might use that, might buy a turbosmart....just something cheap for now..... .9 bar for low boost on my motor should suffice tho

i just want to get the car on the road for now...after shakedown ill worry bout the gadgets

 

if the airdamn is underneath it then up... and maybe the air through the bumper is for the radiator or somethin

 

had the car running, just at idle. started right up, open downpipe. sounds sick, could hear the spool with light revs, and u can really hear the cam with the open DP. i may go for a while w/o the exhaust cuz its not too loud, at least not with the crew i cruise with.

have a little niagara falls waterpump issue due to my over-the-weekend, no available alum tig-welders, hack job. my buddy JB came over to weld some fittings, turned out he didnt do a good job. so im gona finish up all the loose ends tonight, have fittings tig'd to the WP tomoro, then i shouldbe good to go.

everything with the kit seems to be pretty solid tho

 

sounds awesome, u better of videoed that first startup, remember im vicariously living through u until i get my kit......

 

Nice pics man, looks good. Well built kit...

 

lol, my cameraman wasnt present, however, that was the practice first startup.... ....
i should have lots of vid of the next startup and lots of tuned vid.....dont u worry

i have a checklist of like 12 things i gota do tonight....luckily i got off of work tomaro....so i can take care of the waterpump then, and clean up the car cuz its a ****** mess...and my buddy/tuner gets home from work about ~6 (Firehawk853 from J and J Speedshop).... since the car already was running on 2bar NA, we can build off of that, and it shouldnt take long to get a decent tune on it. the car actually started up smoother and cleaner than it did NA. i should be goin WOT tomaro night....

 

what tuning software u using? and what size is ur cam by the way?

 

hpt 2/3 bar (2 at the moment).... cam is a J and J Speedshop 22x/22x .57x on a 115

 

i just read ur sig for the first time and i realized that ur gonna make some F-ing sick power.... nice


I just noticed something...... the BOV is before the intercooler? does anyone know if that effects anything?? also did u loose ur cruise control???

 

my cruise control is right on the throttle body so no. for guys with it over in the battery area,,,,i just mounted my catchcan there, so i dont think ull have any problems....

i was surprised to se the BOV before the IC too,.,,havent seen that before,,but if it works it works....


..hope to make some power
