Thanks Cosmo. Yup, that's it. Dwarfs the Walbro.

What'd you do for the pump sock? I know there's a bit of an issue with makigna piece that isn't going to restrict inlet flow to the pump. Chris ludwig hada beautiful bell mouthed piece he advocated. Just curious what you found or used.

Actually, Glen and Tom at AZRR fabbed up the sock for me, but from what I remember before install, it appeared to be nearly identical to what Cosmo shows in his post.

So did you install your wideband and start breaking this thing in?

I moved up to North Scottsdale so I am a ways away now. I could still help you out on the weekend if you need me to. Just let me know a few days in advance...and Saturdays work better for me than Sundays. If I help you with wiring and electronics can you help me fix my bumper gap?

Your car's gaps are PERFECT!

Ahhhh... I'd like to say yes, but unfortunately I'm not there yet. Pulled the IC and piping out yesterday to get it to my polisher. Also pulled the DP and started cutting it up to repair my WG clearance and fitment issues. Hoping to have it all back together by this weekend, which would be a great time to wire the WB. What you're proposing is definitely a fair exchange. I'll call you later this week to coordinate a time on Saturday!

OK everyone,

Here are some final pics. Finished up the undertray, although I'll probably pull it later next week to get it powdercoated.

Thanks to Tom and Glen from AZRR for riding with me last night to the Scottsdale Pavillions for the Saturday evening car show. Tom rode shotgun with me and datalogged and made adjustments to my map the entire way. With Tom richening up several areas of the map, I now feel that I can safely drive it through the break-in period. Here are some pics from yesterday with the completed engine bay, side skirts installed, new rear diffuser, etc, etc. Thanks again guys!!! The only thing left to install is my WI setup.

On the way to the event, ambient temps were around 84F and my intake air temp was 29C, water temps were between 84 and 86C. Coming home post event, ambient temps had dropped off into the upper 70s with my intake air temp dropping to 26C and water temps in the same range (84-86)

Now get that thing broke in and tuned so we can see some pretty graphs and numbers!

Also, wicked sounding as you drove off from Pavs last night. Definitely can hear the exhaust port work as it seems a lot louder.

Thanks for the props prrex4ever. Now I just need to get a turbo blanket on that sucka. It's putting out a lot of heat!

FC3S Murray · 04-29-2009, 09:09 PM

no shit, I am so happy I put on a turbo blanket.

FD looks fantastic man!

I have about the same intake temps. 20*C being the coolest ona 65 *F day. Proper heat reduction and dissipation makes a huge difference.

Thanks Murray. Got my turbo blanket Thursday and got her installed on the car. Seems to be making a huge difference in the amount of heat in the engine bay. Great sale and quick delivery from Alamo Motorsports. Here's a pic or two of the blanket installed. Still need to attach safety wire to the two metal buttons on each side of the blanket.

It was a little nerve-racking driving the car the first 30 minutes after install since smoke from the blanket breaking in was coming out my hood vents. Good thing I read about this beforehand or I would have REALLY been concerned.

Got the undercoat powdercoated gloss black and reinstalled today. Here's a few pics of the final product uninstalled AND installed. Also a few pics of the completed car. Now, just 1500 miles of break in, and we'll be heading for the Dyno. Just passed the 600 mile mark today.

Oops... forgot the best part...

chickenwafer · 06-16-2009, 11:20 PM

Oh snap Tim! I just found your thread. Great stuff man, one super clean FD

RCCAZ 1 · 06-17-2009, 01:46 PM
