Yeah I can't wait to get the rest of my parts...

It's looking good! How do you like your O2 Sensor housing with atmospheric dump?

Thanks

And I will let you know when I get it on

I have heard that they are loud as SH*T... good luck, looks like you are really coming along with it.

Yeah a friend just put the same one on is car and he said it is F'ing loud...


Also I have a 3" 2g GST downpipe for sale if anybody is interested... It's still in the box... I paid $150 for it so make an offer...

Some progress pics












The new and the old...

A comment/ suggestion:

Please expose all of that FMIC to incoming air. If you don't cut the whole bumper (which I can definitely understand), might I recommend fabbing up a piece of plastic or metal to direct air from the bumper up to the top of the intercooler. That way more of the atmospheric air can cool more of the charged air

I am on top of it... As soon as I get the kit fitted I am going to cut the bumer to show every bit of the fmic

Function>Form


My car will be ugly as fvck but run like a raped ape.

Lemme know how those parts do ya. I'm looking at a similar parts set right now...

I loved my car when I was running that EVO VIII FMIC on it... the only problem that I found was reliability of all those fittings and clamps... I was using high dollar silicone fitings and T bolt clamps, I boost leaked checked my system to over 22 psi in the shop and it lost less than 5 psi over 5 min... but for some reason if I hit over 12 psi of accual boost from the turbo, nothing would hold together.

Looks good mate!

I need to get around to cutting my fan shroud to fit my FMIC piping...

I'm just curious, why would you try to go through the stock IC pipe location in the fenderwell? You could just short route it and go straight up through the radiator panel and go straight to the throttle body. I'm just thinking by short routing it that will save you quite a bit of lag time, especially with the stock turbo.

I didn't have the right piping to run it like that so I had to do what I had to do... When I do a turbo upgrade (16g) I am going to have custom pipes made.

I'm not a big fan of silicone elbows myself. The pipes and couplings look great though. You are a hard worker man. Keep it up.

Thanks!


Hopfuly my intake will be here tomorrow and then I can take her around the block as soon as I bolt the downpipe on and hook up the MBC.... There was a **** up on my cat-back so I have to ordered a new one so I will be driving it on a open down pipe tomorrow lol

lookin good dakota

Thanks!



I was hoping to get everything done by Friday so I can kill me an LS1 but I don't see that happening until next weekend

Bet you can't

Looks like you will need to invest in rubber stock, cause your gonna be burnin plenty of it with all that extra "OOMPHF" your adding! I can't wait to see what I looks like when its done.

What beat me some LS1 ass?


When my car was 100% stock I raced a LS1 camaro and only lost by half a car... So with my mods I am going to showing them some DSM tail lights

yeah I know... I wish she was AWD because I know I will be eating some tires lol

I can't wait to finish her... I am just waiting on my intake and then I have to order a new cat-back...

Nooo. Bet you can't get it done by this weekend.

I know I won't lol I am still waiting on my exhaust but other then that it's pretty much done...

Hehehe


After over a week of siting my baby is running again!

Here's a crappy vid... My damn turbo spools so loud! I love it! lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg2xLPNIGKU

I still need to bolt everything down and do some finishing touches...

Atta boy. Lol.


Mine runs!

It just grinds like hell and has no power with no boost


Just gotta get the trans in and find all the bolts for my stuff. Lol.

Sounds good-n-deep!

Yeah it's running an open downpipe lol

I am waiting on a damn cat-back and then she can hit the road again...

I drove my galant like that for a couple of days. If you shift at 2500 it sounds like a semi.

Still waiting on my damn exhaust...


But I am picking up a parts car...



I put money down on it tonight and should have in the next week or so...

Mark95's GST!!!! That thing hasn't been seen for a while.

I got my exhaust!



And yep I am going to pick up the 2gb GST wheels off of it today.

Well I finally got to take my baby out for a ride today after almost 3 weeks of
sitting...

At first I wasn't happy with the power I was actually pretty pissed. But I pulled over to find that I blew a ic pipe off... I drove to a friends and put it back on. Then made sure everything was good and then opened her up... And wow... It has so much more low end power... And once it hits 15-16psi it screams... I have yet to get it out where I can really open it up but I am pretty happy with the turn out...


I am pretty sure I have a small boost leak here and there so I am going to do a boost leak test, comp test.

I am going to need custom lower ic pipes because they hit every bump there is... So I don't know when I am going to get it legal I have a lot on my list that will come before I get it legal

Notice anything?



new wheels... They need cleaned...

Well I got a few pics of my baby today...


She needs a litte drop...

well I got to take her for a ride a few days ago and it feels like a whole new car... It's pretty quick... It was running on 16psi but I have turned it down to stock setting (13-14psi) to be on the safe side of things until I get link...

I ran my GSX like that for about a week... sounded bad ass at 7k RPM

and I agree, it did kind of sound like a semi if I shifted early at 2500... the turbo spools fricken loud as hell.
