SkiDMaN Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Heres my on going project i thought id post for all the people that don't know about it. Various pics of install after recieveing it back from the shops it was running on 5 cylinders and not holding a idle.... those problems have been fixed... now all thats left is exhaust, brakes, suspension and engineering i have the brakes and suspension from the front cut (jza70) so this weekend will be the attempt of bolting up those brakes... and hopefully the strut tower to the silly car. exhaust goes on in 3 weeks and then 2 weeks later will be engineering... so yes... to all the people asking... it will be back on the road soon :D ill keep posting on hear as the project progresses :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Looks... Like fun. Are you anticipating any problems with engineering? From what I've heard you can't run a surge tank in-cabin like what you've done, but I may be wrong. I'll bet you can't wait to "drive down to the shops" once it's on the road :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiDMaN Posted June 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 well i went for my first offical ride in the silly car. first thing i noticed was the richness.... popping and blowing big flames... built the exhaust half way under the car... so i put some big bad ass burn marks on the under body :D then i went for the first accel planting.... starts to pick up speed... "wheres the boost" *plants again* still no boost.... at this time the jaw had dropped and we pulled up and played with the waste gates... still no boost.. friend says.... lets take the lines of the waste gate... i thought... well what the hell.... so we gave it a try... still no boost... by this time it was getting onto 5pm... getting dark and it was getting harder to see what we were doing... so we parked it. started again this mornin after thinking on it over night... first thought was... take the cooler out and see if it was blocked... the turbos were spooling cause it was lettin gushes of air out of the bov when i let of... and the bov was before the cooler... so of came the cooler.. and there it is.... METAL SHAVINGS EVERYWHERE... *blinks a few times* cut the story down a little... when they were making the cooler pipes... they didnt clean them out after cutting them... so i took all the pipes of... cleaned them... shook the cooler a bit and lots of crap was coming out... i decided on not putting it back together... and getting a new cooler or getten the cooler flushed out... /rant p.s. more to come in the mere future :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Metal shavings? oooh, hope they didn't mess up your engine too much... Metal shavings in the engine is never a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
