Funkalicious21's Protege5 Build/Progress Thread~!

i had problems with the throttle body cable too when i had a thermal spacer, but i ended up just taking it off. i'm curious to how well the ftc and j&s will work together.. i was gonna try it but ill see how you like it first :D

I only have the FTC atm. =P I would like to get a j&s safe guard though! Would it be a problem to put them together? You sound a little skeptical. haha.

It's really hard to describe. The cable has a spring/plastic section. You squeeze and pull on a certain part of it and you will be able to adjust the length.

I see the spring and you wouldn't happen to be talking about the white clip? I was able to make the white clip go down. I still couldn't figure it out. haha. I possibly may need your person assistance. lol ~.^
 
Looks like I may be the first to try the FTC/j&s combo. I am installing my j&s soon and currently running the afc but will definitely be moving to the FTC as soon as possible

i just dont know if it's overkill and if it can pull enough timing. im having a hard time trying to fine tune it without the timing advance jumping around. ive seen it hit 40 degrees at wot and high boost.. yikes

Just got the mam manifold and pope dp back from the ceramic shop. The finish on the products came out amazing! I'll post up pics tommorrow when I get the chance! =)
 
Updates!!*

Yesterday morning I ran over to the ceramic shop to pick the dp and manifold. The finish is so damn hot looking i almost busted a nut! haha The manifold was given a silver polish ceramic coat and the DP was given a satin black finish ( 50% more cooler for the engine bay).

The plan today is to get the car running. I have tons of stuff to do! I have work in the morning which im getting ready as we speak because i wanted to give you guys a update. =D So right after work ima get cracking on the car and finally hear her ROAR! =D Im really excited. The whole setup is sitting in the engine bay as we speak, but it has not been bolted down. Im having fitment issues with the stock mid pipe. There the stock mid pipe stud that not working with me. It's seized inside, but with hope of the day light ill be able to bust it out. Last night i hit with some PB blaster to loosen it up and ill let you know how that goes.

Hopefully ill get to hear from most of you guys. =)
 
To many hot!

Well I can't wait until you get over here for me to see your beast. I'm looking forward to it!

Hot damn man! This should be nasty!

Yeah, I'm really curious on how it's going to sound. Little anxious!
