[JaLMP5]

That's completely possible. I use to live in Chesapeake and still have alot of friends that way, so i try and visit once in a while.

But for the mean time, I'll try and get more pictures up of the setup.

Thanks a lot and glad to see others that have served on here. Not sure if I've already said it but I'm an ET2 so we're not too different.

Alright so as I mentioned before, I finished the turbo install as well as the Sprint 500. When I first turned it on it was hesitating like crazy and the idle was sitting at about 200 but just assumed it was because of the tune. Come to find out after further investigation my VTCS was ****** up. I need the car running by Friday so I was able to pick up a ported mani from 2.0t03speed. He's next day shipping it for me tomorrow so Friday I can install it and complete the tune. Here's a pic of it, just in case no bodies seen one before (whistle).

Alright so it's been a little while since my last update. This is what my intake manifold looked like.

I was able to pick up a Perrin Fuel Rail as well.

And this is what the new manifold looks like now with the fuel rail and 750cc injectors installed.

Oh and I'm attempting to do a minor wire tuck before I reinstall the manifold.

 

[JaLMP5]

And I finally decided to install my short shifter and while I was at it i painted my cupholder/center console....and I guess it's worth mentioning I picked up PAR transmission with a Quaife differential. Can't wait to get that in my hands.

Epic build is epic!

Did you get Damien's trans?

 

[2.0t03speed]

yea he did and sick paint job on my old manifold!!

 

[2.0t03speed]

btw where did you get your injector extension clips?

 

[Lewis7789]

And those injectors are freaking huge for stock internals, no?

Thanks man, I like being epic TWICE! I decided to pick it up since I was looking to get a Quaiffe anyway and it was a great deal.

I was hoping to get it all done by that Friday but I changed my mind on alot of things so the rush shipping wasn't really necessary.

It came like that when I bought them. Injector Dynamics injectors FTW. Going to turn them around for the wire tuck.

The stock internals are temporary. Plan to have my motor built by the end of the year...hopefully! If not at most by this time next year, already have pauter rods and wiseco pistons.

looks good, i like the manifold with the Perrin rail tucking the wires cleans them up a lot as well.

I noticed that yours and mine look very similar....so I guess imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

 

[2.0t03speed]

you need to get one of these.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

^ 505 mani!

ya i noticed that.. except i removed the unneeded posts off my manifold before i was coated and changed the SS braided lines for black lines that look much better IMO

Can't wait to see your bay finished and the car running.

 

[JaLMP5]

I would love to have the 505 but the motor build takes priority. And I did notice your mani didn't have the posts but I didn't think about it at the time. After looking at yours I regret not doing it. And the SS lines came with the fuel rail so I'm using it.
