now boosted!!

[joka1]

well finally i am boosted but i can't boost more than a psi or 2 since my engine mangement isn't installed and working! besides that it is really hard to stay at 2 psi since all i want to do is press the gas more and more. (upyours) i cant wait to see how it feels when i can really boost! i will post pics when i get home from work tonight!

mpi kit off micah's car. i will be boosting 8 by this weekend once i figure out what is wrong with my mpi tuner. 1-2 is enough to know it works for now, i dont feel like blowing my engine!

Did you check over all the wiring? B/c a losse connection..or wrong wiring..will not permit the unit to work properly..talk to nick..i am sure he will be more than able to help you out!

Congrats on finally getting it install..do not go heavy on the gas..especailly with you not having the mpi unit setup properly!

i checksed the wiring like 4 times, everything was hooked up and soldered exactly like the directions said. but my car would not start and my laptop would not connect to the piggyback. so i dunno.. i will talk to nick probally tomorrow for his help!

wow that is some bright blue! lol

 

[mp5jeff]

you should take the loom off and paint the piping black.

 

[dominoy2k1]

agreed glossy black would look the best. also those IC pipes seem to be hanging a little low. could be the angle of the pic though..

 

[atxpro5]

nice to see more boosted proteges. i hope to join you this summer.

 

[joka1]

they are low...... i will have to reweld the bends closer because they sit like 3 in off the road..... or just raise my car up some since it is all the way down on my coilovers!!

looking good!!! boosted is better!

Quick question....are the IC piping a concern? they look rather "low" from the pictures (it may not be the case "in person). will they hit the ground going over speed bumps or while doing some "spirited driving" around town?

 

[joka1]

plus abt the paint, that was just temp, it will change soon i just wanted to get it on there!! i dont know if the pipes are gonna stay a diffrent shade of blue or get turned to black yet!!!! now all i want is to get it tuned and running right...... damit i have to call mpnick tomorrow!!

 

[dominoy2k1]

yea get em fixed soon

 

[falkofire]

so what do u have controlling the extra fuel needed in regards to bost right now?

 

[promp3]

could you post some pics of how you ran the ic piping? did you have to cut any thing?

 

[acidbug]

2 things joka..

1. your intercooler piping is way to ******* low! You need to get that fixed before..you run over something!
2. the wiring for your o2 sensor is right over your turbo..that's bad...you need to cut them..and rewire it! Otherwise it will just melt the wires due to the extrememe temps of the turbo..
