^^^ did you have a udp? What belts are you using?

 

[Salmon_Rob]

after reading about tons of az cars having heat/cornering related oil starvation issues i ordered an oil pressure gauge

 

[mx-p5]

I gots a oil pressure gauge. How you gonna wire it? Sammich plate?

 

[StealthWyvern]

a sammish plate would be the best bet imo

 

[mx-p5]

it's what I used


Alright, anyone know where I can get an EGR bung? The one on my Ractive header is fuber'd up. threads are stripped and nut won't go on,

so, anybody know where I can get a new threaded nipple?

any local exhuast should be able to set you up with that

 

[mx-p5]

Not the local shops i've gone into. They don't have parts to make headers or the attachments.

They've got 02 bungs, but noone has an egr nipple

Just re-thread the one you already have. You can get a tool that does that at any hardwear store for like $5.

WTF, I want guages!? How did you do it? Do you have a thread?

 

[mx-p5]

kinda.

I actually put in oil pressure and oil temp, as well as coolant temp(coolant is sitll not wired though)

search teh Pro5 section for guages, or was it in eletronics? crap. i don't remember

 

[BinoMP5]

speaking of ractive.... i installed my new ractive header today... went from 4-2-1 to 4-1... definately feel a difference... the power may not be mid-power but it starts to haul ass past 4500...

so i have a 4-2-1 header for sale for you mid-power guys out there.... prolly sell it for $45 shipping... there is some custom work you might have to do...
also decided to sell the skunk2 coil overs i never put on....

now... to install these pullies.... hmm.....


also... i had a helper yesterday, gavin, he's in 4th grade and it definately got the attention of the chicks in my apartment complex... girls luv the kids.... now i have him around a lot when i'm working on my car... he knows a lot about cars for his age and i answer his questions about life, college and hopefully girls soon...

thats what i did today

You see, unless you have a really nice suspension setup, you don't have s*** to worry about (read: oil starvation). But I guess Liquid is up there w/ the inverted monotube shiet.

 

[jeg0024]

Rob does have some crazy suspension though...

^^^ did you have a udp? What belts are you using?

Yeah I have UR UDP with Medieval alt/ps/wp pulleys. Just put new Gates micro v's on a month or 2 ago & they're just wearing in & needin a touch up. It just started a coupla weeks ago just right when you put it in gear with AC & turned into block or 2 without AC & that was it. Jackin up the car to crawl under was the procrastination point even with garage then a hurricane came thru & then it sucked enough to deal with it & now it doesn't make noise.
