lol the trick is to glide the sharpie over the needle, not color it in like its paper!

yeah i was figuring as much...too much ink would cause it to run or bubble up.

almost done finally, few more things to do, replaced that snapped sensor, filled transmission with Redline mt90..intercooler is set up and intake, the motor idles great and sounds great but its not boosting well, boost is being made, but the bov isnt opening, quite possible i have vacuum lines wrong but idk were to go from there, bov isnt recirculated yet, nor is the boost controller connected...not sure


RS style bov(for now, not a fan of rs but its temporary and got was given to me)... gotta figure out how to recirculate it now




replaced the iacv, now it idles sooo much better


unfinished fuse box relocation lol


umm yeah dont know what this is?? help


ill get all matching couplers one day lol

that is the stock boost sensor.. IIRC

[deuce4Oh]

wouldn't run full synthetic on that age motor.Stick to the Dino oil

[cjmirabal1]

So today was a great day on the swap that ended horrible! lol

almost figured out my vacuum situation, turns out my RS BoV wasnt opening, so we opened it up and the f*** had 2 springs! which made it impossibley stiff! took one out...hook it up and reved then all of a sudden! PSSTTTHHH! and we got booost! lol awsome feeeling! so we are adjusting it a bit, it isnt recirculated yet but it isnt affecting idle at all like i thought it would, but im still gonna try to recirc it!.......wen BOOOOM! the f*** clutch fan flew off into the yard next door! like 30 FEET! tore of the pulley and adapter to water pump, wrecked my fan shroud and sank my heart into my arse!

needless to say tomorrows paycheck is gone already! but i already found the pulley on nico and its on its way, im gonna run electric fans now and i get a hook up cuz my mechanics wife works at pepboys!

and my boost gauge cracked wen the fan flew off (fell out of my hand wen i ducked) so im gonna order a prosport elec one!




filter came in!


painted window handle back to black...soon no more ricer red


installed jdm ignition ring!




took off the cracked spoiler! gonna fill the holes later






damage from the flying fan! wish i took a pik of the hole in the lawn it left! lol

cud of been so bad, and 4 of us were near and all dodged it... and i flew 8 inches above my mech's evo mr!

glad nobody got hurt...that thing was like a ninja star cutting everything up in its way.

the fan must have not been bolted on right. when i bolted my fan it took me nearly 40 mins just turning and turning little by little until none of the bolts could turn anymore. i thought i was done then somehow the other bolt kept turning, then the next.... lol. i recomend staying with the clutch fan rather than the electric fan. when i ran the electric fan, my car somehow felt slower idk.

it wasnt the bolts, the fan flew off witht he pulley still tightly attached!! lol it actually was probaly the water pump piece that came loose somehow, defect probaly..... gonna try to neatly and safely weld it on so no more sliding off! but if that throws off balance to much ima have to suck it up and spend another 70$ and hours of back tracking to replace it.... we will see

thats weird...clutch fan robs horsepower not electric fans.

its maybe because i have a honda optimal battery. other than that have no idea why.

yeah thats why im a lil vague on were to connect it to....

[splintercell]

id put the bov back on hot side...will make easier to plumb back into intake. i ran my sard r2d2 both ways and never noticed any difference.
