aww crap, that reminds me, I need a oil pressure sensor to attach.

Post by **idahotuner** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:54 am

you didnt get a sensor with your gauge.?

Post by **idahotuner** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 12:38 pm

well yesterday i got my new fuel fliter. and my dad worked on my hood and got it i nthe final coat of primer. so it is ready for paint. now it is time to work on the hatch.

we got soem gray primer over spray in my nice black engine bay. so i have to do some touch ups which sucks.

tomorrow i am ordering my clutch and fly wheel. and turbo, and acessories. going to try to have my eninge back in my car by the end of jan.and then painted mid feb soem time. also in feb i will get my new windshield and my injectors. and maybe my tune.

so after this purchase all iwill need is my new radiator and my intercooler kit. injectors. and tune and i can start my baby up.

this is the game plan for now.

Well I had the gauge itself sitting in my room for about a year and a half already, so I have NO IDEA where it might be. Meanwhile I'm gonna try to hook up everything else electrical wise, and the boost gauge.

my dad doesnt want to put the motor in after the car is painted. that is how he does it.the fenders are off the car s othat is how over spray got underneath.alos throgu the front since the bumper is off.

well i jsut ordered all my new stuff. sweet huh

Niice, quick question how do you determine a 12V ligthing circuit?

ok that makes sense. i thought about it afterwards and it makes sense not to put an engine in a car w/ new paint, dont wanna bump into anything. on the other hand, painting normally makes things kinda dusty and u dont wanna dirty up a clean motor

yep, he says he wants to paint the car very last ting. but i dont want to i wantot get my motor in and then paint it. i want to put my suspension stuff on after it is painted but he says i should do it while the fenders are off.

well today i make a very large purchase.2105.00 later i have the following parts coming.gt2871r .64ar turboact 6 puck clutch kitact sreetlight flywheelcircuit sport turbo linescircuit sport adapters turbo inlet and outlettaka oil restrictorcircuit sport short shifter

i think that is basically it.the turbo from garrett should be at pahse2 tomorrow. so hope fully they can ship all my parts tomorrow, but if not they wont be able to ship until the 3rd.

hopefully my motor will be able to be started the end of march

I found a website that showed you how with pics, because I'm a HUGE noob with wires. So I wired up my boost gauge and presto! it worked and turned on ftmfw! I was going to do a write up on it but I couldn't find my camera.

Post by **White Comet** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:19 pm

glad to see a went w/ the .64, think next i'll be getting grids and then suspension parts, the turbo can wait as long as i can handle and stop.

good job, was it that bad after u got into it?

Post by **duffman1278** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:27 pm

naw, it was pretty easy, well at least that one was, my air/fuel ratio gauge however has 4 wires and the symbols on the paper throw me off lol

Post by **White Comet** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:30 pm

the a/f is also really easy, u just cant be intimidated

Post by **idahotuner** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:39 pm

yea i cant wait to get my stuff and have my motor put back in my car. my motor is going to be built completley after thus stuff is added on.

Post by **idahotuner** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 8:07 am

hey duffman is it a wideband sensor or is it a narrow band.?

well wireing my gauges in will be pretty easy. but for the ones o nthe piller. i dont want to put them on completely until i know for sure they will work. and are hooked up right

Post by **idahotuner** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 1:13 pm

these are the wheels i am thinking about getting. they are Elite 17x9. +15 offset. bronze colored rims look sweet with black paint. but this will be the last thing i do since i have nice wheel allready.

narrow band, I think just like yours.

Heres' the boost gauge installed so far.

Post by **idahotuner** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 1:37 pm

i dont have an o2 sensor.

so what do you think of those wheels

Post by **duffman1278** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 2:22 pm

NIICE, sweet offset too, now we just gotta wait for pics of them on the car...sigh.

Well I'm off to hook up my Air/Fuel ratio gauge, maybe make a write-up

Post by **idahotuner** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 2:36 pm

yea i will get my engine finished. -> car painted -> suspension-> seats -> wheels -> lsd-> then a cage most likely

Post by **White Comet** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 8:16 pm

i was seriously considering those wheels, until i found grids. the bronze is too light imo and the grids are a little darker plus i like the design of the grids better

hey, u stole my mounting location. at least be a winner and paint it black thoguh

Post by **idahotuner** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 9:55 pm

haha. i thin kthat is a common pplace to mount them wc.i am puttign my down where the radio goes.

yea i might go with the black rims , becasue i am doing my car blacked out. so the black will look nice.

Post by **White Comet** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:01 pm

yeah i was just messing around. the real reason its a copy off mine is cuz there are 3 gauge spots and only 1 gauge in it, thats how i roll

Post by **idahotuner** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:43 pm

those elite rims are baller lol. i am stoked now.

Post by **idahotuner** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 11:38 pm

i cant wait for my parts t oget here i am so excited.

Post by **duffman1278** » Sat Dec 29, 2007 12:29 am

I'll make one later, need to finish up my write on the gauges first.
