How is everyone?

Good.
Put in my 740cc Nismos, Z32 MAF, and tune. And I didn't blow anything up!

How much boost?

8 still.
For now.

Damnit dude! What are you waiting for, injector break-in

Tried to get mine fired up the other day. Cranked but didn't fire -figures... Found a big leak in the used koyo I bought a year ago. Seriously fed up with this thing. Seriously considering parting it and using the money to buy a bike, feel like I'd have more fun. I just don't have a passion for this anymore.

Sometimes its really demoralizing.

I have felt the same way a few times while building my car but i am hanging in there and still throwing the cash into it.I don't even want to know how much i got tied up in this thing.

If getting it going for the time being would make things better, pick you up a big container of black pepper for the radiator.....

No money for an adjustable wastegate!

Boost controller dude! Adjustable wastegates suckass.I love the TurboXS Dual Stage.

But in the mean time, have you thought about doing something like this...

The boost switch activates the solenoid valve. The boost switch is adjustable. It's basically a DIY electronic boost controller.

You may want to add a relay in between the switch and the valve.

hay.

hi!

I hate your new name...

I'm a little late to join the thread, i'm assuming random ka-t chat??

Ultra random, welcome!

Sweet.

So I just ordered a ton of parts to get my s13 back to daily status. I drove it before but it was still considered "very far" from finished. Even now it won't quite be done, but it'll be that much closer.

I've located a stock open diff to replace mine that has a broken ring gear tooth and broken pinion tooth (just driving home from work, never drifted on, and only launched once ever(no wheel hop either) lol.)

Doing the q45 front brake swap, ordered reman'd calipers, ceramic pads, new rotors, along with some agency power brake lines(all 4), and the CS brake master stopper. Hopefully everything works as easy as I've read. I have a drill press because i'm staying 4 lug, possibly forever if I keep finding wheels that I like.

Ordered rubber jgs motor mounts, the poly ones were just too much for a daily..

Cibie headlights with narva 100/90w bulbs

Aem wideband/boost/failsafe that i'm going to use for an ignition cut

Fuelab mini fuel pressure regulator to replace my ebay special. Its a mookeeh1 brand, kind of unique on ebay and never gave me any issues, I just want something reliable that won't fry my engine. **thoughts??** I am going to monitor afr's before I change the FPR and then adjust the FPR to match the new numbers, any issues there?

New front suspension from FCP imports

Subframe collars

Ordered other little knick knacksfrom ER, a new radio from crutchfield...

Probably in april or sooner if it starts getting real hot, i'll finally get the a/c fixed. This thing has never had working a/c!

Dang dude, you just jumped right in aye!

That's almost too on-topic!

As far as fuel pressure regs go, I've used several over the years. When I want something reliable I always go back to Summit. Check out http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-220057/overview/



I was using a Bosch unit on my last build, but I'll be using that ^^^ one on the next build.

Lol.

I read an article comparing aeromotive/fuelab/aem(i think) fpr's and the fuelab fpr looked the most refined. The others had burrs inside, and overall looked like they had poor quality control.
As far as fittings, I just went with -06 to barbed 3/8". I'll go full AN if I ever go topfeed injectors.

You and Jess still split? If so, got any nudes you wanna pass out?

Kinda funny cause my soon to be ex-wife's name is Jess, and the nudes and the videos were the only thing she took the first night she left....

She was smart enough to know that after taking care of her for 11 years I was going to get some kind of revenge

WDRacing wrote:You and Jess still split? If so, got any nudes you wanna pass out?

haha nah. we're still happily together (although we did have a minor 6 month split about a couple years ago). otherwise, same s*** different day. I'm actually planning on getting engaged sometime soon. probably when this semester is over

whats up with you Brian? whats new?

Nothing new to report on my end. We're in Dover until Oct, at which point Kate will retire and we'll be moving to PA most likely. It depends on where she lands a job though. Buying a nice big chunk of land and living happily ever after or some s***.
