So close to getting it started too.

Also, trying to figure out an alternate way to do the brake and clutch booster hoses, the brake booster check valve is no good. I can blow air through it in both directions, although it is significantly less in one direction so it seems to just not be sealing right. Though about just putting the check valve from the clutch booster at the very beginning of the line where it comes off the plenum before it splits to the 2 separate hoses, not sure that it's a good idea though, have to imagine Mitsubishi would've done that if it would work. So..Stuck for now, going to spend tomorrow getting the side skirts on the car and the suspension back up under it while I try to figure out what the deal is with the no start and a plan for the check valve.

Any news today? Did you figure it out yet?

For the first time in over a month... drove it to work tonight :)

Only broke traction like 15 times, lol

Installed 13T turbos, last 3 of the 3sx poly mounts and solid shifter bushes. 3sx mounts suck. So do old rusted exhaust bolts.

Why do the mounts suck? Just crappy to install?

Car just became slightly more humpable.

Well, first start after the rebuild today. Took 7 or 8 attempts to start it at about 10 seconds of cranking per attempt (spaced out of course so as not to burn up the starter). When it finally started, it smelled rich as hell and I have a couple oil leaks from what appears to be the return line on my front 13T and one from the oil pan. Need to figure out why it's so rich before I run it again, it's so rich it doesn't want to stay running.

did some pressure checking after the cx racing tb install, nipple plug had come off my turbo and forgot to install o-ring on IAC, can u say boost leak lol.

Did something I've mever done to any car. Changed the AC/acessory serpentine belt today. Was actually really, really easy. Need to top off the freon tomorrow and a "the compressor is bad!" car has working AC! Can I get a w00t? W00T!


Serge: do you have bigger injectors installedand have forgotten to scale the fECU for them? That'd make ya run rich as hell I'd believe.

Came out the other day to a note on my car and saw this
