Good bit of stuff done today

Intake assembly test fitting

Plenum and throttle body on. Can see my resistors. Working on a good way to mount them.

I reloomed my harness from the firewall to the engine. Didn't come out as good as before.

It's been raining more than not last few days with no end in sight. Every time there is a little break in the weather I get back out and have at it some more.

Mostly done. Ton of little things left.

One last pic before firing her up.

LOL Nice, as I post the same time you throw up a vid!

[n2nsanity]

And I haz boost



But no downpipe, lol

[n2nsanity]

LOL Nice, as I post the same time you throw up a vid!

LMAO, yeah I got a little anxious.

You haven't started yours up yet?

Know how bad your downpipe fit? Yeah, think mines a bit worse. Couldn't resist tho

[Blackmount]

nice dude. enjoy it

[n2nsanity]

Thanks man, I'm sure I will if I ever finish. Not that I know the meaning of that, lol.

Sort of mounted the downpipe today. It touches the subframe and there's a 3" gap between the front and rear section. I ground off a little of the downpipe flange as well as some of the subframe and it took a little force to get it on there. I'm thinking for now, I may just stack some flanges (for spacers) and use some really long bolts. I already have one under the front o2 housing and rear precat delete and the downpipe still touches the oilpan. I only had 2 to work with, but think I need about 8 more. Shit's ridiculous. Needs a 3/4" drop for the front and rear and then the huge 3" gap in the middle section closed.

Need to extend o2 sensor. Doesn't reach either bung on the m2 downpipe. Going from a fed spec n/a with only a single o2 right before the cat. Think I'm supposed to have 2 or 4 now. Haven't figured out how I'm going to handle this yet, but I'm told I can just turn off the unused o2's with chrome. I may try to add a 2nd o2 with the unused connector and pins for jesters ecu or combine signals for front and rear o2. Hopefully one of these options are possible.

Also, my downpipe is 3" and cat is 2.5". So only 1 hole lines up. Good enough for testing purposes. I think can get away with extending the holes on the downpipe flange or I could throw on my testpipe for now. But I also have inspection due this month.

Hooked up the vacuum distribution block and all the vacuum lines that I think I actually need. But think I did wrong, lol. Where should I feed this thing from?

Tidied up a few things under the hood.

Added some gear oil, put the wheels back on.

Moved her out of the driveway by her own power. Was tempted to cruise around the neighborhood, but I've already found a leak at the rear feed and one of the oil cooler lines. Clutch feels nice. Not the least bit chattery... don't think I'll be missing the 6 puck one bit

Cleaned up the mess I made in the driveway.

On top of the exhaust and o2 issues, still need to fix the leaky oil lines, finish bleeding brakes and add some power steering fluid.
Deleted my ps cooler loop and almost relocated the reservoir to the firewall. I've changed more than enough things already, so think I'll wait on that.

And start logging at some point

Some other misc stuff...

This bolt kit was very helpful for things like the smic's and all kind of misc brackets. It's too easy to lose bolts. Was well worth the $6.

Old ECU vs Jesters

Looking to create a bracket to mount this thing to one of these locations. May also just drill some self tapping screws into the floor.

Tinkering with vacuum manifold

My take on the resistor block. Plan is to mount them under those 3 connectors.

Oh and that blue coupler has got to go, lol
