Not to mention you're buying an Si. Traitor to the d-series man......you'll be lucky if we talk to you anymore after it finally arrives.
No head studs or PS pump today and my exhaust still leaks, but not as bad as before. I just need to adjust the angle a little this weekend. No big deal. Plus I get to play with the welder some more!
I'll be ordering some 3" mandrel bends, flanges, and straight pipe next week to make a new downpipe and dump the kitty cat. I'm comfortable enough with my welding skills to take on that project so it should be fun!

Re: The Speedfoos' Turbo Install and Everything Else Thread!!
Woohoo!!! I got a whopping 22mpg on this last tank!! LOL, boost is fun. I should get a little better once I'm completely tuned up and the HG doesn't leak anymore. Too funny!
Stuff that in your global warming!! My carbon footprint is the size of Montana!

Re: The Speedfoos' Turbo Install and Everything Else Thread!!
Quick synopsis.
PS pulley nut fell off and spangled the spindle. My new (to me) electric PS pump arrived today, but no wiring harness. Was supposed to just have pozzy and neggy, but has some other connections as well. Gonna take some figuring.
Exhaust is welded, but angle is still a little off. More cuttin' and welding this weekend. I can MIG weld now.
HG is officially leaking, but ARP head bolts should be here tomorrow. Extra gaskets are already here. No overheating issues, just a slight, occasional stutter at cold idle, and extra coolant in the overflow rezzy.
Car is D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S to drive without PS but still fun as fuck! HG doesn't leak much so I'm still driving the piss out of it!

Re: The Speedfoos' Turbo Install and Everything Else Thread!!
drive it till it blows!!! haha, dont do that, but what the hell r u gonna do with that ps pump, i havent been able to figure out what ur gonna do with it, i hope it works tho, why do u say the car is dangerous to drive without ps??? i had an old tercel that didnt have ps at all, and it was fine, just a little hard to paralell... 22mpg??? is that all, or are u actually expecting more like 27 when u get everything sealed up, i love my gas mileage but hate the lack of power, in the end is it all worth it??

Re: The Speedfoos' Turbo Install and Everything Else Thread!!
I have the exact same problem with my head gasket It feels good not be alone. Only thing I can think of is they blew her on the dyno. It's been like this since I got it back from the tuner.
- No overheating, no leaking
- Pushing coolant into reservoir
- Has a slight sputter to idle aswell, only on cold start ups.
- Has that hot coolant smell to her..
- Still drive the piss out of it

Re: The Speedfoos' Turbo Install and Everything Else Thread!!
With our PS, all it does is move fluid back and forth through the rack to help you steer. You just need something to move it for you. Whether that's a belt driven pump or an electrical pump, it really doesn't matter. So I've got my electric pump to replace my spangled belt-driven one. It will also free up that extra 50hp at the wheels which is lost due to the parasitic drag of the stock belt-driven pump. Well maybe not 50hp, but probably a couple anyway.
Why is it dangerous? Torque steer. Plus your Tercel was probably rocking stock 14" steelies on narrow tires. 17" 225s grunted down on Tein coilovers are a little harder to move around. That and taking corners the way I like is a work it in itself. Popeye ain't got nuthin' on me!
I'm sure I'll get much better gas mileage once everything is ironed out. Is it worth it? Oh hell yeah!!!
Click here to listen to it boosting at 4 psi 1st thru 3rd. I recorded this on the way home today. The mic on my MP3 player isn't that good so it sounds a lot crappier here than in person but I still love the sound of the car, the BOV, and especially THE TURBO!!!
PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHT!!!
