The car vibrates when it's first turned on. Then when the rpms drop from the car being on for a min it's not as bad. Haven't driven the car on the street yet. I'll be picking up the car today because Henry has to have the building cleared by tomorrow. I'm going to try to get used to the vibration. If not I'll see if Hasport can make softer inserts.

Man it must be nice living in So Cal. Parts are cheaper and more shops to pick from. We always get ripped up here in No Cal...but I hear the cops are punks down there especailly on imports. The only reputable shop is now closing it's doors near here. Now I have to go to the Bay Area or up north to Drews shop in Redding.




On my way to pick up the car now. It's only running the stock Greddy E-Manage maps and still needs some things worked out. Atleast it's drivable. Henry said he will finish up some details when he is settled from the move. He said to give him a month. All man another month.

Thanks PunkingCivic for the Rep+ for the all the updates. Thanks everyone for all the postive feedback. I really appreciate them.






Pick up the car yesterday. As far as the acceleration all I can say was oh my...much more than I expected. It's real easy to brake loose on the traction but manageable. I still want to get some stickier rubber. Car is still running a little rough and rich. It still needs to be tuned and to have the fuel pump up graded. The power feels great except when passing 6k I hear slight pinging. Maybe because the stock fuel pump can't dish out enough fuel at higher rpm. I just going to baby the car until it's tuned and fuel pump is replaced.

The car vibrates...but it's something I can get used to. It's really not that bad IMO.

The car has some other bugs in it. The AC Clutch is not turning on when I turn on the AC. I don't think it's wired correctly. I just had the car charged yesterday with freon. Also the speedometer is not working.

Looks like it's time for me to buy some manuals and do some searching this weekend. If anybody has any ideas what the problems may be feel free to post them up. I'm all hears. Rep + to anybody that comes up with the any of the solutions.

^^^same here, mine idle at 1500-1700. 2k @ idle is too high. Hook up a laptop to kpro and see what the ecu said. Maybe the tech is a little off.

White0nGold's : Mine greddy kit w/ intercooler is 4sale. $2200 shipped to ur house. Sry off topice

Car look nice. First K20z1 swap + turbo!!! When you at it check out why my temp gauge is not working plz (J/K). It has to do something w. Kpro, that the gauge is not working. DON"T quote me on it. That is what the shop said when they done w/ my swap.
I just buy a autometer meter water temp instead.
