SEN_ONE

Haha, She brought us a beer that no one ordered. I told her I would take it, and someone said she was trying to get me drunk. I told her I was easy, and that she didn't have to get me drunk. Damn, I wish I could go this year.

I'm trying my best to make it, i've had some troubles and i'm trailering my car to North Carolina to Wilmnchris' shop BnT Performance where i'm having him do some more stuff to the car as well as finish it up with dyno and tuning. Plus i've had to buy some other things (Koyo Radiator, Slim Line Fans, Fuel Pump, etc, etc).

dont ever expect things to go smoothly with a turbo install. they never do and you always run into unxpected things. i know this first hand. i was actually thinking to myself that you be cutting it close this year.
good luck with everything.

Well everything would have been great if a bolt wouldn't have seized up on me, so it prevented me from removing the turbo manifold from my block, so Chris is gonna drill out all the bolts and retap and put in stronger bolts since the turbo and manifold is so heavy. I'm also going to have him install the Koyo Radiator, Fans, Fuel Pump, and i'm gonna do a Return Fuel System too. So he is gonna take care of the rest of it, and also do some custom stuff that i can't tell just yet He is also gonna dyno and tune the car for me.

wow....well then

does 10mm bolts are weak and will brake on you all the time specialy when the turbo spools. (Kinetic energy)
I had that same problem so i was running with an exhaust leak for ahwile.
I replace 3 bolts till i finaly decided to take the head off and place some bigger ARP studs like 14mm, that took care of it permanetly.
I also build a bracket to hold the turbo assembly to the bottom of the block and keep the whole thing in place when reving hard.
Good luck, I hope you make it.

I'm staying at the Drury is cheaper, closer and includes breakefast + drinks

Yea i'm replacing all the bolts and Chris making a bracket for me like you said. Should hold it all together nicely. Just wanna do this right the first time.

CAR IS RUNNING AGAIN. THANK GOD!

...anyway i live in Macon. when and where r u meeting?
someone PM me with friday the night plans. too lazy to read the whole thread. i need to know when and where we are meeting in Atlanta.

2k2civicsedan

iTrader: (4)

If the tour is going to be in Tifton at 2:30 then it should be in Macon by 3? Right? So I will be in Macon a little before 3. Where do you want to meet? I know where some stuff is in Macon but not a lot. Last time I meet someone in Macon going to Atlanta we meet at the Bass Pro Shop exit. I think its 172. Its Bass RD. The tour is going to be at the track at 5. PM me your phone number. That way when we meet it will be easier.
