Re: Day 8 of Install (pg 10)- Speedfoos' Turbo Install
air changes directions easier than liquids so any oil particles will hit the baffle and drop to the bottom of the catch can while the air goes to the turbo inlet.
I just threw in some coarse steel wool pads in my GReddy catch can to act as a baffle

Yep.
Was gonna do steel wool as well, but since its now a (re)sealed catch can, I wouldn't be able to change out the steel wool when it rusts without cracking open the can again.

Dude, I have no idea when I'll be done!
Looking at my list, I have the following still to do:
- Install the PCS-XFC
- Install boost gauge, water temp gauge (need to test and see if it will run off stock signal wire and sensor)
- route the rest of my vac lines
- install the MBC
- finish up the IC pipes (waiting on couplers)
- install all the gaskets on the turbo assembly
- install wideband
- get exhaust from welder (he still hasn't started it)
Really its a good day's work. I would have done more today, but I got sidetracked by that catch can. Although I got a fair amount done today. I'm gonna go throw some food down my gullet and then I'll post my daily update.

It shouldn't, but if it does, its got a drain plug at the bottom to drain it, plus the little window thing on the side to tell me if its getting full. Basically I'll check it and drain it (if need be) once a week.

Oh no. The Rubicon will be in addition to my current vehicle fleet. It can pull my Civic when it turns into a trailer queen. Which will be never.
I used to have a '78 CJ5 (w/the 4-banger Mitsu engine) and driving this '03 Rubi really makes me want a Jeep again. Since I get a new (to me) car when I get promoted in 2009, I'm still shopping around. I had my heart set on an S2K, but the Jeep is (a little) more practical than a 2-seater roadster and just as much fun to drive. Its just a different kind of fun.

Yeah. I know. It'll get there. This week at some point as there isn't a whole lot left for me to do. I'm back to waiting on my welder and the USPS. I'll do some minor stuff tonight because I'm rebuilding a scooter for my daughter and need to finish that up. Its almost done and I've been neglecting doing some simple stuff on it in favor of working on the turbo.
But I get to drive the Rubi around till the Honda is done! Well, hell. I get to drive it till January when my buddy gets back from Afghanistan!

I don't think he's started Travis, I'm going to swing by and see him tomorrow to see what's up.
I'll post some pics of the scooter later. Its one of those electric ones (the big one not the little one) that we salvaged. I stripped it down and repainted it and have replaced all the guts with new parts.
My couplers arrived today so I can lock the IC piping into place, bolt up the turbo assembly and re-assemble everything. We'll see if I get to it tonight or not. Scooter is first, then car.
