Yes. It’s also brand new. If replacing ELD doesn’t work, it’s gotta be some wiring problem. My last two options are the 4-pin plug on the alternator, since I rerouted it, and the power wire from the alternator needs to be a bigger gauge. I don’t know. I’ve had that plug rerouted long time ago and it never gave me problems. I’ve also tried two alternators, so I still don’t know...
I finally got the wheels I wanted!! They’re in pretty good condition with some minor curb rash.
Also, I put back the power steering. I’m so tired of trying to park or turning it like a tank. The only thing is that it’s really light with power steering. It’s makes parallel parking easier though.
It doesn’t looks bulky, but I’m gonna change the lines with braided lines and AN fittings.
So I bought this shifter arm because it was on sale. I figured I’ll give it a try. It feels solid and nicely made
Fits perfect and shifting feels more firm, tight or maybe that’s just in my head. I do feel the difference though on the shifter. It’s not as wobbly as before. Maybe because of the return spring is more rigid.
Thank you Josh, xRiCeBoYx, for an early Christmas!!
I definitely don’t need all of this. For anyone who want and needs some of these I can send it. Just cover shipping. You can see the list in his for sale thread.
Changed the power steering to 6an PTFE lines for a cleaner look. Works well since they have tons of psi burst pressure. Fittings doesn’t leak which I’m happy about.
Keep an eye on temps when you're running it. Hopefully its enough to keep it happy, but that snail might be generating more heat than the one fan can handle if you're pushing it
was gonna recommend a good, cheap fan, but turns out the company doesn't sell them anymore. I tried. lol
I got some dyno time today. Evans Tuning did a great job. Fixed all the issues like boost build coming form cruising, etc, etc. I also upgraded to 1000cc injectors. Injector Nation IN1000 to be exact. I figured to try them out.
I’m happy with the result since it’s a baby T25 turbo. I already have the manifold and down pipe to change the setup to T3 and get some better results.
Everything went well nothing exploded, nothing leaked, no one got hurt. So I’m happy with my build, built with my own hands from top to bottom. More to come. Looking for the 300hp mark.
As for that dyno sheet, honestly, I’m trying to understand it more. I realized it look good when he was doing the runs, but I just need a better understanding.
Got a nice increase in torque and power, little bump at about 3100RPM and I'm guessing that's when manifold pressure starts going from vacuum to boost. Wheel tq peaks at 250 ft-lbs a good amount before redline, so you can still take advantage of the power that hits 260 shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, torque starts to drop off, so I'm calling your peak "usable" power at 260, despite the highest peak of about 265whp
You should feel it pull the hardest between 5000-5400
edit: I'd be interested in seeing afr graphs of the tuning results, both partial throttle and WOT
Just some small changes I’m trying.
I changed the exhaust housing to a .86 A/R.
I bought a D16Y8 Stage 2 Turbo Cam.
I already have a spare Y8 head I can get the spare parts I need to do the swap.
After this then another dyno tuning. Hopefully everything goes well.
Also, I bought an OEM HPF Side Skirts already painted. The seller has a few left on some colors. Definitely worth checking out since these are hard to come by.
I got a front lip today. It’s in good condition and it comes with hardware.just need to repaint.
I’m not sure if the fog lights fits with the oem lip. I tried looking up for pictures but I don’t see one
Found a Dezod manifold to pair with my Dezod downpipe. This is before the new radiator. Added a new radiator and made a new front crash bar for some space. Air suspension
Still oh so clean. Nothing ever came from the K20 parts collection?
edit: also, is that crash bar custom? I kinda worry about the outward appearance of those welds, but if there's good penetration and it's structurally sound, then that's cool as hell
