Good looking car man. Love the color.. i might be biased though.

BoostKrazy · 08-22-2012, 11:38 AM

Its been awhile but here it goes,

Installed my 3" turrbo back, dsmlink, 750cc injectors, 255 walbrro afpr, and gauuges.. need to tune it and replace my OFH now lol

BoostKrazy · 10-11-2012, 10:34 AM

Ok, fixed my oil filter housing leak, installing my 16g at the moment (ebay) and my MAP 2.5" o2 housing at the same time.. once this is all in, we are gonna install sd bundle, my afpr and wideband and tune it, and ill be done upgrading for awhile.. gonna focus on weight reduction and cleaning the car up a little (cosmetics and stuff).. really wanna clean all the grease and oil out of my engine bay..

Also just bought a 1996 gst spyder shell.. paid $50 for it, gonna part it out to fund the rest of the gsx project lol. Came with all harnesses, ecu and some other goodies

SmalltownDSMer · 10-12-2012, 07:08 PM

Looks good man! I also had a leak at the OFH. Turns out it was from the T I put in for the after market oil pressure gauge. Left it disconnected for now until I figure out a better way.

Love the white!!

Thanks bro, i just installed the 16g and started her up, and it was leaking from the oil feed line on top..

SmalltownDSMer · 10-13-2012, 05:34 AM

On top of the turbo? Haha, I had that exact same problem when I installed my FP Red. Is it a banjo fitting? If it is, you need to get a copper crush washer and it will seal it right up!

Jayson

BoostKrazy · 10-13-2012, 12:51 PM

Lol i tried running the stock feed line but i guess ebay 16g's dont like it.. so im either gonna run an aftermarket ss line or a banjo fitting to the head.

SmalltownDSMer · 10-13-2012, 01:10 PM

I guess it's just not getting a good seal? I took a pic of mine this morning to post up here, but never got to it. Will do in a second.

Jayson

BoostKrazy · 10-13-2012, 01:39 PM

Yea man, idk what the problem is, thanks for the help and input tho bro, appreciate it

SmalltownDSMer · 10-13-2012, 02:38 PM

This is where mine was leaking until I put in those two copper crush washers you can see in the pic.

Jayson

BoostKrazy · 10-13-2012, 11:11 PM

Thanks for the pic man!! What set up on the oil feed line are you running exactly? Im using the stock feed line, it screwed right into the new turbo but leaked right on start up.. the line moves up and down inside the fitting even when tightened all the way..

SmalltownDSMer · 10-14-2012, 05:47 AM

Oh damn that's not good haha. FP recommended it to go with the red, it's a 1g ss feed line. I have a spare that I took off when I swapped the green for the red. Not sure if it will work but its yours if you want it, just send me your shipping info

Jayson

BoostKrazy · 10-14-2012, 10:31 AM

Oh sweet man!!! Thanks alot i really really appreciate it.. i hope it works, if i figure it out before your ss line gets here, ill ship it back to you.

Where did you hook up that female end to? Where should i hook mine up?

Also, do you have a build journal so i can subscribe and learn off your build =P

Ill pm you my info man, thanks again!!

SmalltownDSMer · 10-14-2012, 11:01 AM

No troubles. I had the female end tapped into my OFH. I have read people feed their turbos from the head but I prefer the OFH.
One thing is, I can't seem to find the other piece of the banjo fitting that screws into the turbo. Im going to look some more and Ill let you know if I find it

I have kind of a build going haha, nothing major yet... Few upgrades and minor build 97 Gsx
