Very clean, whats your plans for the car now?

rich3389 · 03-11-2008, 01:33 PM

Just want it to be a aggressive street car, next on the list, 272 cams, and dsmchip, to get a better tune then my SAFC with 660's

I think you have the same coolant overflow bottle as me.

Your car is really clean, I like the paint matched corner marker delete.

Clean your valve cover a little bit. Everything else is clean.

rich3389 · 03-11-2008, 01:58 PM

HA, I have a nice "new" valve cover that is black with polished letters sitting in the shed, I figure I would just put that on when i do cams, I am to cheap to spend 30 bucks on a v/c gasket twice!

tunethis · 03-11-2008, 02:00 PM

It's very nice looking. I like the color, black wheels and lowered stance. It's got that "clean" look to it. This makes me want a 2g even more.

daren_p · 03-11-2008, 02:05 PM

Is that a 1g intake mani on a 2g head? Has the head been ported or gasket matched?, otherwise that won't be good for flow. Also ditch those fwd brakes & I'd run a catch can instead of a filter of the valve cover, but that just me

Car looks sorta line mine

Shes beautiful bro, keep it up

ilikespeeding · 03-11-2008, 02:31 PM

You might wanna beef up your fuel system before dropping 660s in. (Pump, regulator, high flow filter, ss feed line from tank, ect). You can get a full kit from slowboy for pretty cheap.

rich3389 · 03-11-2008, 04:26 PM

Its already got a rewired walbro 190, the 660's are already in and have been for some time now, just fixed all the boost leaks, lets just say 1st and 2nd gear is a bit smokey.

BoostedinSoFla · 03-11-2008, 05:03 PM

Car is clean man and I like the black wheels. The only problem I was gonna say I had was just with the VC but you said you have another one so it's all good.

By the way did you make the intake shield yourself or did you purchase it from Turbo Garage?

rich3389 · 03-11-2008, 05:08 PM

Got it from turbo garage, the foam is from HDR though.

97 4G63 · 03-11-2008, 05:19 PM

Nice i love it we have the same color

now you just need some black leather seats just like me

king_of_HTX · 03-11-2008, 05:22 PM

Looks ok... :-/

iugrad92turbo · 03-11-2008, 05:33 PM

Clean your valve cover or slap on some new paint on it, look great.

DSMunknown · 03-11-2008, 05:35 PM

Rich, how do you like the Forge 1G RV? I've had some ongoing issues with mine myself.

Good job getting rid of that OEM wheel gap.

Also love the color and rims. As Daren said, get rid of that VC filter and run it back to the intake pipe with an inline filter/catch can. Also, give that OEM PCV valve system some help.

rich3389 · 03-11-2008, 05:39 PM

I like it, I had a boost leak where the BOV meets the flange, got the "revised" part, put it on as tight as i could, and it still leaks a little bit, but its nothing major.
I think I'm gonna take the revised ring off, slap some rtv on the o-ring and put it together again and see how that works.

DSMunknown · 03-11-2008, 05:43 PM

Do you have any issues with it holding open when load is applied?

rich3389 · 03-11-2008, 05:46 PM

Holding open? you mean holding shut? I have no problems. It holds 20 psi just fine with the yellow spring(added 1 shim just to be safe) and still opens at like .1 psi ha.

DSMunknown · 03-11-2008, 06:05 PM

No, holding open. Mine won't close when I'm trying to build boost about 85-90% of the time.
