So I'm still waiting on couple things for my trans cooler so I put the interior back together. Finally think I'm gonna upgrade from my factory deck LOL
Gotta nice double din navi unit in my evo and now I'm spoiled and want the same thing for my eclipse. Also lowered my seats as they were too tight to the cage with the foam in place,

Dropped the motor in over the weekend and I'm re-installing my AC. I'll be damned if I'm driving around again this summer with no AC, **** that ****. I don't care how much it weights its worth it IMO. I have to finish my wiring harness and a few other things, should be on the road in a couple weeks.

I can eat out of that engine bay nice job.

When you put back in the a/c make sure you have some nice fans and do all your ducting of the three cores together, fmic,condenser,and the radiator not to mention a hood vent ( just realized you have a vented hood)to have your car run cool and efficient. An under tray beneath the three cores from the bottom of the front bumper to the radiator will help mightily as well. I too have a high hp dsm and want my a/c as well.

So I've been playing with DSM's for years but I'm not great at keeping a build journal to show progress, things I've changed or upgraded. So this is where that's gonna change and I'll use this journal to show my progress with my car and any changes I make. So I'm gonna start with my turbo upgrade as that's one of the things I'm doing this year as well as a lot of other intersting things.

So this is my car.

So lets begin.......This year I'm switching turbos and going from a fp3586 to a fp3788 or 6466 in the pte nomenclature. My fp3586 got a little too hot from a sudden lean issue(WG line came loose) and this basicly started the melting process of my inconel exhaust wheel which put the turbo shaft grossly out of balance, this took place at the end of summer 2014. So not knowing the extent of the damage done in 2014, I ran the turbo again in 2015 with boost in the 40psi range and at that boost, shaft speeds will be in excess of 120,000rpm and at that rpm the shaft is pretty much like a piece of spagetti flopping around in the housing. Well that beat the gas seal fit out of my CHRA which caused a huge boost leak that was migrating out and into my engine and out my catch can. Sooooo that was ultimately the demise of my 3586 as there's an excepted leak threshold and I was 3 times the limit and with the fits bad unable to install new gas seals. Really sucked cause the turbo was mint besides that, I was planning on just replacing the exh whaeel, re-balance and good to go, LOL not the case. So Mike at Fp gave me the deal of a life time IMO on a new Fp3788 which is what they were selling their 6466 as.

So the compessor inducer is 64mm exducer is 88mm and turbine is 72.6mm inducer and 66.3mm exducer with a hp rating of 925 with flow potential in the 90+lbs/min range. I'm picking the turbo up this weekend and I'll upload so pics when I do. The hot side is their(fp).85ar T3 housing and thatrs hanging off a punishment racing turbo mani which I just wrapped with DEI heat wrap last night.

Finally got around to doing this to my engine harness and wow it's pretty labour intensive. The finished product will be a lot easier to manage and let me get rid of the mess the PO didand eliminate all the cracked and dry rotted wires.

So this is what I accomplished after half a days work. Now my plan is to install it in the car and lay out everything so i can get an accurate length then solder the pig tails back on.
Thankfully I've got a FSM volume 2 electrical, its been very helpfull. I don't recommend doing this for the first time without one.

MORE TO COME STAY TUNED!
What a beautiful car. Hard work and patience man love this car!!
 
Thx ceedawg. Yes I've got all ridgid ducting between my IC and ac condensor and my condensor is seal to my rad. I've been playing with high hp dsm a long time and have got a combo that seems to work for me. I had my ac couple years ago but went on this crazy weight reduction campaign and ac went bye bye. Well f*** that shit, you try driving around say Ohio in mid August with a black car an not have ac, well no thanks LOL.
I wrap everything in DEI titanium wrap water pipe all hot parts including my full down pipe. Also run a turbine blanket and that keeps temps in check.

Man I will be following your progress, I'm inspired. You know your stuff man,I'm in process of seal ducting my stuff now. If you have those shots (ducting)Id love to see but when you put the AC back
in please post I'm convinced these cars can run with AC and a lot of hp. Did you find the ducting effective in keeping the BEAST cool?


Yep I also wrapped my headers, down pipe, and put a turbo blanket on my turbo housing. I will do the water pipe next. Guess I'm heading the right direction . Hope to see that beauty in OHIO in August!!
 
Man that ducting is crucial really, and it doesn't need to be all that high end LOL. I'm using aluminum flashing, it's ridgid enough and real easy to work with. I use a gortex gasket material I got off a job years ago( I'm a construction millwright by trade) that we used to seal some access doors on a steam turbine, this works great between my condensor and the rad as it's very maluable and just the right thickness.
I will certainly take some pictures when I mount my IC and rad. Stay tuned and thx for the positive comments!!

I would love too. And that would be next for sure money permitting. I'm going FEAL without a doubt. They will meet all my needs and make the suspension work as oem intended.
 
Did I read correctly that you're going to tuck the large AC compressor line that runs right next to the timing belt? I'm extremely interested if so.

Car looks incredible man!

Can you explain what your current suspension setup is?

Also when you purchase the Feal coilovers what valving and rates are you looking into?

I have the parts to tuck mine. Not the hardest thing in the world but not the easiest either. Have to have a company around that can press the fittings and whatnot.

LOL sure nothing special but they've served me well, I've been on tokiico illumina with a pro kit for 8 years now ha ha. They started to piss me off when I put the car on a diet and it started to rise as weight was reduced, I can't stand a high wheel gap.

So a well made for the price coilover was in my future and feal fit the bill.

So I was successful at tucking and shortening my AC line and I accomplished this with a 12mm 316SS 90* union swageloc fitting. The ridgid aluminum line is exactly 12mm and worked perfect to achieve the position I needed for the line to transition into the condensor down low in the engine bay. We use these a lot in the oil and gas industry on anything from pneumatic lines @ 90psi to hydrogen compressors with final discharge pressures in the 3000psi range, so they've proven them selves over and over again. They're a little pricy but if you look around you can find them at a reasonable price. I found mine on eBay for 3 dollars LOL they list for 49.99 each eeek. We only use standard stuff at the refinery I work at , no metric available. So anyway on to the pictures and I'll be working on the car this weekend to try and finish it and start driving it next week, can't ****ing wait.

Also the line looks real close to my water pump pully but there's another clamp that's not there that brings it closer to the frame rail. I had everything on during mock up with nothing rubbing, it is close though LOL

Yes its original, I just cut it shorter and re-joined with the fitting. Normally that line goes straight up from the condensor and over the motor towards the compressor.
 
Wow what a sick ass 2g build. I currently am building a 90 gsx and dailying a 97 fwd tsi but I am partial to the 2g gsx's with those hoosiers! Man oh man if I could only sell 4 of my cars and my bike and my mini bike and all my other toys and just put it all into ONE CAR!! I would love to have one that was ALL done inside and out like yours. Beautiful ride man, that black interior!! WHOOOOOOOOOOH give it to me! :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

Do you mind posting a few more pictures of how the AC line is routed now? Awesome idea. Great work!
