Doing fuel pump today. Walbro 255. Went to pull old one and noticed it too is a walbro 🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♂️ oh well newer is better right?

My bad

Quick question because I couldn't find any info. I did the egr delete and canister delete but what do I do with this extra hose with inline filter/check valve? (Not sure of which it is)

lmao gotcha bro. I've been here for some years but i consider myself a noob still LOLLOL:hellyeah:

Should work just fine for you as long as you have a way to tune. I've heard nothing but good things about fuel injector clinic.

Evo 560cc's out, FIC 1200cc's in with resistor pack! Spring break coming fast!

Can't stop won't stop 🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♂️ turbo is in! NO EXCUSES

Also got turbo ready to drop in. Justin whitesell built 20g with some upgrades, fp mani, open dump O2

New water pipe o-rings installed along with thermostat housing gasket. Cleaned water pipe best I could without removing from car

Got "shop" cleared out and pushed car in! No more excuses time to thrash! Hoping to have her back together for spring break

Finally got some decent weather so figured id get started putting everything back together. Tight fit but it's in. Quick question. Thermostat housing... gasket or rtv? Either or doesn't matter? I've seen both used but nothing really preferred over the other.

Haven't been able to do much work TO the car due to crappy weather the past few weeks. So while the weather is prolonging things, I've decided I'm gonna clear out my garage and make room to roll her in there so i wont have any more excuses LOL. Cant wait to get her all put back together and on...

Turbo finally arrived! It's a Justin whitesell built 20g with some upgrades. Time to start thrashing to get it all put back together.

More parts incoming! Walbro 255 and speed density bundle arrived today and my injectors came Thursday. Still waiting on turbo.

Haven't done much to the car itself. Just been ordering parts from my wish list. fuel lab afpr, FIC 1200 hi-z injectors, and Justin Whitesell built 20g with billet compressor. When all that gets here I'll start thrashing on her some more. Still have other parts on the table waiting to install also.

goals AF! looks awesome.

Went and got my first engine stand today lol shit finna get REAL lol. Gonna pull motor and trans and start fresh(ish) since I really don't know the history of this motor. Bottom end seems fine though so hopefully just a re-seal will be okay for that. But definitely needs head work and the input...

well hell you've made up my mind lol

By the time it's all said and done I'd like to see 350-400 to the wheels. I know a 16g can get close, or just above the 300 mark, but I'm sure I'd need bigger. What would yall suggest turbo-wise? FP green is what i was looking at if i were to upgrade

Atp I'll probably just end up replacing the 16g with one from JusMX141 or maybe a Lil bigger depending on funds lol

Ordered a few small things while trying to decide what turbo to go with. Got my fp manifold to turbo bolts, water pipe o-rings, and a thermostat housing gasket to replace since I had to remove to access water pipe o-rings. fp mani showed up today so my wish list is getting smaller!!!

Will definitely try this

I had this problem also. The blade connector (not sure if that's the right name) was broken and the prong on the sensor it connected to was gunked up. Cleaned and fixed blade connector and all is good

Yeah I already broke two extractors then thought to myself "duh, they're exhaust bolts they're probably hardened" before I gave up lol. This is a china-bay turbo anyway so time for upgrade right? I've compiled a list of parts from extremepsi lol I may be divorced after this purchase lol. Their...

So this is what they mean when they say they feel defeated 😒 atp I might as well yank this whole mfer and start fresh. Manifold to turbo bolts not coming out either 😥

FML 😡🤬😡 taking exhaust manifold off to get to coolant pipe and busted 2/4 manifold to turbo bolts. Gotta extract those now(hopefully) amd replace water pipe o ring 😒

That's what I was thinking just didn't know if it would affect anything

Thanks for the pointers everyone I'm gonna get back on it today. Must not have been calling them the right names 🤣🤣🤣

Question about s90 and the fiav housing. As you can see in pictures the metal prong, blade, whatever you wanna call it (circled) thats screwed into the fiav, doesn't fit inside the groove on the throttle body. Amd you can see in pics the groove is much smaller on the s90. Been reading but...

Yeah I tried ratcheting wrenches couldn't get the angle.

Definitely will try that. Also gonna get a set of these maybe they'll give me some more wiggle room

I am struggling to get the bottom bolts on the intake manifold. Anyone have any tips/tricks to getting to them? I've used wobble extensions, swivle sockets and ratcheting wrenches with no success and I'm getting frustrated lol. Need to port match my manifold for the s90 throttle body. All this...

Throttle cable and cruise control module out, just waiting for non cruise throttle to show up. Gonna try to get this intake manifold off today also

Also pretty sure I found my coolant leak and idk how tf it happened but a bolt backed out on front side of water pump by the alternator and ps pump. My guess is it wasn't torqued properly. Tightened ot up will see if it holds coolant after throttle body install

Did the STM egr block off plate and removed vacuum lines according to taboo speed shop write up. Tomorrow my non cruise control cable shows up and will be doing the cc delete. Still need to port match my intake manifold for the s90 tb I have. Trying to clean up the bay it's cluttered and ugly...

Waiting on my new tb. Ordered a s90 🤷‍♂️ taking parts I'll need off my old one to put on new one

yeah im waiting on a throttle body to put on then ill fill coolant and see where its coming from

On the opposite side of motor though? It's dry where I took the tb hoses off

So, yesterday I took off the throttle body due to breaking tps bolt, this morning I wake up to a puddle of coolant under my car from driver side it looks like. I didn't plug tb hoses after removing could that be the cause? It wasn't leaking before this. I'm almost to the point of buying a hoist...

The instrument cluster should just slide into place and connectors on back should meet connectors in dash

I don't have a welder, just getting a new one and be done with it. Plus I'm pretty sure I f***ed ip the threads trying to extract it. Thanks though

The frustration is real 🤬😡🤬😡 was still having tps issues so I took it back off to test it and wiring. Found one of the wires came undone from when I put new connector on. Upon doing all this, putting back together and snapped the tps bolt.... tried to use extractor didn't work so now I'm...

That's crazy, this battery was bought brand new a year or so ago. If all else fails I guess I'll have that tested at the autozone I bought it from and see what they say. But it does hold a charge if room lamp fuse was out.

yes I am most definitely not a pro, or even close lol. just trying to learn as I go. I've unplugged interior light bulbs, door switches, trunk switch and bulb, and gonna chock it up to being the crappy aftermarket radio that I had installed. We'll see what happens. :idontknow:

well it didn't die overnight like usual, will continue to monitor. didn't act like there was any drain when i started it up this morning still cranking strong. Maybe i didn't let it sit long enough lol. Thanks for all the info. Once again I HATE electronics and wiring lol guess I should really...

I'll definitely check those out tomorrow thanks

After I took radio out and recharged battery it would die after a day or two of not driving it. I've resorted to Taking the room lamp and radio fuse out to keep battery from dying. This has been ongoing for upwards of a year lol. Gonna leave room lamp fuse In over night and see if it dies again...

I did, it was at .63 draw before I removed it, dropped to what it is now but still killed battery

Yes, red lead on ground cable, black lead on negative battery post, pulled all fuses this is the only fuse with amperage draw. Battery tests good at 12.73v

Is this acceptable? It throws me off because all the videos have it set to 10a but mine is 5a, is it the same?
