Looks good overall, but I would invest in some new couplers (90* ones). Try to go for the 4-ply silicone ones, they are nice and strong.
 
Oh, well from the pics they look like they are well used so I didn't know what kind of condition they are in. They have cut marks it looks like from the worm clamps so maybe they are older :confused:
 
Oh i thought you meant i need additional couplers,ill probabally replace them i just want to get everything on firsty and sicne they are easily accessible its no big deal to take em off and put on new ones but yeah theyre used and it looks like a worm clamp was used on them and il lbe upgrading the few worm clamps i have to t-bolt,ive got a mixture of both LOL.
 
The only thing you might not like about that Turbo Manifold is that it puts your turbo in the center. There might be some small fitment issues. But nothing that will be to big of a problem. I invested in a nice Turbonetics Manifold from Slowboy racing. You can always block off the WG on the mani. I know not everyone has the cash to spend on something that expensive so you could try ebay. I think I have seen cast ones on there for around 280$ Nice project you got going there. What are you going to do for you fuel mods?

hey thanks,im going with 12:1 fmu and stocker injectors for the time being hopefully change it in the next year most likely to sfmu with 30lb accels or maybe 8 injector setup.Not sure yet i still have some more parts to order though
 
Nice, you are going to enjoy it trust me. No matter how many headaches my car gives me on a rebuild, or when im working on it. When you get in that drivers seat and start her up...and she runs nice. There is no other greater feeling!

manifold studs/nuts you are gonna wanna get the 4g63 studs and nuts, a quick search will get you the part numbers, I'll try and find them for you.

edit: here's part numbers
Exhaust man. stud to head 8mm MD005317
Exhaust man. nut 8mm MD092806
Exhaust washer 8mm MD041192

and you can get them from RRE (at the bottom of the page)
RRE exhaust manifold studs/nuts


I have the RFL, it fit fine with my stock hood and fits fine with my invader hood. I think it just depends on where it is on your piping. I'd say my vac line for it just hits my hood, but it is not pinched at all.

You can see approximately where mine is on my piping here:

Hey thanks i already had the part numbers but i give you an A for effort LOL.Ive got the hrc stage 2 wtih fmic,and it has an apexi flange,which i made an adapter flange so it probabally sits a good inch higher than just the turboxs flange :-\
Looks like youve got the star kit anyone else with the turboxs give me some input.thanks

edit: Also forgot where can i pick up a fire sleeve for my upper radiator hose,and what kind of radiator is that? It looks nothing like mine.
