Slowly but surely....update

Here's some pics of what I've done since my last post...


Cut my bumper to fit the FMIC, just need to add the chicken wire. Did pretty good for free handing with no lines or tape. I used a dremel and a bunch of cutting blades.

I decided to go with S/D set up, I think I'm going to put the Air Temp sensor under the TB elbow.

Finally got the stupid Fleabay O2 housing locked in. I had an exhaust flange machined at an angle with 3mm on one side and 12mm on the other (hole to hole ends)

If you can see the gates hose right below the j-pipe, I also installed a MAC/AEM boost solenoid. Its tapped into the stock BCS for ecu controlled boost.

Here's my Evo8 ECu

And here's my new shoes!

Boost is set to zero right now so I haven't had a chance to push the turbo and new injectors yet or anything for the matter, ...

Last main thing I gotta do is change my clutch/flywheel then I can finally take it in!!!! Any locals wanna help me I'll hook it up with bbq and burrrr!!!

I wouldn't put chicken wire in front of the FMIC. They really don't get that damaged. You can do a pretty good job fixing bent fins with a radiator fin pick. Tweezers also work well. As does 2 small screwdrivers.

I could take a picture of mine after 2 winters and 20,000 miles if you'd like to see the damage.

Chicken wire just looks cheap.

Not worried about the the fins getting damaged, maybe a little bit. fck it... I need rice in my life man!! nah, I hear you, I just don't like all the openness. Wait till its done, you won't even see it that much.

Any chance you're going to be able to get your fog lights back in there? It looks like you may just have the room to do it!!

Very nice set up. Regarding the clutch I just installed a South Bend clutch pressure plate combo. There stage 3 which, has Ferramic/organic combo is a great set up and VERY LONG LASTING. Much longer lasting than Act 2100. Has 1900 lb. clamp load. There theory is lighter load and better facing for holding power. Very smooth.

I actually have an ACT 2600 w/ street disk, and a Fidanza aluminum flywheel with the steel disk. I just need to get it installed. thanks for the suggestions though..
