Meowing? lol you must be deaf then. j/k

My car should be ready before then. Hmmm wonder what you have up your sleeve now?

 

June 15th is a long wayyyyyyys away. I'll get a few things in by then as well. =)

 

which water/meth injection are you thinking of getting?

 

Yea it does look pretty clean. Woooooo.

 

DAY 1 COMPLETE!

Also had time to work on my wheels.
Out to get some more clear coat
Maybe this time all my wheels will come out nice and shiny.

 

Congrats lol. Those are some nice pics.

 

Im thinking of the aem water/meth injection kit from the dezod site. Snap some pics of your wheels when your done with them!

 

I'll probably take some pictures on monday though.

Taking out the manifold/turbo/downpipe, makes doing things so easy, lol.

Thermostat was superrrr easy with all the extra room.
Radiator hoses and diversion panel were already easy.

Tomorrow...... 3-Pulley install.

Hopefully I can get the crank pulley bolt out without air tools, if not i'll have to rent one at home depot.
I also have to tighten the new belt properly, and make sure it goes back in the way it was >.<

Wish me luck, first time doing most of this stuff , lol.

 

Good luck man..where are u doing all of this?

 

Thank you guys for coming to my birthday get-together. A brand new year is just a few days ahead of us, so lets make it a good one to remember.

Remember everyone, Moroso is on January 18, 2008, FRIDAY, and it's open from 6-11pm. We are meeting up at 5:30pm and we will leave by 6pm due to the fact that some people don't get out of work till 5pm or 5:30pm.

 

^Yea im gona try my best to go.

Ok, so would a header result in slightly better gas mileage for some reason? I don't imagine it would but I seem to be getting a wee bit better gas mileage since the header was put in. Also, since im not throwing a cel the computer isn't adjusting the air/fuel ratio right?

 

I believe.... that the ecu is always monitoring the afr through the narrowband, and constantly changing the fuel to an extent. So even if you aren't getting a cel, the ecu is still doing its thing.

So if you were to reset the ecu, it would make long term adjustments (first), and once its better fine tuned (a few hundred miles), the ecu switches over and does short term adjustments (second). Oh yea whenever you turn the car off and on, the short term adjustments are reset. Long term adjustments are only reset when the battery is disconnected.

If you are getting better gas mileage with the header, i'm guessing that it makes you run a bit leaner, than before. Would have been nice to have known the AFR before and after the header install @ WOT.

So thats todays class lol.

 

At my fathers house. Hes in russia right now though, lol.

I have the yard all to my self.

Still working on pulleys, should be done late tonight, or early tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the info. That shoudn't have a effect on the s/c or my overall performance though right?

 

And if i switch pulley's I still shoudn't run to lean?

 

Time for an upgrade so im letting go my vis oem c/f hood go... its in excellent condition.. used only for a few months... need the money for a new project on the tc... and i wana clean it up a big...

heres the most recent pic of the hood...



hood shines like a ****!!!...has been waxed and taken well care of... i am willing to meet up in person to help with the sale...

*** HOOD ONLY HAS 1 SMALL MINOR .25 sized nick... barely noticable.... can be fixed easily down the line when u re clear it after a few years...

asking $300. 1up and 1up friends get a discount price!!...

 

No it shouldn't affect the s/c, as far as mechanical damage.
Header should give you better top end if i'm not mistaken, and the ecu should compensate for it to some extent, lol. So no problem.

 

If your talking about the supercharger pulley, I would get a piggy back.
If your talking about the crank/alt/water pulley. should be no problem.

 

DAY 2!!! Almost finished

I was able to install the Alternator/Water Pump pulleys.

The Crank Pulley is a BBBB!!!ttttchhhhh to remove, i'll try again tomorrow, if I can't get it out after an hour, i'll rent a tool at home depot.

I'm wraping the tubes with exhaust wrap as we speak. I'll spray it with hi-temp silicone tomorrow.

Soooo hopefully, I can get the crank pulley on tomorrow, and continue with the rest of the install.

 

Damn your reallyyyy keeping busy lol. And yea, i was talking about the s/c pulley. I know a guy running a megan header w/the the pulley with no problems and Im not gona have the cash to dish out for a piggy back any time soon, so i guess ill give it a shot and hope i don't run too lean.....
