making my own with a flange that i got from joe at dezod and 1.25" pipe, i just bought a new welder just for it...lol

I already got a arc welder but i really needed(i mean wanted..lol) a wire feed welder

 

wire feed is easier IMO anyway.. used it for the bung on the s pipe.

 

wire feed is more fun by far. hahah, arc is hella hrd.

 

i think i do better with arc on thick mild steel, but welding this supper thin pipe with flux core wire is kicking my butt. I was practicing today after work and kept burning holes in the pipe, but then i started to get the hang of it. welds still look like crap though but no more burning holes in the pipe.

 

d-day tommarow and i just got my exhaust cut out in today. Ill install it tommarow.
just to give everyone an update i went ahead and installed the FIC yesterday and loaded a certain somebody's map on. Works like a charm but i have a cell. Havnt been able to check it yet. I had to scale down the injectors to stock size(well near stock) from 650 to 370. I dont plan to run stock injectors forever though but for the time being i dont have much of a choice. As soon as the injectors come in ill istall those and get a proper tune.

 

get a scangauge2

 

iv got a scanner at the shop, just didnt have time to check out the code. scangauge will have to wait for now.

 

scangauge is nice mount it in the car know the moment you see the cel lol so what oyu guys think about a closed deck 2azfe lol sorry got to keep up with the teases lol

 

what do you mean "closed deck"?

 

lol search google our motor is a open faced deck that means we have a big weak spot no suport for a sleeve during the ignition stroke nothing to suport the sleve so a closed deck does let me find some pics




see how there is a suport ring with water holes so you can still maintain good cooling but suport your sleves closed deck lol kinda get what im saying

 

i get ya, so i take it the plastic water jacket type thing isnt good enough for you.....lol

 

lol wont hold my power lol

 

so how bad was the damage to your block or where you able to rebuild from it.

 

the block is fine do you know any one that wants to buy a gt3076r? im going bigger lol

 

i might be in a few months....lol

 

lol yeah i might stick with it i will see what kinda numbers i will see lol im a go on a limb and say probably the highest xb2 numbers other then jotecs red thing lol

 

I think stock injectors are are actually 340, which might be why it's running rich, but who knows what the hell that map woudl do on a non boosted car!

Anyway, if the code your throwing is jus the P0420, do what I did and copy the entire 02 table from the X map onto the UMS map...I did, it altered my AFRs a little (richer out of boost, leaner in boost) but my CEL has not come on for a week and 100 miles!

 

ill look into it today Phil, thanks for the tip

 

install day yo!!!

 

Good luck with your install, crush. Mine is delayed due to Hurricane Ike
