As you can see I have a long way to go and I belive the progress with this is gonna be SLOW at best. I've already spent more than the Wifey wanted me to so it's time to hit the Overtime to make this happen.

If you guy see anything missing or something I should fix let me know.



Update 02-20-2008
Guys It's really comming along looks like all I have to purchase is smaller things and the most important is the WIDBAND. I've just about run out of my Incometax money so I'm gonna have to start useing my actual paycheck from here on out. LOL


Update 02-21-2008

I Purchased a Evo Fuel pump today and I decided not to get a EGT gage just yet.

I need to get a couple of things from you guys. I'm about to search for it so If I get the answer before had I will edit with my findings. I need to get the exact info for the Extended studs so I can go to Autozone to buy them Locally. Also I need a Part number for the NGK Plugs one range Colder. THANKS GUYS TO ALL THE PPL I HAVE PM'D AND HAVE HELPED


Update again 04/11/2009

Ok I had hit a down time with money but I'm back to working on getting this thing in. I have Took off the Powersteering, and the AC so I have plenty of room to that side of the block. I plan on getting the oil pan installed tomorrow and just plugging it until I'm ready to put the turbo on. I had sold my old evo8 turbo and mani but I have already ordered another one.

[Ithinkyou]

all id say is note the studs for the spacer. but you can still find them at auto shops. It took me a while only because i was looking for the wrong pitch initially. oh well lol

plus you can pull those in preparation for later, because they all wont come out with the same ease and it gets time consuming.

[ace79603]

Thanks man I'm updateing that.

My first quesiton which oil filter adapter could I use?? I'm going if Glowshift.

Accessories - Oil Filter Sandwich Adapters

[GSKNIGHT]

On the oil sandwich adapter, check with Summit Racing; they have one that fits our cars for like $27.00 from PermaCool.

Also, if you need any welding done I can bring my MIG up to Abilene...I know a lot of the shops up there want outrageous prices for simple exhaust work.

[ace79603]

I did find the premalcool but I belive this one fits as well. The Glowshift one has 4 outlets while the prema cool only has two I belive.

Oil Filter Sender Adapter - 22mm 1.5 Thread - GS-OFm22

or

[virtuaframax]

i have the glowshift one and works perfectly! no leaks and holds the -30 degrees of the chicago weather!!!

btw, congratz on finally start ur thread and turbo project!!!

ps: i dont mind at all u took my list

[ace79603]

ok thanks Virtua. So did you get the one that I posted??

[ace79603]

Alright guys I just Bought some more stuff. I got an Evo Fuel Rail and FPR and evo 8 560's injectors also. updated first post

[toogood11]

dont forget to figure in for a beater. there will be downtime on this car in the first few months you turbo it. it isnt common for an install to go 100% as planned with no issues.

good luck, buddy!

[ace79603]

LOL I hope there isn't much down time. I do have a Van that I can use but I'm hopeing not to run into to many issues. The actual installation might be months and months from now. I'm gonna install all the eletronics and fuel componets first and then after when evertyhign is ready I will try the install.

Thanks for the heads up tho.

On a side note Is 200.00 for a AEM wideband(used) a good deal???
or where esle should I go

[toogood11]

200 for a uego is very good. granted theyre 270-300 new, getting $100 off is a fantastic deal.

[ace79603]

I just bought the Glowshift adapter and a boost gauge and oil pressure gauge

[ace79603]

very nice info
Stealth 316 - Fuel Pressure Regulator Upgrade

[ace79603]

Just purchased the intercooler from just-intercoolers

I have a Quesiton what would be the best "univeral intercooler pipeing???

can someone link me to one thanks

[3g-izzle]

Most everyone uses ebay intercooler piping. You can get it welded to get rid of some of the couplers. But if your patient you can find on here someone selling a set of aai\tearstone piping. I actually think i saw someone parting out an xtech kit. not sure if that kits piping is the best but it all fits...
Edit: The xtech kit is for the V6 sorry.

Yeah I'm getting the universal kit but there are some that have different pipeing like these tow

[3g-izzle]

Yea i've seen alot of people on here run that type of intercooler piping so i'd just try to pm them and see what they used. Like the bends they needed and all.

[virtuaframax]

i got a 2.5" IC piping from ebay... couplers are nice (3-4 pry) and the pipes are beaded... let me see if i can find where i bought it from...

Thanks man I just don't want to buy a kit that will not have the bends that I need you know?

[ace79603]

Aright I'm about to buy a 1g Blow off Valve. i'm researching the crushed and uncrushed stuff and it looks like the crushed is for the higher boost since i'm only going from any where from 8 to 12 psi i should be ok right?

[3geclipse^]

Also I just purchased a Evo Fuel Pump

[ace79603]

I've got the Spark plugs Part number it's in the sticky LOL

What a Dumbass

Thanks Guys

[ace79603]

Well For Spark Plugs I'm useing NGK BKR6EIX-8

Does that sound about right for one range colder??

Edit***

[steadly2004]

One or two ranges colder should be fine, the iridiums are just supposed to be better at not getting fouled for any reason. When I was running rich, even if the spark plug was coated with crap, the contact point on the iridium was clean as hell.

[ace79603]

Yesterday I bought the Fuel pump, DEI Heat wrap, Lower IC Pipeing and have the part numbers for me to purchase the plugs tommorrow.

[toojdm4u]

congrats man......i thought i was moving fast, but looking at your list im a part or two behind you. good luck with everything!

rob

[toojdm4u]

and btw, contact rre and get the manifold spacer for $40 shipped. its a 1/2" thich and you gotta get it ground down to 1/4" at the top and 3/8" at the bottom by a local machine shop. just a heads up

rob

[ace79603]

Plug purchased today.

I got BKR6E-11 AND BKR6EIX-11

So I will gap them to .30 and see what happens. Also I just wasted money on another Jpipe when Cyberbrain had sent one. I didin't check the bottom of the box. Well there went 38.00 hopefully I can call monday and the will refund me

Edit******
I also RECIVED my oil pressure Gauge, Boost gauge and Oil Filter adapter and got alot of tracking numbers on alot of other parts


Edit2***********

I went to the Dealership today and tried to order a oil pan gasket and the said we don't have one to just to go buy a tube of silicone and to use that. He even showed me the picture of it on his computer. I went to Advanced, Autozone, Oriley's, Napa, AND Pepboys and they all had a Gasket listed but all Where sepecial order. Should I just use Silicone or go buy and actual Gasket????

[4g64t]

just get the silicone thats how it is from the factory. rtv Grey is what you need dont get the stuff from the dealer its like 30 bucks for the same sized tube you can get at autozone for 6

[ace79603]

BE VERY CAREFUL when gapping the iridiums. It may stand up better than platinum and stuff, but when pressure is applied directly it breaks off easily, and you know they aren't cheap. And the lifetime warranty doesn't include damage due to gapping.

Yeah thanks man but the iridiums I bought I checked them out and they are all gaped to .30 already

[ace79603]

[3g-izzle]

Looking good man.

[ace79603]

I just bought the sealant and I'm ordering the evo manifold Gaskets at the dealer unless you guys have anywhere else on the web that could get them for less than 20.00 each. Also Ordering the Return flange.

So two more off the list

ALMOST DONE woot woot

[ace79603]

Ive been trying to get the SES light to go away first I had a P0136 code for heater circet ro what ever fixed that and then got P0421 did the Anti Fowler fix and that did the trick for about 3 days and then I got this code

P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Tank Detected (gross leak)

Autozone said it was a big exahst leak. I guess it could be leaking where I put the antifouler but should I worry about it or just forget it since It's all comming off anywayz???

[ace79603]

I'm looking into the wideband now and I'm going with either

innovate LC-1 wideband for 165.00 and just use Evoscan

innovate LC-1 wideband w/ DB gauge 235.00

AEM UEGO for 259.00 plus make a cable for logging with evoscan

What do you guys think?

I'm probly gonna go with the Innovate LC-1 with DB

[4g64t]

i went with the lc-1 and db gauge, i started not to get the gauge but im not going to have my laptop hooked up every time i get in the car so i need a way to keep and eye on my a/f ratio

you could also get this gauge if you just want a little display

well that's 79.00 bucks and if I get the DB it's 70 so I think I'm just gonna get the lc-1 w/ DB

[toojdm4u]

btw, the emmisions code is for the fuel system, not your "exhaust leak". i would start by making sure your gas cap is tight, and clear the code. if that dont work then you got a leak somewhere inyour fuel system. havent had that prob. yet, so i havent had any experience in checking the evap system. i would take it to the dealer to check it out if that doesnt work. and if its got a "huge exhaust leak" then you could hear it. i hate the people at autozone, when they dont know what they are talking about

[toojdm4u]

how come you bought two different sets of plugs? just wondering if their was any special reason for that?

I was wanting to go with the stock wastegate which is at 12 psi.

I was thinking about going the 2 ranges colder anywayz so I might as well do it

[steadly2004]

My wastegate spring was supposed to be like 10psi, and it ended up holding 8, then the 14psi spring I ordered held like 11-12psi

[ace79603]

Transmission is comming out in the next couple of days and make sure everything is good and nothing needs to get replaced.

[ace79603]

I orderd the clutch and took out the trany today But when I went to take it to the same trany shop I did couple of years ago now they are chargeing 200.00 just to open it up instead of 50.00 like before. I could not find anyone else here to take a look at it. They keep on wanting to ship it off to another company
