Thanks man Hope everyone gets a good laugh at how I did my coolant and oil lines for my turbo

I had a talk with a friend of mine that works on semis and if you look at their turbos, they use rubber line off there turbos too in some places. But that was the fastest way I could find to do it...

The big long hose that loops across the front is the coolant line feed, and theres one in the back that goes to the back steel housing thats the coolant line return. The oil line is 1/2 banjo fitting 1/2 AN LOL Best I could do, this pic is before the oil return line was done, its marine wet exhaust line , tough as hell. Rest of the lines are the best transmission oil rubber lines I could find

No I have to go mount that bloody transmission mount, wheres setzep when I need him

Im at little under $4k I had a 5.5k budget. If you guys want to try this figure for maybe around 7k... I m getting ready to get my guages, IC, fuel pump, and Haltech. Theres the other 2. and maybe 1k for driveshaft and misc other parts such as boost controller, BOV, electric fan etc etc etc list goes on and on

I hope this bastard runs and runs like a drug dealer running from the cops!

Damn Mike P the gods are smiling down on you


oh btw when you need the drive shaft and if any rear end components you should come up to michigan or give me your parts list and let me price the stuff at DTS

although it wont be cheap,
they are the BEST in the USA

they were voted best by a ton of magazines including

Import Tuner
Hot Rod
Mopar
Honda Tuner
Street Compact Car
Super Street

and some other V8 magazines

its only a couple miles from my house

Ok sounds good, theres a place here in town that makes driveshafts etc. And he quoted me a really low pric, I believe its cause 1) they used to live down the street from me, 2) I used hang out with their son all the time when we were kids

Monday Im arranging payment with www.horsepowerinabox.com (RPM Centres store) Im getting Turbosmart BOV Type I, Haltech E6k, Turbo Smart Dual Stage Boost Controller, possibly there stage 1 fuel pump, and maybe a A'pexi 3" in/out muffler

Thought Id snag most in one swoop... By the way I wished I knew these guys before I bought my clutch and flywheel. Can you say cheap? Like $120 for a light flywheel. The land down under is the land low on prices I love it!

      Haltech group buys are a bad bad idea.

      The way I see it, anything that is a group buy is a BAD idea, I started to think about and I doubt its seriously worth the trouble...

      Too hard to get everyone organized, make sure they send the money, make sure they get what they want, shipping it, making sure you get what you ordered, keeping the **** straight, the list goes on and on. I'll pass on doing anything that involves holding a gun to my head, and the way I see it, group buys would be ritual suicide

      uhhh, we had a very nice E6K group buy a while back. when i got my E6K for my 90TII project. (t60-1, 1600cc injectors, etc etc etc). paid $1000 for e6k, 3 bar map, harness etc etc.

      i think the guy who organized it all was "thxbrett"

      at any rate this is also my first post back here in quite some time since getting sick of screwing with my TII, and buying a wrx.........but i just recently picked up yet another RX7, an 85, which will soon be the new home for my haltech and 13bt
