No worries brother. I play as well, been in bands for the last 4 years on and off. All the band dudes got into cocaine and acid which isn't my scene whatsoever. I'm hoping to do some time trials this year, get into the whole circuit thing. I do admire your work ethic and the quality of this build. That EFR is going to be off the charts.
As far as Between the Buried and Me goes, I saw them with in Flames years ago and blew my mind. White Walls. Song completely changed the way I listen to music.

Small Update:
Filled the coolant system. I re-positioned the upper radiator hose so that there is a light gradual incline from the radiator to the upper part of the water filler neck...and it made the hugest improvement in filling the system. I opened the bleeder on the radiator as well and filled the system completely with no back pressure....if that makes sense. No gargling and waiting for air pockets to bubble up. Went and grabbed a couple bottle of water wetter and 4 gallons of 100% distilled water. Filled the system up and let it sit over-night.
There were no leaks this morning so that's a good thing. Waiting on my Vac fittings and oil feed fittings so I can crank her over. Other than that......everything is ready to fire.
Things on the top of my priority list are:
Oil level port re-seal. Seems as if It's not sealing correctly and it has a small leak. I hate leaks so I'll be fixing it so it doesn't leak..but I don't want to have to drain the oil entirely so this is my plan. Jack up the Drivers side of the car 2 ft. This will hopefully be enough to keep all the oil in the pan away from the port..so I can take it off without oil draining all over the place. Anyone ever try this? haha... I'll let you guys know how it works out lol.
- Fab up downpipe
- fab up waste gate dump pipes
- Fab up all Charge Pipe
- have someone weld out the dash bar of my cage. Still needs to be fully welded out
- New front tires
- Seal Radiator/Intercooler/Oil cooler duct work to heat exchangers with Exhaust adhesive tape.
- Install Dash, can't do this till dash bar is fully welded out.
- mount dash to dash bar
After these things the car should be dyno ready. hopefully I can make a big dent this weekend. We'll see.

Update: "A busy weekend"
where to start......
Well how about with a little leak?
For the past couple weeks I've had a little oil leak since I filled the motor with oil. The OEM oil level sensor was leaking... and this was the first time I've ever installed it without using permatex. ....and it leaked.. so I jacked up the car on the drivers side as I said I was going to.. but realized really quick i'd have to to go beyond an angle I was comfortable with. So I just drained the oil ....dried the level sensor and re-installed it with permatex. Filled oil a few hours later and no more oil leak. oil leak= fixed.
Made my turbo feed line. -4AN steel braided line covered in baker fire sleeve.
Now that everything was ready to go at this point. I needed a down pipe. Could've went to an exhaust shop to get it made but I decided to make the cuts and tackle the job on my own. Then just take it to a friend to have him tack it up....me take it home to test fit it to make sure it fits and have it welded out. So here was my down pipe fab.
luckily the top and bottom didn't need to much cutting..I literally slipped this on the mid pipe and this was how it fit.
I made all cuts with my angle grinder and cleaned them up on my belt sander. Came out nice!!
sometimes I do impress myself. Not bad for your local garage mechanic.......garage hero eh?
this whole process took about 3 hours. And I had to double cut a couple things but the end product came out nice.
have to make sure they're 100% flush otherwise....it'll change the whole shape.

Tacked up

Continued:
02 Bungs
after it was tacked I brought it home to double check to make sure it all fit correctly before it would be fully welded out. It fit well so it was ready to be welded out.
Went out to top drift after dropping off the down pipe and got a call soon thereafter. The pipe was finished =-)
scheduled an in route pick up haha...thanks to my good buddy for welded it out for me on short notice.
mmmm 4" stainless goodness.
Installed, and car was ready to start.
02 installed, the second bung is aux for another on the dyno if need be.
The wolfe. God I love this car
waiting for my first start video to load to photobucket...my last one I loaded twice and still to this day I have no idea where it is haha. I've looked for it but I must've uploaded it to who the hell knows where because its no where to be found.
It was good to hear it though. Everything checked out great. Timing was a degree or so off. ANd I was able to get it hot to bleed the coolant system. Eerything looks good guys. Need to find some front tires to throw on so I can get this thing out and broken in. ALso need charge piping.
Still Lots to do!!
More Updates soon!
Stay tuned!!

Small Update:
A buddy hit me up and had some used tires I could use for the time being. Federal 595's. Going to be trying to fit some 235's possibly 225's when the car is done being broken in. These are 215/35's. Good price and for decent tires and they clear. Gives me some time to get the car sorted. THEN I can worry about alignment steering and clearance.
215/35/18 on a 9.5
Also pulled my downpipe off to wrap it. I used this Therma-cool stuff this time. You lightly dampen in with water after you wrap it and let it dry in the sun (I used a heat gun) and it shrink's tight. I really like it. Came out good...but it's always a pain wrapping it as tight as you want.
Then I spent the next hour and a half making sure to seal off ALL the openings in my radiator and oil cooler ducting. As stated in the past......and in multiple "cooling" threads...this is very important. So I did the top bottom and sides as well as on the insides to help prevent the air from blowing out the sides of the ducting. Check it!
oil coolers
Then I started on my Wastegate Vac lines. ....And this is where I encountered a problem. An expensive one.
All 4 fittings have a weird taper to them on the hose side... This makes them almost impossible to install. I checked my invoice and it doesn't say they are specifically for anything....yet there is a brass bushing on the inside. So I can't use these....and I had to stop to order more non-tapered ones. Perfect example of a waste of money...while trying to save money. Ordered these from summit because they were 2-3 bucks cheaper per unit than the next -4 90 degree fittings. I've actually never returned a fitting before so maybe I can return them. We'll see how easy this ends up being....but I expect it to be a giant hassle.
But here is the EFR compressor cover
cut and T fitting installed
And installing the -4 AN straight hose end fittings. Make sure to ALWAYS lube them up before installing. Never broke a fitting until last week.
Anyways. I got the front wheels on and it clears so were good for the time being there. Left my Lisle funnel on for about 48 hours starting the car the first time through yesterday and i'm pretty sure the system is damn near 100% Bled. So I took the funnel off and i'll check a couple more times before I call it good.
and some pics from top drift this past weekend. Always a blast out there. Can't wait to get out on the black top.
notice anything?

you may think so, but they're not. how much are you saving for retirement, how much do you have saved for a potential family, do you have a plan to move out of the buttfuck middle of nowhere desert? didn't think so...
not sure where this is coming from. i have nothing bad to say about your mom. you were the one shitting on her, and i was the one defending her. you're the one that was blaming her for your own fuckups and i was telling you to grow up and take responsibility for your own life and your own mistakes. guess what, my parents don't even know how to pronounce college, let alone know what it is. i don't blame them for anything. i picked up what i needed to know about college when i was in high school. high school juniors and seniors are the most knowledgeable people about college, since they're all trying to get in. you must've went to school with hundreds if not thousands of them. not to mention your high school teachers, guidance counselors, coaches, etc. where the **** were you in those last few years of high school? did you think that someone would just hand you some perfect handbook on what to do and what not to do about college and you wouldn't have to pay attention to what anyone else was doing?
you want to attack and blame everyone but yourself for your own mistakes, just like how you blame your dad for somehow having the magical power to make you **** up in a soccer game. why even bring up your mom or dad in the first place, when it was you who fucked things up?
dude, look at how you're talking. you want to help others avoid your mistakes? you act like the mistakes you made are like some incurable disease you contracted. why not focus on overcoming your own mistakes? this is america ************; short of murdering someone, there are basically no mistakes that can't be overcome.
seriously, reread my original post - there was nothing disparaging in it. all it said was take full responsibility for how your life turned out and then take the necessary steps to improve it. the first step is to admit that all your failures to this point are your own fault. that's the only way you'll be able to overcome the obstacles in your life. you need to stop blaming your mom, dad, coaches, coaches kids, teachers, administrators, the neighbor's dog, and whatever else you have an excuse for.

my apologies go out to everyone who has to read this. I'll make sure to keep all this bs outta here for now on. And hopefully Confucious ^ up here does as well.

nice update looks like you are making a lot of progress.
Have you considered using a brass t instead of the plastic one you have?
Seeing a pic of that S13.4 makes me miss my v8 s13.4.

Make an assessment...

I looked for a brass tee that size too but couldn't find anything. And I could swear I've seen one somewhere before. What I usually do is get the brass tee with the internal threaded ends and get threaded barbs that are the right size to screw into them, but that might be kinda heavy for where you're putting it.

Are you commenting on how I couldn't find any either or are you asking me for more information? I'm thinking it's the former with the possibility of being the latter lol.

BIG Shloooong Update:
ALrighty.....where to start where to start..
Well over the past couple weeks I have been so busy working, wiring, Moving, and making major progress on my car.....I sometimes amaze myself at what I can accomplish in a day. But lets stick to this build. The car is in excellent shape. So I'll try to give as much detail as possible but this may take a few posts.
Ok, so I needed to finish my WG lines...
progress
All Exactly the same length VAC line to Tee from gates to map to compressor etc
Came out very nice...I love it
Manual gate pressure is set at 14.5 PSI
Wrapped Down pipe
Recieved my SFI roll cage padding from Pegasus auto. This stuff is very nice. Comes adhesive backed as well. I still needed a couple zip ties but check it!
Also mounted my cabin light and sun roof control

Found a Brass Tee fitting...and then found an additional larger one since this one but here it is..you get the idea..
Car was up and running N/A and decided to start sorting it out. Leaks, tweaks, ride height, etc etc etc. But got some gas to break in the motor. Love this shot..
Drove her out to a local drift event to hang with the buddies. Temps are in check!! love it. Accidently destroyed my ubber cool stiffie Tri point mounts rolling over a gate rail. Grabbed it and taco'd it completely. This is a good reason to get widefoot mounts. and lower shorter end links.
pulled my reg oil pressure and fuel pressure sensors and installed new FFE 150 PSI sensors. These things are rad...Go check them out!!!
Installed
yikes...one clean car....came in a little to hot on a sweeping bender... Tube rear end def did it's job though.
Buddies miata interior....LEGIT. Love everything about this car...makes over 400whp on E85....gets me Motivated!! Lets Go!!!
Made a charge pipe.. Didn't like it.... and it hit the hood badly... so I scrapped it.
here it was installed..
So I made another one... Had my buddy weld it out
Started on my WG pipes
Had my buddy weld them out as well..
Pretty much I would make cuts at my house.... clean them up and make alignment marks. Then he would simply line them up to my marks and weld them out. Couldn't thank him enough!

COntinued:
I think I deleted the pic of the two pipes completed ....crap. Sorry guys....but I've installed and un installed these bastards like 5 times.. It's a royal pain in the ***. I wish the Clamps although theyre excellent... would be easier to fasten tight.
oh wait photobucket is just slow... here you go!
Installed to double check
And because they woudln't fit...it was now time to give them room to breath!!
theres no real way to do this without making a mess....
mmmmmmm......I love it!!!
Gave it the Wolfe treatment..haha
whoooeeeeee
Wrapped the dump pipes

Got to work on the Turbo 90 degree bend into the I/C
.....well that came out nice..
Left an in car living will in case of an emergency....not that I plan on anything bad ever happening but you can never be too prepared.
still needed work but Progressing and pretty much complete....
This is with my new Black Vibrant 2" to 3" expander silicon coupler and my 3" on the cold side ...also vibrant couplers.
Spent more time under the car to install my zuka stile w/g tunes one last time hopefully
Drank some goooooood espresso... by far the best i've ever had...
Picked up a spare set of Lug nuts from a buddy with a sick rx8... thanks quintin!
..ok ok.. back to progress...
Pipes wrapped and installed..... this stuff is NASTY... I advise everyone to always wear long sleeves and wear a face mask when installing it. Burns when it gets on your skin..and I was wearing gloves. It even went through my denim jeans... itched sooo bad.
found a slight inj leak. Somehow swapped the wrong o-rings in my id 2ks. Swapped them to the correct ones and no more leaks!!
Made a list as well...
Got my Zeitronix Ethanol content analyzer in...this thing is sick. Can't wait to make the switch. SHould come in handy as well!!

This is with my new Black Vibrant 2" to 3" expander silicon coupler and my 3" on the cold side ...also vibrant couplers.
Spent more time under the car to install my zuka stile w/g tunes one last time hopefully
Drank some goooooood espresso... by far the best i've ever had...
Picked up a spare set of Lug nuts from a buddy with a sick rx8... thanks quintin!
..ok ok.. back to progress...
Pipes wrapped and installed..... this stuff is NASTY... I advise everyone to always wear long sleeves and wear a face mask when installing it. Burns when it gets on your skin..and I was wearing gloves. It even went through my denim jeans... itched sooo bad.
found a slight inj leak. Somehow swapped the wrong o-rings in my id 2ks. Swapped them to the correct ones and no more leaks!!
Made a list as well...
Got my Zeitronix Ethanol content analyzer in...this thing is sick. Can't wait to make the switch. SHould come in handy as well!!
