TurboXS with MAP sensor, software


Stock computer with bracket


Computer, bracket, with TurboXS attached


Where I cut the boot to run the MAP sensor


about to install in the dash


I hope this fitment is the same for everybody. It was so tight that I bent back some of the metal under the dash so it wouldnt scrape. The carpet against the firewall is so thick I had to shove it in and risk bending something

 

[/QUOTE]Not sure if I like the sag, but it looks way better than the open spot on the passenger side with no exhaust there[/QUOTE]

try bolting up into the crash bar i used three screws and it gave me a straight line as long as you dont mind drilling into your bumber

 

I <3 DIY's

 

Removing from factory location behind the seat


removing the bracket


This little thing is easy to lose


side by side of the stock (left) and the walbro 255 (right)


Trimmed the white tabs to make the longer fuel pump fit. I didnt have to modify the plastic bracket at all, it actually fit fairly snug

 

wow


i heart this thread!

 

Stock lines before, Drivers side


Stock lines before, below windshield


Another view below windshield


Lower AC line vs powerlabs (longer)


Upper line vs powerlab (top)


Upper line with powerlab ac line installed


Lower line from powerlab only seems to fit going under the sway bar. Glad I didnt remove it now, makes it easier to figure out.


top down view of new lines installed on compressor.

 

Removing the upper plenum (motordyne plenum previously installed)


the plenum spacer is the white border


lower plenum removed


Preparing to remove the injectors from the fuel rail and install the new ones


comparison pic, deatschwerks on bottom


since i was in there, I replaced the injectors with http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NGK-6619/ Heat Range 6, Not easy to come by.


Back 2 cylinders had oil in the plug tunnel. Seems to be a common issue, I havent seen any oil burning. Not planning on changing the valve gaskets yet, hope it lasts a bit longer


Torquing the lower back on, what a tedious chore. 40 INCH lbs, then 80, then 100.


finally back together again after another round of torquing. Have to make sure not to squeeze the oil grommet in between plenums. already made that mistake once

 

Good to see you doing this yourself. You will see the benifit if something goes wrong down the road (hope it doesn't) , but you never know. It is a proven kit, just a bit too tight for my liking.

Good luch.

 

Stock oil pan


Oil pan off

Before removing the sealant gunk


about as clean as I could get it


Installed the inside spacer before laying the sealant


I know its prob too much sealant, it was my first attempt. Hard to get a steady bead without a gun


Driver side view installed


Passenger side view installed

 

whew, thats about where I am at for the moment. Thanks for the comments it helps keep me motivated. Future posts will take a bit longer since I have some dental work to be done in the next few days. Also for whatever reason what takes one person 1 hour , it takes me 3. Its taken me weeks to get to this point.

 

looks great man, keep up the great work, and congrats on the purchase! cant wait to see it up and running

 

Awesome picture diary.

 

Congrats! No worries. Take your time and it'll be all right! Your posts keep us motivated

 

what are you doing about the windshield washer? completely taking it off or do you have a replacement that will work with the kit?

 

Good Work, and pic's.

 

awsome! it makes me honestly miss the days of doing my vortech install. I hated some things about it, but it was fun.

i'm curious what the washer tank has to do with anything? is it for intercooler fitment?

 

^^You have to totally remove the windshield washer tank to fit the massive 3 inch intake piping that comes off the intercooler to the intake. And also the radiator overflow tank gets removed and replaced with a smaller one.

 

Nice writeup so far! I can't wait to put this on my G35!

 

Did you do the mod to the siphon valve and regulator when you installed the Walboro 255?

 

Do you mean drill holes in the side of the "bucket" ?
Yes, but I forgot to take pictures of it

or are you referring to the Swirl Jet mod?
I didnt drill out valve with a bit. The powerlab instructions dont mention it.
If I have fuel pressure probs I may have to go back and update it.

These instructions?
