LOL what excitement you could start your own forum section with all of the threads on your build

 

release pressure first...wear goggles..lol

 

I forgot to release the pressure last time and I shat my pants when it popped off, lol. O wellz....

 

So your installing it on the stock block now, and your building the motor when?

 

yeah I knocked off one on accident install a Vortech on a friend covertible z....line was ghetto fixed from when he bought it used....

I thought I was going to die when that shizzil hit me in the face! It was funny though...neighbors coming outside to see what the noise was...lol

NEVER AGAIN THOUGH>....lol

 

Haltec

 

Ok, I didn't have time to load all the pics up yesterday so ill do them tonight after all the piping is on. First off..so far for the MOST part its been extremely easy. Not till the very end (most likely from lack of sleep) did this kit test my patience. By far the hardest(only hard part) was lining up the up pipes and getting everything to fit properly. Clearance is null on this kit everywhere haha. They are all on and tighend up for the most part. Im not sure if maybe something isnt lined up right but theres about 1/2 mm between the DP and the fender..pretty much with everthing. Also it says something about using a pry bar to move a water line out of the way...anyone care to elaborate on this one? I should have everything finished tonight.

 

so is your motor built?

 

I went with the 37r tuner kit. I then purchased the Haltech platinum, walbro 255(cjs twin/fuel return coming but im going to sit on it till i do the motor),and DW 850cc injectors. My plan right now is .3bar(about 4 psi) just to make sure EVERYTHING works properly, once everything is up and running good for about a month im going to take it all apart, check for any clearance issues(pipes hitting/melting things) and then build the motor and break it on on .3bar.


Oh yeah, thanks z2envy for the instructions! This kit can be installed with without instructions for the most part...but they did help clear a few things up.

 

what are your plans for tuning?

 

Pruven Performance or ICS in CT.


Im also going to look into purchasing one of those engine torque braces. Everythings so close and I know those are supposed to help limit sideways movement and might help the pipes from getting banged up against the side of the car and what not.

 

Why dont you come down to MRC with me. we'll go as civics, come back as lambos

oh ya and also, why dont you take progress pics. you know, pics as you go. not every little detail but just to give us an idea.

 

I did, im going to post them all up at once though..so they are easier to find. Jeffies post helped me alot. I used his as the instruction manual since I didn't get it until today from another member.

 

Are yous till coating the I/C and piping?

 

I would suggest MRC as well in your area. Even though Julian can be a D bag apparently he knows what the hell he's doing when it comes to tuning.

 

I would then recommend solid motor mounts. Also improves the response and feel for the car.

(Does add a touch of vibration, but the Ladies don't seem to complain...LOL)

 

WOW, I had a good LOL on that one.... on another note its not a little vibration it is considerable. Just my 2 YEN

 

im in for the ride!!! i'll b starting my build soon too!!!

 

IMO solid motor mounts plus 3.79$ might just buy you about a gallon of 91 octane......that how much i think they are worth

 

i cant wait for pics!!!
