Phase 1 of the MS3 install is done. All I did was install all the wires that were "tapped" into the existing wires (meaning I didn't do any of the wires that required me to cut them). This was simply so the car would still start and be running completely on the stock ECU, but the MS3 should...
I'm assuming you'll be going with an un-divided T4 manifold. I think that Dave H has a basic log design, and maybe some fancier designs as well, that'd all be cheaper than say a Full Race manifold, but more than an Ebay unit. Might be worth asking him about what he has, and that'd keep it...
I picked this up in September, so I started this thread over here a little late as I'm a noob over here.
And I ran E85 in the Talon for about 4 years. That's what this will be running as well. As long as E85 is readily available at the pumps I will run it, it's good stuff. But no methanol or...
Big thanks to brownman for coming over and manning the brake pedal. Brakes are bled. Took it for a quick spin around the block and they seem to work great! Damn near had a flat tire however which was random but oh well.
Also got some new shit today as well.
Stereo (round 2)
Stopped at MAP...
Get to pick up the new stereo tomorrow at DHL. I gotta drive to friggen Bloomington to get it though, booo.
And the brake lines are done, front and rear :) The rear was easy, I just had to make a single short line from the master cylinder to the bottom of the firewall as that is where the...
Didn't have much time today, but was able to go to my cousins today and borrow his flaring tool. I removed that first upper line and decided to just give this flaring tool a shot while laying in bed. One end was already flared, so I only had to flare one end. So here's my pics of the process...
Ha, yeah. Biggest blizzard in 20 years here in Minneapolis, and I completely missed the entire thing as I spent the weekend in Fargo. The Metrodome collapsing though, ha that is kinda crazy!
Also I just checked the line that goes from the master cylinder to the Tee. The highest point in that...
I'm not going to get into any kind of intercooler debate here.
So anyhow no real big update. Spent the weekend in Fargo so wasn't able to do much. However Dave H was kind enough to let me and the lady stop by to chat for a little while this weekend. I picked up a drain line flange from him...
Thanks. I actually am from up in Minneapolis, and my g/f is in Fargo. I've meet Dave H once at the track awhile back, and hopefully find some time to swing by his place and check it out this weekend. His car is amazing in person to watch going down the track. I'm sure if you got his NA-T kit...
Just because a portion of a heat exchanger isn't 100% exposed in the front of a vehicle, doesn't mean that portion isn't seeing any moving air, and isn't offering additional cooling to the intake charge. Sure in an ideal world, you'd want as much exposed to that blast of air in the front of the...
Front brake lines are all mocked up. All I need to do is some flaring which I think is going to suck, haha. Here's some pics, showing how the line is routed.
The line from the bottom of the Tee, coming down then bent right under the brake booster, then bent straight again to continue going...
Like I said, the fronts and rears were machined at two different shops. The rears were done at Oreilly's. Actually a pretty poor turning job in my opinion. But those are the ones that look like they "just came off the lathe". So I brought the fronts elsewhere to get turned. The fronts I had...
I've been lurking around here for awhile, and this place seems a lot more friendly then some "other" forums, so figured I'd put up my build thread over here. I already have this build up elsewhere, so I'm just going to copy and paste from the beginning to where it sits today in here.
Enjoy :)...
