    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    Yeah, only issue is they are only 7" wide :( I need more tire to put down the power I'm currently making, let alone what the new turbo and cams will make!

    Allright guys this thread is going to be for all you who love to argue

    Chewy's a big, mean Wookie and Bigfoot's just a big-footed oaf. Bigfoot never talks and Chewy waaahahaaha's. rodama5anthony - why not just strap a busted S/C from a 3800 onto the engine and let it scream to death?

    I saw what you did there :P Chewy's got this, no problem. Just stay out of kickboxing range!

    12.5-12.9v when the engine is running, bad alternator?

    How much electronic equipment are you running? If you're running a big pump, lights, gauges, sound system, etc you might be drawing more power than the Alt can put out. Either way I'd suggest a bigger alt (I've heard good things about MR2 and Driftmotion's 140 units) But yes, anything below...

    I am stuck on what to do masterpower install issue....

    Yep. It will be tight, but it will be more quiet than an open dump, and it will work. If you want to re-do the exhaust later you can, this is just the easiest fix I see at the moment.

    Go recirculated on the wastegate- I think it's a good option given the space involved

    Yep, the rims on the car right now are ICW 17" rims. They have about 3/8-1/2" clearance, so lots and lots of space! But, Vollk may design their drop center a bit different than ICW, so that may play a factor.

    Cool stuff, the front end is back together! Brakes feel great and the suspension feels quite a bit stiffer. Still needs an alignment badly, but that can wait until nicer weather, not to mention I need to do the rear :P Sway bars will be the next major suspension purchase, then that should be...

    Got 'em from work (dealership). I'll get the part number in a sec. You have to install them kinda weird, the spring wire that holds it onto the upper control arm is finnicky to say the least. You put the boot on with no wire, then spread the wire out with 2 hook style picks then fanagle it into...

    Cool, got it all done, aside from the brake bleeding :D I'll be doing that tomorrow night and then throw the wheels on to see how it looks! Pics tomorrow, I'm going to bed. With all of this I had to replace the head gasket on my snowblower which blew right after I started plowing the...

    That's what I figured. Shielding shouldn't affect the power system, just makes a little more noise through the radio.

    Block Surface Cleanup/Flush Post BHG

    It's another coolant passage :) There are a whole lot of them in the block, the HG just blocks some to get the desired coolant flow through the block and head! Blue is an oil return, also.
