Yeah, I learned my lesson about being nonchalant with wiring considerations. I had all my connections secure using correct connectors and good routing, but I didn't consider running the fuse with regards to a short circuit, only to protect the electronics. That's why a second fuse is going in now.

Oh it's not that bad to look at, just worried about the harness' status. On a bright note, the car runs fine, and there's no apparent side effects whatsoever, aside from the fact that I have no radio now... Yes, I did fuse the wire, but back at the amps. The 8 gauge went into a fuse...

I was driving to work and had just gotten off the highway, and my radio starts turning off and on. I think- hmm must be a loose wire. Just then, I see thick white smoke come out from under the hood. My first reaction, naturally, was to look at the temp gauge, but it was happy as can be. Then I...

Nice work man.

I used AN-6 on mine, which is equivalent to 3/8, but I would think 5/16 would be ok.

Glad to see the progress, Dow- I'm hoping that next weekend is going to be the engine swap for me(FINALLY). Then we can see how these pistons work : )

Latest news-(yes, I'm still working on this car): I've ordered the clutch, it should be here in two days. I've finally gotten all of the An10 fittings in- I had ordered two 45 degree fittings in the wrong size, so I had to wait on those to be exchanged. Also, I bought a couple of things for my...

My understanding is that the stock turbo elbow is a real restriction. If you're going for more power, get a Dp or at least a new elbow. If you're doing this to research incremental power gains for particular mods, then rock on.

HUGE update! I just picked up a serious power adder: OK- So it's not that much progress! I was just afraid that my thread was going to rust and fall off the back of the forum! Yeah, I forgot to put on my gas cap at the pump- first time since I've owned the car. I feel bad because it...

I'm scared to think of how fast that lightweight little car is going to be with that setup....

Is it possible that the arms were bent narrower during the pressing prcess?

HOORAY BEER! HOORAY BUSHINGS TOO! What colors will they be available in? Can I order mine with a....red...stripe? No? Nothing? I went too far, didn't I... I don't know jokes....
