Just wondering how that AN fitting for the vacuum line is put on.. doesnt look like its welded. did he just tap and die a weld on fitting? what size would he have used?

^ looks welded to me

looks like the orginal nipple welded yes, but the AN adapter to the Hose end ..

I am not sure but he probably cut it with small tube cutter. Then flared it the same way you would a hard line for the fuel.

To answer your question i didnt make my own because im on a timeline trying to get my project finished and while i have the knowledge of rewiring jets with all those components i didnt feel like remaking a entire harness. Because people like Rywire buy in bulk and i dont by the time i bought everything it would have cost me just as much to make one myself then to purchase one from a already highly respected company such as Rywire and i knew i would have no issues with it and i could focus on other things on my bay.

Also i never bashed what people could afford. I only stated that calling it a fancy wrapper was a dumb statement and if you cant afford it then fine but dont go saying dumb things. Its kind of like saying i got this ebay cast turbo manifold cause the full race equal length manifold is just fancy welded tubing. No its not and if you cant afford the nice full race manifold thats fine not everyone can but saying its dumb or a waste of money really to me just comes down to hating on the fact that you cant afford it or on the people that choose to.

My apologies if i came off the wrong way in the 1st place it wasnt my intent. Just with every new thing people start calling it this but its not for instance when the big hype over twin scroll turbo started a while back everyone would say twin scroll but it wasnt. I never meant Silky hasnt made a "mil spec" harness i was more just posting to educate anyone who might not actually know what makes a harness "mil spec" and as to why you would use mil spec wiring, pins, DR-25, etc.... And i tried to be very careful not to offend anyone but apparently that didnt exactly go as planned so officially i apologize.

I say more pics less talk...

Ding Ding Ding.. you win bro. It was just a comment to show silky some love on his hard work.





Nice Job! Im sure others will say it too.. flip the booster and hide that check valve! A tucked radiator set-up on this would really set it apart too. Im sure like all project though, never finished.. Hope you dont mind my constructive criticism!

^^ del sol with H22 and turbo'd very nice!! Ill have to agree a tucked radiator would really set this off nicely.. Either way looks really nice and you really dont see alot of del sol's done up very often.. Would like to see more full pics of this.....

jdm95

Also are you still using the H22 bottom end or has it been frankenstein'd, would be curious to hear what kind of numbers its putting down.... I bet that thing is a blast to drive!!!

GSR_ITM

Thanks!! i dont mind the criticism... funny u should mention the radiator as u can see i had to fab some brackets to make it fit and i really wanted to be able to put a full size in there but no room so something different will have to be done! Like u said it will never be finished but for now its fun time!!

as for right now the motor is bone stock it put down 301.4 whp and 263.3 wtq reving to 7400 with a shitty 2.25 exhaust that is choking the **** out of the motor!! i just ordered the kteller 3" piping kit along with vibrant resonator and muffler which should be here next week then i am going back for a retune with some more boost shooting for 350whp... as for exterior shots i dont have any new ones cause the front end is in primer waiting for me to get some money to paint the car but heres an old one...

never don e a wire tuck how hard is it would like to do one on my ek

headlight is fairly easy, if you know how to wire up a radio then it shouldn't be an issue.

man too bad your not out here id paint the bumper for you just to help out.... Looks great man and im sure you will be able to put down some more power.... You ever considered putting a F22 bottom end on?? My buddy did it to his turbo prelude and it handled the boost alot better and cut him the savings of sleeving since he was only wanting to jump up to a reliable 350-400.... Anyway looks nice good work.

There is no tube nut in the picture so he cant have done it the way you describe.

Spoolinls

del sol is clean looks good

Spoolinls

i wanna do a full tuck

just finish my brothers car today .... let me know what u guys think.

traction issuez

Upon closer inspection, you are right. Probably welded.

CiToDc2

Whats sup H.T.. Im new to this thread just wanted to share some pics of my bay..just finish gettin shave and painted.Its frost white with ghost purple pearl.I post better pics soon..I will be puttin it back together really soon will keep you guys posted.. Here are some before and after pics..

G-FX

I just spent some time in the bay and I think he cut the nipple and tapped the inside of the nipple using a 1/8" NPT tap and then put on a 1/8"NPT to 6AN straight adapter. The nipple itself has a bit of meat to it .. this is the only way I can see you converting the brake booster to AN without welding it on.
