lol

 

i dont know if you have Lee auto in your area....but thats where i got my axles....they arent re-mans they are brand new aftermarket axles and have held up to alot of abuse so far...and they dont even leak grease like 90% of the other aftermarket axles do

 

lmfao

 

So my buddy bought my single turbo setup the other day and we swapped it in today.



While we were doing the swap i was looking around the engine bay and i found a good spot to run my wire tuck. Planning on doing the tuck on tuesday. i'll keep you guys updated.

 

Thanks I don't think I have a Lees auto around my way..I ended up getting my axel from NAPA parts and installed it the same day.

 

Also did my oil change, car still feels sluggish/CAT clogged/soemthing holding my car back I think I am gonna have a mechanic look at it and tell me what may be wrong and then fix it myself.

 

Can't wait untill Friday. I'm going to the NHRA US Nationals this weekend.

 

lucky me.. on the way to work my car died.. towed it to my moms and couldnt figure out whats wrong. pulled my dizzy to check the caps and rotor and the dizzy seized up.. idk how to explain it but it doesnt spin freely.. the part that goes into the cam is rough to turn..

so i had to call in sick which mean imma be short on hours and now i have to spend money i dont have to buy a new dizzy.. FML

 

i thought your friend just bought the setup off you?

 

he did. but that money goes to JT.

 

all good atleast 1 step closer to out of debt

 

Car is back up and running but with 2 check engine lights.. Got an obd2 dizzy and repin the plug to obd1 and the car starts and drive find but i have a code 4 and 9. CKP CYP. tired switching the wires but then the car starts running shitty. imma leave it be.

 

Thats a predicament.

 

about to through my big brake kit back on for a local car show we are having in 2 weeks.

 

Feel free to tell me to GTFO, but here's my little baby.

Car: 1991 SiR EG9 Ferio

Day I bought it, with standard shocks / Jamex Springs installed
(I bought the rims brand new to put on the car for collection)



When I got it the engine had a Pod Filter, and an ITR Steering Wheel Fitted.

Things I have done to the car:

Fitted Bilstein Shocks (As the Car Currently sits now)



Fitted Alpine Head Unit



Fitted Blox Velocity Stack



Fitted 4-2-1 Headers

Before:


After:



Replaced the Valve Cover (Appologise for the messy Engine Compartment - still to deloom it)



Fitted JBL Audio GT Series Front (components) and Rear (6" 3 way)

Fitted Greddy Gear ****

Aquired a Gathers Centre Tweeter / Map light and installed



Unfitted Items:

Bought a B18C (GSR) engine for it last week, which is currently on an Engine stand outside my work office.

Eagle Silicone HT Leads
Awaiting Delivery of a Skunk2 Pro2 inlet manifold
Awaiting delivery of a Phenolic Intake Gasket
Finding Funds for throttle body currently
Trying to decide on what Flywheeel / Clutch combination to go with
Awaiting delivery of my Ostrich 2.0 and Chip to run it in the car

Any Ideas on getting a few extra Ponies out of the new engine would be appreciated, Still need to replace the Stock exhaust, but dont want anything loud / droning.
(Its my family hauler so don't want my little girl going deaf before her time)

 

Looks good.

 

car looks good. I love me some 4 doors. 4 doors more ******

 

dam just saw the pic on my computer and DAM THATS A LONG THROTTLE cable.

 

Hahaha, funny you should say that..... I have been investigating EK Throttle cables to run under the Intake Plenum. (I hate that whole loop with passion!!)

 

that was one thing i really hated about cable cars. the clutch cable just stuck out.

 

Cant say I noticed the clutch cable on my DA6 compared to the throttle cable on my EG9. Defintely going to do a bit of a tuck of the Passengers side before the B18C goes into the car (will be removing the guards so they dont get damaged)
Going to clean up the engine harness on the B18C whilst it's out of the car and try hide the loom as much as possible.

 

GL cant wait to see results.

 

I've had this car since 2002 and it's changed quite a lot over that time!

 

Well I just replaced the brake pads front & rear on the EG9 with EBC Greenstuffs, and the difference is like night and day. Possibly didnt help that some idiot had installed the read brake pads incorrectly on one side. Problem i was having, is if you trail braked a little turning a Left the back of the car would start to swing out. I had replaced the Trailing Arm bushing thinking this was the problem, replaced the brake hoses as they were perished and the brake feel wasn't right. So I tried replacing the brake pads, I pulled the old ones out, to see that the R/H Rear pad on the inside was worn on like 30' angle. Looks like someone had installed it without locating the dowel into the cross on the rear brake piston, which caused the brake pad to sit incorrectly and inadvertantly giving less braking surface on the rotor.

In other news, here's my B18C on the pallet outside my office about to be lifted into the loft whilst I'm on Vacation



It's now been converted from OBD2A to OBD1, and I will be doing a custom engine harness for it once I get the Skunk2 Inlet Manifold on it.

 

What setup are you running and what kind of power?
