bump for ya

um....just unhook the wastegate rod from the wastegate and you can drive around as long as you need to...

with it unhooked you'll automatically get blow-by and it'll be just like natty aspirated....

now, while you are doing this I highly suggest you purchase another unit off ebay so it doesn't become habit.

OH! and for all the smog gods out there...no, we don't do this when we get smog checked and yes, the greddy manifold cover serves a better purpose than to hide this...

sux man. i know how u feel.... someone jacked all my posts... TWICE!!

i still got he broken banjo bolt too the bolt for the oil feed line.......oil will just be all over the place.....someone just end it all for me

stackz

um, to replace the banjo bolt just go the junkyard with your broke one and start taking the brake lines off of different cars with disc brakes until you find the correct thread banjo bolt, stick it in your pocket and walk out...

HELL, go to ace hardware with it and get a 90 degree brass fitting that goes from threaded to stepped, and then get a straight fitting just like it for the other end...then get some high pressure hose and two clamps from the auto store and run that for time being...poor man's oil feed line :D

i ordered one already should be coming this week..right now i just need some kidna fuel managment...damn i wish i had some one that could help me out locally....im loosing hope..just when u think thigns cant get any worse

stackz

lol, I can't help you out since I'm not local but I just bought a greddy blue box off ebay for $50 and a vortec 12:1 fmu off ebay for $48...both used of course.

sorry, not selling either along as I sell turbo kits on ebay for mad money and use these as the fuel systems....

but as you can see from what I just stated...the deals are to be had if you can look for them...until you find a deal I suggest running open wastegate...OR

do this:

get a fuel pressure regulator and an autometer air/fuel gauge and raise the rail pressure until you read a constant green on the air/fuel gauge under full acceleration and you'll be cool for a while at part throttle...

it's ghetto but it'll work temporary....

just don't expect anyone to feel sorry you got your **** ripped off and say, "here, I'm uber rich, please take this blue box from me for free" we're all poor and we all want top dollar for our ****...advice is free so we give it

eL

when i was looking at the broken banjo, i took your e-manage!.. j/k that blows really hard... hope u get something going soon. thieves suck

bump for a friend in need.

yeah im not expecting anything free im just looking for suggestions on what to do, im lookin for a blue box right now, v-afcs are all over the place here if i buy one is there like a defaut setting i can use for the turbo? i appreciate the help

stackz

yeah, plenty of v-afc defaults but I tried a few and they never worked right so I went with a blue box until I got my hondata...

if you want to get up and running around as soon as possible I suggest doing this buy-it-now...cheapest easiest way to get running around town for now. hell, you might decide you love it enough that you won't WANT your blue box....drag kits use them for a reason you know

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...19052

it is literally the ratio you want to run and is a rip-off of the vortec unit so it...is...a...vortec without the name brand association...

bump anyone got a bluebox to sell me for a reasonable price?

well id say im still pretty young then compared to most you guys, but having your car broken into and something stolen and not being able to use your car for a good two weeks isnt really a good time for me esp with work and school coming up..

ek_will

ok i think im going to go with a v-afc, since i can get one pretty quick and run teh hack....anyone got settings for it to run with a stock engine and greddy sohc kit? or do i have to get it tuned...
