Re: **OFFICIAL FORCED INDUCTION RANDOM CHAT THREAD**
not entirely the females fault, life has been trying to murder me on the daily.
Got married in April (iknorite?)
Ooooof
Moved to downtown Atlanta, hated it, just moved back to Buford.
Ooooooooof
Had like 2 job opportunities randomly fall apart, might have a line on a decent job down the street though
What happened to the racing internship of w/e
My ******* neighbor accused me of running an auto parts store out of the house so code enforcement came out and because the accord wasn't tagged I was forced to scrap it. Still deciding how to ruin his life
Would be pretty fitting to have a hacker for hire get him accused of uh, illegally distribution of 'stuff'
You know, escalating
Got the SVT running (yay)
The old ones look yucky though
Wifes car got hit by my dads neighbor last month
Sue
the list just keeps going but things are starting to get back to normal-ish
hopefully I'll have monies for car stuffs soon, driving a mostly stock car sucks haha
Hey man, still got all those turbos right?
Welcome back fam

Well the element just needs a drivers door, got lucky there.
My very first car was actually one of the first SVT focus they built so when I found one at a good price I picked one up, they might look a bit goofy bit they handle like a go kart on steroids. I've trolled so many people in the car lol.
Once it's at the 350hp level I'll be satisfied, going to be focusing mainly on suspension and brake related stuff because I want to keep the car functional and go destroy it in the mountains.
Of course I still have the turbos lol
Also got word my accident lawsuit is moving forward so that's also good news because for the last 6 years that **** has been stressful

Re: **OFFICIAL FORCED INDUCTION RANDOM CHAT THREAD**
So I came to a stop on the off ramp on the way to work this morning, turned off the car to wait for the light and when I went to turn it back on: nothing happened. No lights, nothing.
I ended up having to push start the car, and it seems fine now, but I'm extremely confused as to why it would all of the sudden stop working like that considering the battery's not dead. Any thoughts?

I checked the terminals and they look about the same as they always have, it doesn't appear that there's heavy corrosion but perhaps I'm wrong. I checked if they had popped off from a bump or something but they were fastened on pretty tight.
The car starts up and everything fine now, but that was pretty alarming; thank god I had a passenger to help me push start it. I'm going to go over the battery and terminals when I get off just to be sure.

Re: **OFFICIAL FORCED INDUCTION RANDOM CHAT THREAD**
So as far as installing an aftermarket fuel pump goes, the helms seems to be giving me different advice than most guides I see on the internet.
Pretty much Helms says I have to replace the retainer on one of the fuel lines whenever replacing the fuel pump. It also says to replace an O-ring on the hanger assembly I believe. I have yet to see one guide where either of these steps are done.
For the injectors, however, it says to replace the cushion, o-rings, and seal rings. I'm assuming I will actually need to follow those steps, right?

Up to you really. I've had to modify some of the rings that go into the intake in some manner to get them to fit on every set on different injectors I've owned.
Save your old orings and seals. May come in handy one day.

I am going to take a stab at cleaning it to see if that remedies the problem. Symptoms haven't been too frequent, a good firm shutting of the door seems to wake it up when I can't get power lol
Thanks for the tips lightning.

Re: **OFFICIAL FORCED INDUCTION RANDOM CHAT THREAD**
Anyone got pics / thoughts on running a full race or any other traction bar?
With my Hot side IC piping I dont think it would work, seems like you would need to route it completely differently/ custom piping and I dont have a welder. Called up greg @ go autoworks He said it shouldn't be a problem but mentioned the same issue. You need to raise the hot side piping to clear the bar, but he also designs his piping in this fashion so it clears the downpipe.
so again seems like you would need a custom bend in the hot side piping to make it work or route the piping differently.
this is on an AC friendly piping sceme

I would have to ditch the ac or get crazy with my charge pipes

Re: **OFFICIAL FORCED INDUCTION RANDOM CHAT THREAD**
So I'd like to replace my T-clamps, anyone have recommendations for some quality?
Did some searching and came across these-

Must be good if they're a supplier for the U.S. Dept. Of Defense.
