I'm still here
 
Just wanted you guys to know I am still here. My car has been offline for awhile now waiting for the turbo rebuild but I hope to be running again in a couple of weeks. I have been lurking and reading the latest threads, particularly on tuning. Glad to see you guys keeping at it :bigtu:

Rafa 07-14-2009 01:11 PM

And we're glad you're still here ;)

neogenesis2004 07-14-2009 01:27 PM

I didn't notice you were gone....oh well :P

gospeed81 07-14-2009 01:46 PM

Oh thank goodness! I was worried....

I'm glad you're still here as well. I am about to bombard you and the others with questions in the next few days as I'm starting to finally tune my car:D

By the way, your map that you posted in the "rough running" thread is the one that Im using on my car now. With a few tweaks its running great.

Well, you have made 54 posts so far in July, so I gathered that you were still around.:noob:

What's the latest on your turbo?

ZX-Tex 07-14-2009 05:04 PM

Turb should be back in my hands this week. It should just be bolt in and go since the Adaptronic was running well before.

I plan on some dyno tuning son mostly to get the timing dialed in.

Good deal. While you are bored, waiting with nothing to do, how about a writeup on installing the EBC, please?:makeout:

I wired mine into the purge valve wires. Just swapped the signal wire on the pnp harness. Piece of cake.

ZX-Tex 07-14-2009 07:30 PM

Ahh yeah sorry I forgot about doing that :facepalm:

Gonna use resbond and bolts (316SS SHCS) on the turbine inlet, and Stage-8 on the turbine outlet.

Uh, I think he was referring specifically to the previously mentioned disappearing nut.:giggle:

ZX-Tex 07-14-2009 11:45 PM

Oh yeah, right... Well, loctite would not have helped that nut. Not using teflon tape on the threads of the oil feed line would have though. I still feel like an idiot, but oh well, shit happens, sometimes even self-inflicted.

Whaaa? I must have missed that part.

Crap. I know that I used tape. Well, it's made it this long. I'm not redoing it now.

I used the same stuff as well. Nothing wrong with it if you dont clog up the line.

Prospero 07-15-2009 07:56 AM

wow, damned if you do....... damned if you don't!

I think after reading your posts that I am gonna look into a flow meter of some sort on my lines. It keeps me up at night sometimes....

Good luck with the re-install!
Cheers,
Prospero
