BEGI Kit install
 
90% Done at this moment, all that is left is Tapping the oil pan, connecting the oil line to the pan, and installing the turbo heat shielding.

Did your setup come with the new M10 studs? Can you post closer photos of the new hardware?

drewbroo 10-23-2007 06:36 PM

That's what she said...

Wait, what?

Savington 10-23-2007 09:35 PM

Brain, it's not the size, it's how you use it. ;)

Also, go online and order a radiator tonight, either a 1" CSF or a 37mm Koyo off eBay. Your radiator is on its last legs.

drewbroo 10-24-2007 07:08 AM

I will get a radiator after mine explodes. I have not had any overheating issues.

Do you have AC? How did you route the intercooler pipe from the Compressor outlet around the AC lines? That is what is keepign me form boosting right now.

Stephanie Turner 10-24-2007 12:20 PM

You have to move the lower radiator hose. The a/c does make tapping the oil pan a bit more painful, but it can be done. It also requires that some lines be bent slightly to accommodate the intercooler.

DB- Good job on the install!

Will, do, thinking about removing my AC too.

shuiend 10-24-2007 10:26 PM

DO IT. I took out my AC today to fit my intercooling piping and am glad I did. Now to jsut find a manual steering rack to swap in and I will be set.

RotorNutFD3S 10-24-2007 10:32 PM

Just depower the rack. My '95 came without PS and I think it does just fine, but a lot of people seem to agree that the steering ratio on a depowered rack is much more agreeable.

cjernigan 10-24-2007 10:42 PM

Pretty sure the PS rack is one less turn lock to lock than the manual. FWIW

drewbroo 10-25-2007 07:16 AM
